Is Mdf okay for a work bench, if not I would appreciate any suggestions.


A friend built one with a ply base, a hefty MDF inner core and a
masonite top, the top was only about 4mm thick, and will be replaced
as required.

Personally I preferred to glue 2x4 pine together like a butchers
block. Then applied 3-4 coats of the cheapest polyurethane and soya
bean oil every couple of months. Solid and looks great.
