It really depends on the variety and the wood. MDF or medium density fiberboard is quite dense and heavier than say, pine wood. But not all particleboard is the same. There are many kinds and they vary greatly in density and composition.
I’m not sure what being heavier is supposed to mean though. Heavier doesn’t mean stronger.
I also said dense. Particle board comes in many densities (as does wood). The range of both of them overlaps, so there is no way to make a sweeping comment that one is more dense than the other.
Someone above you said something about heavier, which is how it got into my comment.
Well you made a very strong statement to someone: “that’s just false.” And you were not correct. Correcting that with actual nuanced information is not being pedantic.
That’s just false. Particle board is without a doubt less dense than actual wood.

I didn’t say heavier. I said dense. I wasn’t making a comment about the strength.

Come on man…
You’re being pedantic. Yes if you choose the least dense wood you can, and the most dense particle board, sure. 👍.
