   Ron,
   I can only assume that MDF is the same the world over. Some love it some hate it. I don't mind it for some applications. If you are painting pay attention to machined edges. Get them well sanded as they fur up a bit.Screw your work together, pre-drill your holes.
   regards

   MDF is quite alright to work with, it
   machines nicely, paints up well - if you seal first
   with a non-latex primer, but; it weighs a ton
   (have lots of help on hand to help move the
   finished entertainment centre {yes, we spell it
   differently}) and I find the corners are slightly
   more susceptible to damage.

   Be prepared for lots of fine dust, and then be
   prepared for more fine dust!

   cheers

   Would like some information on using MDF to build built-in entertainment center and bookshelves that will be painted. How is it to work with?
