We've just had a quote for putting a fitted unit in my sins bedroom. It's in a wide alcove and will be half shelves and half hanging space. I was pleasantly surprised by the quote until he said it was for 18mm mfc. This is just chipboard? Suddenly I'm less sure as I want a piece of furniture that looks good, can be painted and will last . Have any of you got experience of mfc ? I'm not sure whether to ask for it to be made of something else which I assume would cost a lot more.
