Most furniture these days is made of MDF (micro-density fibreboard)
There are different types of man made boards such as Blockboards, Chipboard's, Hardboard's , Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF) , Plywood's etc.
Well from a construction standpoint...Particle board (a ply wood made from many other pieces of wood glued together) or MDF ((medium density fiber)board) again made of almost the same thing, a bunch of fibers glued together. If your not seeing the pattern here give up now ; p
Medium-density fiberboard(MDF or MDFB) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibers, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] It is a building material similar in application to plywood but made up of separated fibers, not wood veneers. It is denser than normal particle board. It is also more stable than particleboard, has no grain orientation,has excellent machining capabilities.Before applying a finish, the edges should be sized(sealed) with a coat of diluted PVA glue to reduce absorption.
Not directly. Wood moves with changes in temperature and humidity, which would cause tile to come unstuck rather fast. You'd need to put in a layer of inert material first, like sheetrock, fibreboard, mdf or similar.
