ENGINEERED WOOD

If you're looking for artificial wood options for bathroom furniture, there are several materials available that can provide the look and feel of wood while offering better moisture resistance. Here are some popular artificial wood options for bathroom furniture:
Engineered wood, such as plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF), is a common choice for bathroom furniture. It's made by binding together layers of wood veneers or fibers with adhesives. Engineered wood is generally more resistant to moisture than solid wood and less prone to warping or splitting.
