MDF.....bleh....

its cheap (in more ways than one) and a nasty product to work with...if its budget alone that sways you, then by all means use the stuff....but I've found it to be a very fragile product for baseboard application...the outside corners get torn up very easily...if its being used for crown then that problem doesn't exist (per se) but it surely makes running crown a 2 man job a lot of times (I can do it alone, but I've put up over 50,000 pieces of the stuff and have a tad of experience)...the one good thing about MDF is that its pretty much flaw free and paints up very nicely usually....

considering its nature, avoid using it in a wet area (even if you take the time to prime all sides of the piece) as it will usually just fall apart when exposed to any amount of water....
