Pressed wood, also known as presswood, is any engineered wood building and furniture construction material made from wood shavings and particles, sawdust or wood fibers bonded together with an adhesive under heat and pressure.[1] This makes it different from densified wood, which is solid wood that has been compressed to increase its strength and possibly modify other properties.
Pressed wood can also contains strips of wood veneers. Panels that are laminated from sheets of veneer are usually known as plywood.
