That's just false. Particle board is without a doubt less dense than actual wood.

It really depends on the variety and the wood. MDF or medium density fiberboard is quite dense and heavier than say, pine wood. But not all particleboard is the same. There are many kinds and they vary greatly in density and composition.

I’m not sure what being heavier is supposed to mean though. Heavier doesn’t mean stronger.

I didn't say heavier. I said dense. I wasn't making a comment about the strength.
