MDF has many advantages over plank wood, particleboard or high density fiberboard. It's very smooth because the wood fibers used in its manufacture are uniform and fine. This makes it have low tear out, which means that when sawed, the end has a smooth cut instead of a jagged edge. This also means that a coat of primer and a couple of coats of paint take well, leaving an attractive, finished surface unlike other composite wood products.
MDF is appropriate for many applications because it is smooth, uniform and won't warp
Medium density fiberboard or MDF, is a composite wood product similar to particleboard; it's made out of wood waster fibers glued together with resin heat and pressure
Does not warp or split and does not expand and contract like nature
Oil-base or latex paints can be used when finishing MDF
Perfect for accent walls and other projects around the house or office

So beautiful and easy to work with!
I've scouted the cull bin at my local store frequently to get all of the shiplap needed for my projects, and I am so happy with how they turned out! Earlier this year, I installed the shiplap above my gas fireplace and painted it with BM Old Navy tinted paint. I trimmed the fireplace edges with pine outside corner moulding and used lattice trim next to the ceiling. I definitely overbought on the shiplap and since it was non-returnable cull lumber, I decided to use it in my master bathroom behind the vanity. I painted it with BM Simply White tinted Behr paint and used the same lattice trim for the sides. I couldn't be happier with it!

Absolutely love how my walls turned out. I was a little hesitant because it is MDF and was worried that it might look like it was just cheap paneling but it surpassed my expectations! Definitely would recommend to all my friends and plan to put some up on our gas fireplace wall and in my bedroom.

Love this!
We bought the 12 foot boards, which were hard to get home, but once we got home we only had to make minor cuts to each board. The boards went up so easily! We added 2” corners on the edges of the wall and measured very carefully so we hardly even needed to caulk. We started at the bottom and worked our way up. We used liquid nails on the back of each board then attached with a pin nailer in the tongues at the studs. (We drew lines up the wall to mark where the studs were.) We painted Alabaster White (satin finish) after everything was up. It was so easy with a roller. The hardest thing was seeing where we had painted as the color was almost exactly the primed color of the mdf. I would highly recommend this product.

It was hard getting the 12 ft pieces home, but Home Depot wrapped the ends up with Celofane so they were tight. We just loaded them on top of our Pilot and tied them down. We wanted the 12ft because we had some long walls and they fit great. The installation was easy especially on full pieces. It's very beautiful in. My picture is of the wall and my cabinets that I'm painting white as well. I'm very happy with how it has turned out.
