Moisture Sensitivity: One of the most significant disadvantages of chipboard is its poor resistance to moisture and humidity. It tends to absorb water easily, which can lead to swelling, warping, and a reduction in strength and durability.

Pros: Affordable, versatile, suitable for non-moisture-prone areas, easy to work with. Cons: Prone to swelling and damage from moisture, less durable than MDF.

The chipboard will last for a shorter time than plywood in similar conditions as in the end the small chips will expand by absorbing moisture and will crumble. Instead plywood will withstand for a much longer time. Eventually the layers will separate and the board will loose the strength but will not crumble.

Limited durability: Although less expensive, chipboard is not as durable and strong as solid wood. It can be damaged more easily and is more prone to dents and scratches. Difficult to repair: Unlike solid wood, chipboard is not as easy to repair. Damage such as chipped edges or dents can be difficult to fix.

Using chipboard, which is made from recycled wood particles, sawdust, and other wood waste, helps reduce the need for virgin timber. This practice not only makes use of otherwise wasted materials but also aligns with IKEA's goals to minimize environmental impact.
