What is the difference between solid wood and engineered wood beds?

A solid wood bed is made from sawn timber such as teak or sheesham. An engineered wood bed is made from manufactured boards such as plywood, MDF or particle board, usually finished with a veneer, laminate or fabric.

Is a solid wood bed stronger than an engineered wood bed?

Solid hardwood is generally strong and can be sanded and re-polished. The strength of engineered wood varies a lot by board type and thickness, so ask what board is used and how thick it is.
