Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.

If there's one thing we've found kitchens around the world have in common, it's that they're as different as the recipes we like to cook in them. That's why we spent years visiting home kitchens and speaking with chefs and architects before designing the METOD kitchen system. The result is a kitchen system that's more adjustable than any we've done before – whatever size your space and whichever direction your kitchen dreams grow.

Safety is fundamental when we develop our products. But no one can predict everything that might happen at home, and accidents often happen when you least expect it. The best way to reduce the risk of tip-over accidents is to anchor your product to the wall. For peace of mind, every day.
