But according to the link below, Medium Density Fiberboard seems as dicey as other hardboard products.

I would say even more dicey. It absorbs water like a sponge, and is not nearly as durable as tempered hardboard. MDF uses resins which do in most cases contain formalehyde, whereas quality hardboard relies on the lignen present in the wood for adhesion.
