Surely you mean square metre??
Cubic metre of MDF, that's one hell of a coffee table???

Nah, mass for materials is usually given per cubic metre, so you can figure out different thicknesses. Mass per square metre of 18mm is going to be 3 times that for 6mm you see

Water is 1000kg per cubic metre, so I would say that the density of MDF is about, ooooh. Medium. Give or take.

Ian is right with the 13.32kg per square metre figure for 18mm MDF too

i think you are a bit "off" with medium, i think its more medium-large
