Pressed wood fiber goes by a couple different names
depending on the type and use

Oriented strand board (pretty self explanatory) or OSB

Particle board (the original name for the stuff) made from sawdusts and

Medium density fiberboard (MDF)

All are sold in 4 foot (1.3m) by 8 foot (2.6 m) sheets.

MDF is most often used for furniture you assemble.
