MDF will become mouldy and damp if you dont coat it. Melamime looks alot better. Im not sure which is cheaper.

Do you live anywhere near an Ikea? they have a wood/coated contiboard recycling bin in the carpark - you can get loads of stuff for free and they always have stacks when it's been sunny coz people stop hording it for their wood burners.

MDF can also give off harmful gases in confined spaces if not well coated.
