As a young(-ish) person myself, I can assure you that it's not that we prefer particle board, but rather that that's the majority of what's affordable out there. As I'm sure you're probably aware, unless you go thrifting like you just said, real wood stuff in general, let alone furniture, is usually very expensive.
id thrift more wood pieces but i dont have the tools/space to fix it up. also i move a lot and that stuff is HEAVY
Exactly. That's my situation too. I've found great furniture at Goodwills and (at the time) had the money to buy it, but I didn't have the room in my car for it, nor did I know anyone who did.
