Build mirror panel

[Datagubben]

Hi, I'm going to build a mirror panel, which material should I choose? MDF or plywood? I should also mention that I plan to encase the mirrors with fir moldings.

Where should the mirror panels be mounted? What surface finish are you looking for?

Where will the mirror panels be mounted? What surface finish are you aiming for?

It's in a dining room, aiming for a smooth and fine finish. My first thought was to first attach a plywood board along the entire wall, then build the mirrors with MDF. The plywood might make it easier to glue/nail everything instead of the drywall.

A thin mdf on the wall probably works better than plywood if you want the smoothest possible finish. Mdf is also harder and more impact-resistant than plywood.
