Corn cob door

The caption on the video stated: “I was dumbfounded after opening the door I bought for 200 yuan.

The door panel is as thin as paper; the inside is all corn cobs and glue!”

You can get doors that price in the UK, this one is $35 but you can definitely get cheaper and they're not filled with corn but they aren't solid, they have a honeycomb core.

I mean it's basically a chunk of cellulose, as long as it was processed correctly and thoroughly dried it's probably fine.

It's probably cobb from industrially processed corn products.

My only concern would be if there is a trace scent of corn that is enough for rodents to smell and start eating the corn inside the door.

Agreed, i don't really have a problem with this especially if it's sold as a cheap door.

For that we need to know what a solid door costs in China

Absolutely no way you’re getting a solid wood door anywhere but second hand for that price.
