Almost all of it is MDF, not chipboard/particleboard.

Technically, Ikea furtinure is usually comprised of composite elements formed by a mix of cardboard, MFD, fiberboards, and plywood.

Perhaps the epitome of Ikea's engineered lumber prowess is either their Kalax line or their Lack tables, which are built from fiberboard blocks held together by a plywood diaphragm and with a celular cardboard core.
