Hi folks, I'm making myself a new desk, using a kitchen countertop that I came across at Home Depot that seems pretty sturdy (formica covering particleboard). I want to use for my hutch and cabinet bases a 3/4 inch cabinet grade plywood. Home Depot has it for $25.88 per 4 foot by 8 foot sheet, and it feels pretty good, finished both sides, and two sheets would give me ample wood for both the hutch and right and left base. Anybody use this kind of wood before? I'm not planning on putting in drawers or doors to close it in, all I really need is to box it for two shelves for each base. Can't imagine the shelves bearing any more than ten, maybe twelve pounds, tops. Looks are not a concern. heck, if I could have found a green countertop with yellow polka dots and pink plaid swirls that would save me another ten bucks, I'd go for it. :)
TIA, Joe [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
