Jim,
I've used plywood, plastic and plywood/solid construction
where I've worked with good results. Particle board -- in
my opinion -- is NOT the best choice for anything that has
to bear a load.
You can easily check material for conductive content and
general RF suitability, in a microwave oven.

Greetings fellow EMC types,
ANSI C63.4-1992 refers to a "nonconductive table" to be used during emissions
testing as a platform to set equipment on. I am building a table for use in a
3m semi-anechoic chamber and have been told that particle board has metal fibers
and should not be used. Does plywood suffer from the same problem? What type
of tables do you use? Any plastic tables out there?
Thanks in advance for your time.
