Hi, Some years back the casework company I worked for used MDF with Maple and Oak skins for door and drawer fronts because it would stay staight.Plywood doors would warp. very heavy and not good for cabinet parts. Veneer core or particle board had better screw holding quality but would warp when hung on hinges. Would not recomend MDF for layout construction. Stan
