This is a sanded plywood panel with no "holes" like one occasionally
sees in the outer ply of constructions sheathing, etc. It is suitable
for painting but I don't think the grain on the outer plies are good
enough for staining or varnishing.
Keep in mind that I used a $10 tape measure with an unassigned
uncertainty value to measure it. And I took one measurement of one
panel. This is the summer season and the plywood can expand a bit due to
moisture and temperature. The temperature in my house, in which it has
now been sitting for ~12 h, is ~25 °C with a relative humidity of 54 %.

That shoots a large 3 mm hole in my +0 tolerance argument. Of course,
it only applies to construction grade plywood, and I assume this is a
cabinet grade.

The length, according to my roll-up metal tape measure, is 2441.5 mm. I
cannot measure the width since each panel was ripped at the store.

The plywood is also labeled as being made in China.
