Customer Reviews for Columbia Forest Products 1/4 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. PureBond Birch Plywood (actual 0.188 in. x 48 in. x 96 in.)

I needed plywood that could bend but was durable. This stuff was the cat’s meow. Came out beautifully and boss man’s wife loved it.

Expensive wood to raise my truck camper cab over slightly higher than the top of my truck cab, but thinnrst I could find. Truck bed looks great now, but nobody will ever see it because a rubber mat will cover the whole bed. Much thinner than 1/4 th but works for me!

Tried making cabinet doors but this is so under size that it's unusable. They are obviously delivering less material than promised to try to save cost. This is not the same plywood they used to carry. If you need it to fit, don't buy this. Do better HD!

Veneer quality is fine, however the product actually measures 5/32. While this may be acceptable in some applications, I can not use this. Disappointing.

The birch surface is nice and I like the more health friendly bonding materials, but this board was so shy of the advertised size I am unable to use it. This might be 5/32 at most. The website says 0.203 minimum. In an earlier comment a company rep even stated that they expect it to be 0.18, so the listing is misleading and the product appears to lack quality control. Also the core looks like pressed material, not hardwood like other brands of plywood.

Wood arrived in perfect condition without a scratch. Will order again!

I like this product & would have given it 5 stars but I wish the real thickness was much closer the nominal 1/4”. I prefer not to use 1/4” MDF (with the real 1/4” thickness) especially for bathroom vanity drawers or faces so in order to cut the grooves that matches the thickness of it, I have to use miter saw since it is difficult to find a 5mm router bit.

I was only looking for a 4' x 4' pieces, and Home Depot did not have it. I used to put on the back side of a cabinet I am making. So I bought the full sheet, it served it's purpose. Since then I have found some other projects to use the remainder.

I had beautiful new kitchen cabinets installed and, with the holidays fast approaching, I needed temporary countertops. Purchased one sheet of birch plywood, covered it with contact paper also purchased at Home Depot, and, Voila, countertops, which are still holding up beautifully after almost two months!! HD did the straight cuts and not-so-handy me did the other cuts at home using my Dremel.

We used it for shiplap and stained it .. looks very good

Beautiful after its sealed.

This was easy to find and in stock at my Home Depot! I love Purebond because they use soy-based adhesives and I feel safe using that in my home!

I purchased the Birch Plywood for my laser engraving business and it was just ok. I wasnt impressed with the wood because it had alot of voids in the wood. :(

Purchased for specific project. Fits all requirements

I've purchased this product numerous times and this is the poorest quality I've received. The sheets had numerous glue pockets and were already warping upon pickup. This was a "pickup" order of 15 sheets, so not sure if all of the pieces were like this in the store or it was just my luck of the draw. Will try again, but if the next order is the same will have to find a different product.

I should have known better just looking at it. It’s about an eighth of an inch thick no where near 1/4 of an inch

Panel was warped, not flat.

I use homedepot and the other store brand. The prices of 1/4 inch 4x8 birch plywood are exactly the same in both stores. About $47 per sheet at the time of writing this review. The homedepot one measures 0.18 inches thick actual (not 0.203 as stated). It's way off the quarter inch that is advertised. I'm comparing this to the other store brands birch which measures 0.23 inches thick. Homedepot I think you can do better in supplying a better product, or offer a better price.

Was no happy about the use side had to many blemish spot

Not bad but had a handfull of voids I didn't notice in the store. Should be okay for the application I bought it for.

This was not what the product I was going to purchase. They had mixed the birch for the standard 1/4 inch one side sanded. Still the DVD case turn out.

Didn’t have to dig through the pile to find a good sheet.

It was not a good sheet.

Terrible quality - After searching the stack for 20 minutes found 2 decent pieces. Every time a cut was made the veneer started to flake and chip off. Lamination was terrible!

Measures 0.173”. Absolute trash! Don’t waste your money.
