Perfect Plywood for quality furniture
I use maple often to build furniture. I gave it 4 stars because sometimes I'll get a sheet cut and home and the laminate is coming apart. Definitely check over the sheet a few before you leave. Other than that, its perffect for all your DIY projects!!!

Thank you for the positive review! I am glad that this product seems to be working well for you. If you have a delamination like you mention in your review, email me at mhale@cfpwood.com so we can discuss. You should not have that issue. Thanks - Michael

Absolutely junk
Normally I don't bother buying any lumber from box stores, but it was close to home and starting to rain. I did get it inside still dry, but the second I began to spray latex primer on it it started to delaminate. I had it inside my shop at least two weeks before even thinking about spraying, but this sealed the deal with me. You won't sell another junk piece of lumber to me at any price. Now I have a few thousand dollars worth of cabinetry I have to explain away to my customer. How about you calling them to explain why it's such trash and it was my fault for buying from you in the first place?

I read all of the comments on this product before I purchased it. I used it for the top or work surface for a "built in" Home Office. I wanted Maple to match the base cabinets that I installed. I had Home Depot cut each piece in two, to my dimensions. Examining the cut, I found no voids in either of the four pieces. I made other cuts for final fit and small patches and again I did not find any voids of any concern. The pieces I purchased definitely had one "finished" side that was smoother than the other. The top veneer appears to be very thin, so use care.

I love working with this Maple plywood, easy to cut, tear out is not much of a problem and it looks great. If you have a little extra cash in your project budget, up grading to maple is not a bad ideal.

Furious with myself for not listening to bad reviews....Absolutely Horrible
I'm so upset with myself for not heeding the warnings from other reviewers. I thought to myself "They probably got a bad batch. I doubt I'll have the same misfortune." WRONG. I just finished this midcentury piece that was painted with an "eggshell" finish. The voids under the veneer are obvious and the surface isn't smooth. There are round "bubbles" all across the surface. I can feel where the veneer is already delaminating is areas. What a complete waste. I'm going to have to have a piece of custom tempered glass cut and made to fit this top and try and salvage this piece. The glass is going to cost me 3x what the plywood did.
it's not the $55 lost on the plywood that hurts. It's the hours and hours into this project that are wasted.
Don't waste your money and especially your time on a poor quality product. Buy a higher quality plywood like Baltic Birch or find another plywood supplier.
