Plywood is manufactured in many variations. Plywood is used to build furniture, cabinets, concrete forms or any other construction project that requires large, flat pieces of wood. Plywood is created by placing thin layers of wood with glue under extreme pressure in hydraulic presses to create a single sheet of wood. Softwood plywood is typically used for structural building and construction applications. Hardwood plywood is used for furniture and cabinets.
MDF is commonly used for shelving in closets and cabinets because itâs inexpensive and smooth. But MDF isnât as stiff as plywood and will sag over time. So when I use MDF shelving for heavy loads, I simply beef it up with wood. First, I rip a 1x4 right down the middle to get two strips about 1-5/8 in. wide.f you use MDF as baseboard, be sure to paint the lower edge before installation. That will provide short-term protection against occasional spills. Also install the baseboard about 1/4 in. above the floor and then cover the gap with wood base shoe molding.
