Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request
that is laminated (i.e that white surface) plywood, but of not-so-good quality.

thanks for the reply. how do you tell that it's not-so-good quality plywood? I've tried doing some online search but couldn't find much information.

The picture shown above is blockwood. It is normally used for shelving or doors because of its weight. You can't possibly want to spend much strength opening or carrying heavy shelves or doors right? It is technically alright to use blockwood unless you are referring to the bodies(carcass) of cabinets which should be in plywood.

For cabinet carcasses, contractors should use plywood because of its strength as they are pieces of wood laminated together.
