Plywood is a versatile building material commonly used in furniture construction. Its popularity stems from its strength, durability, and affordability. Plywood is made by gluing together thin layers of wood veneer, with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to improve strength and reduce warping.

In furniture making, plywood is often used for various components like table and chair tops, cabinet doors and shelves, and even entire pieces such as cabinets and desks. Its strength-to-weight ratio makes it suitable for both structural and decorative purposes in furniture design. Additionally, plywood can be easily shaped, cut, and finished, allowing for a wide range of design possibilities.
