r/BeginnerWoodWorking on Reddit: Is 1/2” plywood strong enough?
May 16, 2024 -
Designing a built-in mudroom and I’m not sure if the bottom cubby/bench portion can be built from 1/2” white birch plywood. This portion of the built-in is 22” D x 61” W with supports approximately 20 inches apart, will also have poplar face frame. On top of this bench portion will be a 1” veneered particle board bench top. My question is- will this bench be sturdy enough to hold the weight of the rest of the built in?

1/2" plywood to cabinets? | Woodworking Talk
June 2, 2024 - If it is 1/64"-1/32" under it would be considered 1/2" and yes you can make cabinets from them. I build them a little different with 1/2" plywood, and still use 3/4" for tops and bottoms.
