The cabinet carcase is usually made from plywood or high-quality particle
board, particularly for flat sections that do not need to be shaped, such as
shelves, cabinet sides, or drawer bottoms.
Typical plywood thickness in these
applications varies from 9 mm to 18 mm.
Stiffness and strength are important
factors since cabinets are expected to retain their shape over time and avoid
bend or sag while continuing to support a heavy load.

The best choices for strength are plywood and higher-quality particle board;
they also have the benefit of being less susceptible to warping from moisture.

Stiffness increases rapidly with shelf thickness; regardless of material choice,
a18 mm shelf is 73% stiffer than a 15 mm shelf, even though it is only 20%
thicker.
Shelves made of some particle board formulations, especially where
not reinforced, may sag or deform.
Particle board strength and rigidity varies
by formulation and is determ Less
