Anyone have any good experiences with the new Chinese made so called
3/4" (11/16")oak plywood?

Nope ... AAMOF, I've gradually come to the conclusion that HD are nothing
but thieves in disguise (whose masks are quickly slipping off) who cleverly
market a ton of crappy merchandise to folks who either don't know better, or
don't give a **** ... and guess who's building your houses these days.

man this stuff is junk.
Plan on taking this up with HD's management.

Save yourself some time and just go **** in the wind ... it'll actually make
you feel better, with the same results.

Besides, there is no "management" at HD store level. Manager's by
definition, can make exception to policy. You won't find anyone at store
level who can do that.

That said, not all Chinese plywood is as bad as what is sold at HD, who
apparently buys what no one else in the industry will take and sells it to
the aforementioned.

I buy a good deal of 3/4" Chinese birch for built-ins in new homes from a
local milling operation that supplies trim to the construction industry in
these parts. Good stuff, way above what the crap HD sells, and it's less
expensive to boot.
