Default Home Depot's Chinese made plywood

Anyone have any good experiences with the new Chinese made so called
3/4" (11/16")oak plywood? Bought two sheets of what seemed to be flat
plywood but after cutting them to size I noticed the pieces began to
warp and twist very badly also after cutting the pieces and exposing the
inner cores there were a lot of unglued plies, man this stuff is junk.
Plan on taking this up with HD's management.


I've used chinese birch with good results. One home depot I went into
was really discounting a stack of chinese birch. I asked why and the
manager said that the stack looked really rough. At the corners some
of the veneer was delaminating. It was a good price though and it
looked like you could still use most of it. I've heard of people
having problems with the chinese birch. I guess it depends on the
batch you get.

Havn't heard of chinese oak.
