Perhaps worst of all, the surface veneers are extremely thin and fragile.
It appears to be thinner than a sheet of paper. I bought brand new saw
blades for making this project, and the chipout is absolutely horrible. I
also sanded a couple of pieces yesterday, and can sand through the veneer
in less than 20 seconds with 100 grit paper. Now my project is almost
finished, and I'm almost scared to sand it for fear of sanding through
the veneer and exposing the core.

Worst of all, I paid $40 a sheet for this stuff at Home Depot, and then
saw MUCH better quality lumber at Lowes (where I normally get my plywood)
for only $30 a sheet.


THD has a 30 day satisfaction return policy on just about everything. You'd
be surprised at what they will allow to be returned. You should have
returned the plywood when you noticed it was so substandard. They will also
price match, plus a 10% kicker on any competitor's like product.

I have a problem with all of the posts here about lumber that guys go out
and buy (... and select from the pile themselves), and then post complaints
about the inferior quality of such things as should have been obvious when
they were buying it. Plys are easy to see, right on the rack. Fills are
easy to see. Shame on you for not taking the time to look it over better,
but why post a vent about how crummy the product is when you are the one who
selected it?
