In the past I have purchased melamine coated particle board in 2 x 4 foot
and 4 x 8 foot sheets, actually the 4 x 8 foot sheets are 49" x 97" in size
to account for the chipping that can occur on the edges with handling.

Is it possible to purchase melamine sheets like the kind used for
shelving in widths greater than 11 7/8"? I asked at my local HD and
Lowes, and building supply companies with no success, both bigbox
places said it was not manufactured any larger than shelving width.

Cheers
