Because plywood is so darn easy and stable.

Easy, yes; stable, not necessarily. If you don't believe me, come look at
the cabinets I made a year or so ago for my wife's laundry room using 1/4"
birch ply for the panels. The four doors on the lower cabinet are fine; the
four doors (about the same size as the lowers) are warped beyond
belief...one corner on each is standing out 1-2"!! And yes, they were flat
originally. One of these days - when I can conquer my urge to just destroy
them - I'll make new ones. And I won't be using 1/4" ply (or *any* ply) for
the panels.


Help me understand this. Are these just panels, or did you use rail and
stiles?
I don't see the proverbial snow ball's chance in he!! of a 1/4" plywood
panel warping solid wood rails and stiles.
