Hi

Just how stong is plywood?

Say I have a drower, where the sides are 4mm thick (0.1575inch) plates. Will
they hold?

It will be 20cm tall (~8inch), 46cm wide (~18inch) and 43cm deep (~17inch).
I will use some wood to build the construction, which is - some to the sided
and a screw though both wood and plywood to a supporting piece of wood under
the plywood bottom of the drawer.

But still it will be "hanging" in plywood only. Just hwo strong is this?
