I read a suggestion to use 1/8" Hardboard topped with 1/8" Acrylic Coated MDF for kitchen drawer bottoms.

Drawer bottoms (in my silverware drawer, for instance) take a lot of steady load.
I've seen a lot of MDF/hardboard/termitebarf movement in moisture/load situations,
and would be happier with 3/8" plywood, rabbeted at the edges
to fit a 1/4" groove.

For small drawers in dry locations, though, you could do well with melamine-surfaced
hardboard (like for shower stalls).
