You're covering a table? Please explain. What is the table top made
out of now and why do you want to cover it with shelving?

Just a long narrow table with folding legs. Covering because I don't care
for the faux wood finish and I think this would be better than painting it.
I would just shoot a few screws in from the bottom taking care to keep them
shorter than penetrating.

Tile?

I doubt the substrate is solid enough to work for tile, unless you mean
adhesive backed, flexible tile.
Do yourself a BIG favour and forget putting a shelf-board on. Get
yourself some contact cement and some laminate (arborite, or
equivalent) and glue it on. Do the same with the edges. Use a laminate
trimmer bit in your router to finisg the edge of the top and the
edging.
