“They have exactly what our cabinet shop needs, amazing service.”

Cabinet Plywood for Kitchens and Furniture (Memphis)
If you’re building cabinets, plywood choice determines how the project turns out, but your supplier can make the whole thing easier for you.
What “Cabinet Grade” Means To Us
When we say cabinet-grade plywood, we mean imported birch. We love it for its:
Flat, stable sheets
Reliable cores (minimal voids)
Veneers that can be finished
Consistent thickness
And, for carcasses and drawers where you want a finished surface, the UV treating can’t be beat.
This is material meant for:
Kitchens
Built-ins
Furniture
Who This Is For
Professional cabinet shops
Remodelers and General Contractors
Serious DIY homeowners
What We Carry
We always have Imported Birch in 1/4”, 1/2” and 3/4” in stock. We carry unfinished, UV-treated prefinished 1-side and pre-finished both sides.
We also carry the most common hardwood plywoods for visible surfaces: maple, oak, ash, cherry, walnut and even cedar for that log cabin look.
Convenient Location
Our location in Bartlett, right off of I-40 is easy to get to, just around the corner from Lowe’s on Highway 64. Our friendly staff will load you out on our easy-access loading dock. Or, for orders over $1,000 we offer free shipping.

Choosing the Right Plywood for Cabinets
-
Most of our customers use a combination of:
Imported birch for structure and interiors
Hardwood plywood (like maple) for visible surfaces
Sometimes, they’ll use Baltic birch for drawers and boxes, especially for its strength and void-free appearance on edges.
-
If you’re building anything that needs to last, yes. Cheaper plywood costs more in time, frustration, and rework.
But the pricing for imported baltic birch is actually pretty competitive with the lesser-quality plywood they sell in the big box stores.
-
This is a matter of your use-case and budget.
3/4” for cabinet carcasses is the gold standard. If you’re building a kitchen to last twenty years of generations, this is what you want. We do see 1/2” used for carcasses, but this is mostly in value builds.
If you are building plywood drawer boxes, we recommend 1/2”.
-
Yes—especially for joinery.
Void-free or minimal-void cores make a big difference in strength and reliability.
Imported baltic birch is good enough for carcasses, but we recommend Russian Baltic birch (the 5’ x 5’ sheets) for drawer boxes with visible edges.
-
Yes. Most of our walk-in customers do. If we’re delivering (free over $1,000) we’ll pull them from the top, but we won’t send you anything that’s obviously damaged or terrible looking.
