it's exterior ply, it should be ok but it's a bit unsightly not to mention extremely heavy. it also tends to twist and warp out of shape at times

some folk get a bookcase from IKEA or some other kind of thing similar, you might need to replace the back with thin plywood as some are hardboard or MDF. Don't make a table from MDF as it can be toxic fumes when wet and heated
