I noticed on the way by the wood area that they had 5/8 inch black melamine. Anyone use this? Seems like a cheat since its already got a nice surface, would it be a bad idea to try using it? --- End quote --- I've used their 5/8" white melamine, with good results. I wish my local store had black, lol. |

only downside is that it's particleboard, which I find kinda weak |

I agree with Bender about particle board. Its hard to cut out fancy shapes that we have to do in this hobby, because a thin cut tends to want to crumble. Plus it dont take much moisture at all to ruin it. |

I've used the Wilsonart black laminate before, and that works pretty well. Most any place that does kitchen counters will have it or be able to order it. That stuff is pretty good and durable but it's not cheap. I've never used the melamine but I wonder about the durability of it. If it's just a super thin veneer on particle board do you need to treat it with kid gloves when you work with it? I would also wonder about the edges, since it's particleboard would it chip away when you route it (do you get a rough edge?) |

Ya I was really close to picking some up, but it's the particle board part of it that I don't like. If they made a real wood product coated in that stuff, I'd buy it for sure. Decided to just go with regular 3/4 plywood for weight reasons, and I will have to order some of the laminate. I love the look of the laminate so the extra hastle will be worth it in the end. |
