Shelves sized for the span
Distance between supports and expected load come before choosing thickness or promising an unreinforced shelf.
Plywood shows its layers at the edge and can form the body of a cabinet. It is not one uniform grade: veneer, bonding, thickness and visible face all vary. We select a specification for the piece being made.
If you want the layers visible, the edge becomes part of the design. If not, it can be veneered or covered to suit the intended finish.

A layered look still calls for clean machining and finishing, especially where hands meet the surface.
Plywood can remain visible or take another veneer or finish. Substrate and final face should be specified separately.
Products differ in how they suit moisture exposure. We choose a particular board for the environment.
The product specification must suit its intended use.
“Plywood” says nothing about species, grade, layer construction or finish. Those details affect appearance, price and suitable use.
A desk or bookcase is not chosen for its attractive edge alone. We check load, support and joints before cutting components.
Ask for thickness, board type, face and edge treatment, and fittings. Two units should not be treated as equivalent merely because both say plywood.

Yes, where the chosen board and edge finish suit the piece and its cleaning needs.
Only after checking grade, sealed edges and water exposure. Plywood is not assumed to be waterproof.
It changes construction and finishing. Include room photos and the load the piece will carry.
