Yes, plywood is fantastic. I wish I could buy furniture made from plywood. I only ever see it in vintage pieces. It's all MDF these days. MDF can be pretty good in some applications, but I mostly see it being used inappropriately: it is laminated poorly (so it peels eventually), it is not properly sealed against moisture (so it warps and discolors over time), and it is used to secure fasteners (so the furniture becomes wobbly and eventually fails). If these same pieces were made out of plywood, they would last 10X as long.
