to have the product that would work for me. It's BB grade, which should be sufficient for the look i'm going for. Here's a link to the product i'm looking at: http://www.woodworkerssource.com/34balpack3.html

They're calling it furniture grade, but the face is not "finish grade". Not too big of a deal since I'm going for a semi-rustic look anyway. What's your take on their offering based on the description they've included?

I'm in the DMV, Arlington,VA to be specific. Def. not going to home depot! I got a sheet of mahogany faced ply for a woodworking class I took a few years ago from this spot down in Springfield.....i'll likely check them out again too...but it was $99 for standard sheet...which was kinda pricey IMO.

Did you see the link of the piece i'm trying to replicate? It's a pretty basic form from my estimate.

AutoCAD. I think most of them should take .cad files right? But I just don't know how to actually find a place :(. The place I took the woodworking class doesn't have one.

Ideally, it'll be similar to your basic flat-pack style furniture...ala Ikea... So i'd like to be able to break it down if necessary. I just don't know the name of those types of fasteners that are used in that kind of furniture. I'm having a hard time googling stuff because I don't know all the technical terms.
