Shipping damage
Every single piece of wood I received had damage to the edges. I have pictures if you want them. I strongly suggest you use some kind of hard cardboard edging or Styrofoam inserts instead of cellophane wrapping.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice

Warped boards and splintered edges
The good:
- Boards are indeed 18 mm thick, with 1 good face
- Have not encountered any voids
The bad:
- Main one: boards are twisted, out of 6x 20"x30" boards, only 1 was actually flat
- The non-factory edges are not straight, and have noticeable splintering
I'm relatively new to woodworking and have mostly stuck with bigger construction grade projects thus far. I was hoping to use these sheets as shelving in my linen closet, but was disappointed that only 1 was flat enough to be used as is.
I have shimmed the rest with some scrap wood at the back so they don't wobble so the money wasn't completely wasted; however, for the price and hype around Baltic birch being incredibly flat and stable I was expecting more.
As other commenters have noted, I also feel that this plywood is not flat enough to make jigs out of.
Note: I am in WA while the plywood came from AZ, so maybe the warp is from the quick change in climates

Oh no! So sorry about the trouble. We'll take care of it, though. Go to your order list annd locate the "Report a Problem" on your order to get a replacement started.

3/4 x 2'x4' Baltic birch
All of the sheets had defects on both sides. Disappointed.
I use alot of this all the time for projects. I like my stuff to look good. I will have to order from another supplier unless they contact me and do better. If I can get what I expect, I will continue to order here....we'll see what happens. Other than that the wood arrived in good shape.
