I use it for cutting, pressing and as a small design wall. Just make sure the plywood is thicker than the heavy duty staples you're using. I have this on top of the high bed in my spare

I really feel like stirring the pot on this. Christine, I'm fairly new and have no side on this, but have noticed that most people here have been fairly respectful of each other.
