Is Plywood Used in Fine Furniture?

Yes, plywood is used in high end, solid wood furniture and there's a good reason for it. Solid wood moves in response to humidity and the plywood is there to allow for the movement of the shelves in this bookcase, otherwise, the risk of a crack in the solid wood is very real. 

It's important to note that high grade plywood is not particle board, which should not be used since it is inferior in strength and substance. Our plywood is often made from the same species of wood the furniture is made of. It simply acts to protect the solid wood and maintain the integrity of the piece of furniture.
