I've used Mellomene (melomean? sorry, I canna spell). It's a slick

====================================

The material you are referring to is "melamine" also known as MDF
(medium density fiberboard). It is readily available at Home Depot in
the US at reasonable prices. It is very stiff and will stay flat if
properly supported.
