I've used Mellomene (melomean? sorry, I canna spell). It's a slick
sort of vynal coated pressboard, fairly expensive, fragile and heavy
to move, used in interior home construction.

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

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.

Melamine and MDF at two completely different things. However, some
MDF is covered with melamine. Melamine is a plastic that is used
as a coating on shelving, cabinets and so on.
