    Hi Sarah,  I don't use Abstracta but I've seen some excellent uses
    of fabric with it at the shows I do.  One possibility is to use a
    pre-crinkled fabric; this looks great, especially when the fabric has
    a metallic thread in it or look to it.  Another (if I remember
    correctly -- and I wish now I'd looked more closely) uses a fabric
    sheathe that covers the entire four sides of each section, rather
    than just front panels.  The third solution did use front panels and
    they didn't droop.  Unfortunately, I didn't look to see how they were
    constructed but hopefully someone else will know. 

    There's nothing wrong with using plywood, however, except that it's
    heavy. If you're going to be traveling with your display, fabric is a
    much better choice. 

Good luck,  Beth
