    A Caution on using plywood as a flooring material under the wheels
    of an office type chair.  In a studio that I had years ago, I used
    ply for just such a purpose.  Over several months, the rolling action
    of the wheels under my weight (150 lbs) delaminated sections of the
    ply and quite suddenly opened up a pot hole. One wheel caught this
    hole and I flipped over in my studio as I rocketed backwards from my
    main bench to my soldering bench (I like separate areas).  A tragic
    industrial accident..... 

    Since that time and 3 studios later,  I now use 3/4 inch ply or osb,
    covered w/ a layer of 1/8" masonite or hardboard.  This is firmly
    screwed down to the base sheet.  It holds paint, etc. and won't
    delaminate. 

Take care, Andy
