Explanation of the grading scale for Baltic Birch from [1] Dan’s hobbies. Baltic birch holds stains very well on both its faces and its edges. It’s as easy to paint and glue as any wood.

In this video, I demonstrate how to build a DIY Modern Dining Table measuring 66" x 32" using Baltic birch plywood. The project requires three 4’x8’ sheets of 3/4” Baltic birch plywood ...

But 3/4 Baltic Birch Ply for the sides will definately work just fine. Be sure and get "hardwood" dowels for the cross-members, I would say, no less than 1" — 1.5" in diameter.
