Fake Wood?

I know a lot of us look down on fiber wood or wood pulp ground up and spit out into planks or sheets..
I got some leftover "fake" wood flooring and decided to put it to the test.. So far it has been great as a background for the train table.  I also used it under my carving table to level it.  Then whenI thought that was all I could use it for I put a few wood screws through it and made a paint drying board.  Thats when it hit me.  It's may be green on the inside but it works hard just like real wood.
