I would love to tell you that it is a ridiculously expensive piece of space qualified, diamond impregnated, titanium substrate, multi-layer wonder polymer composite structure that was designed for use in -100 to -150 °C temperature regimes, and that there was no way in the world that any mere mortal could possibly obtain another sample of this miraculous material. But if I did so, I would be even more full of it than usual (insert your own response here).

The reality is that it is a piece of modular shelving material that I happened to have sitting in the corner in my basement, unused from the installation of a bunch of cheap base storage cabinets obtained from Home Depot. It is a piece of 1/2 inch chipboard covered with Formica, and measures about 23 by 25 inches.
