They could have cut it down to size for you before you took it home. I got my melamine at home depot. I needed 4 sheets of 8'X4' to make my rack (it weighs over 325 lbs!!!) and they cut it down to size before I loaded it into the truck to take it home. All I had to do once I got home was trim a few edges to make all the shelves identical. Getting them to pre-cut all of it for me only cost $2.00 lol.
