Plywood versus MDF on a budget job and I learned the hard way

Spec'd MDF for a bathroom vanity install last month cause the client wanted to save $200. Huge mistake. The edges swelled up from just the humidity in the air after 3 days - never again. Anyone else ever get burned trusting MDF over decent plywood?

after 3 days"? That's wild, I've never seen it swell up that fast.
