This is such a cute idea!! Those two materials definitely sound strong enough to accomplish what you're looking for.
I would use 2×4's. Especially if people will be putting any sort of weight on them, like in the picture above . I don't think PVC would hold up.
I would do wood so it's more supportive through and through. It can be as easy as buying the ready made fence panel from Home Depot which is 6 x 8 slab and you can just add a base or starting from scratch like the pics below.
Would it work with drywall? You might be able to get a premade stand made of wood and then attach a standard height piece of drywall to it, and then do your cutouts. It would (surprise!) look like a real wall. You could even wallpaper it. Good luck! Show it off here when you are done so we can see how you accomplished it!
Great idea! I would use lumber and drywall. You can use standard building techniques, and even make it portable by doing a split where the chair rail is. We do this a lot for stage plays.
Great thoughts ladies and gents! You've given me plenty to think about and a stronger bit of confidence to tackle this project!
Try using a pallet! You can add 2x4 feet at the bottom to make it stand up.
