Solid veneer

Solid veneer is a thin slice of real wood that’s bonded to substrates like plywood or MDF, creating a surface that mimics solid wood at a more affordable price. It’s widely used in furniture, cabinetry, doors, and decorative panels, offering the aesthetic appeal of wood grain and texture.

Solid veneer is prized for its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits, using less wood while delivering a high-end look. It also provides stability by reducing the risk of warping and shrinking. However, veneer is more susceptible to damage like scratches or dents and is more challenging to repair than solid wood. Once the veneer layer is compromised, repairs are limited, unlike solid wood, which can be sanded and refinished multiple times.
