Veneer: Veneer is cut into a thin layer of hardwood, usually thinner than 1/8 of an inch.Typically, veneer is bonded, or glued with adhesive, to a cheaper surface that is hidden below. A less expensive wood or particle board can often be found underneath. This practice allows
furniture makers to design beautiful pieces at a lower cost.
Solid Wood: Furniture made with solid wood can be sanded, stained, varnished, treated and
painted. Some woods are soft and show wear, such as worn corners and edges, for many years of use. Others are called hardwoods and have a more durable lifespan.
Laminate: Made with synthetic materials,very thinly sliced pieces. In some cases, it
is made to look like wood grain . Laminate typically has a shiny finish and is known for being used in low-end furniture and pieces that need very
durable surfaces. Of course, laminate is much cheaper than solid wood or veneer to produce,and easy to maintain and clean,anti-scratch.Laminate is typically used in areas where it will get a lot of wear or will be subject to liquids.
