The Veneer Cover-up! 2

Veneers are the great furniture cover-up

Without the use of veneers you need the highest quality solid pieces of wood, whereas if you want to cut costs you’d just use a cheap bit of wood with a veneer. This will cause a lack of strength and a far shorter lifespan of the product. Imagine a large piece of furniture, such as a dining table. These have large areas of wood that are highly visible at all times. A veneer could cover wood that isn’t strong enough to bear the loads required, and when exposed to heat could even start peeling! Not such a good look any more!

Can’t I save money by choosing veneers?

Don’t think that because the cost to manufacture a piece of veneered furniture is lower that you will necessarily pay less. Look carefully when shopping for wooden furniture. The phrase you are looking for is 100% solid hardwood. Accept nothing less.
