Q: What are wood veneer sheets?

Wood veneer sheets are thin slices of wood (usually natural wood) that are used as a surfacing material in a variety of applications, ranging from furniture to decor. While they offer the same visual appeal as hardwood, as they are glued over a substrate such as MDF or ply board, the usage of real wood is much less compared to hardwood.

Q. What are the benefits of wood veneer sheets?

The benefits of wood veneer sheets are many. Here’s a quick overview:

  • Cheaper than hardwood – Due to reduced consumption of real wood, wood veneers are a much more pocket-friendly option than hardwood.
  • Timeless appeal – While wood veneer sheets may cost less compared to hardwood, they offer the same timeless natural appeal.
