How Tell Solid Wood Furniture To Veneered One

[Javiertan 0]

1. Solid Wood is usually heavier than a veneered piece. Carved details would also mean a piece is made of Solid Wood.

2. You’ll be able to feel the grain if a piece is made of Solid Wood. Study the direction of the wood grain, too – if the grain on the side does not match up to the edge of that on the top, the piece is probably veneered.

3. Veneered furniture tends to have a uniform, “finished” appearance on all sides. Solid Wood pieces have unfinished parts (stud pieces) on hidden sides, such as the underside of a table or the back of a drawer.

4. The use of edge banding is another mark of a veneered piece. It covers up the unfinished edge of the veneer.

5. The patterns or grains are repeatable for a veneered piece, but it's impossible to wood
