Veneer

A thin slice of real wood, typically 1/40 to 1/16 of an inch thick, glued to a plywood or MDF substrate to provide the beauty of solid wood at a lower cost. Veneered cabinet panels showcase genuine wood grain and can be stained like solid lumber. Quality veneers are used on door center panels, cabinet end panels, and shelving in stained cabinet lines.
