Veneer isn’t fake. It’s real wood, sliced thin instead of sawn thick.
The glue people worry about? Under five percent, the same adhesive holding up structural beams in buildings. It’s not a shortcut. It’s engineering.
And ‘solid wood lasts longer’ isn’t true. Solid wood moves, a tabletop in a dry room cracks within a year. Layered veneer locks the grain in opposite directions. It stays where you put it.
Slicing uses almost the whole tree. Sawing wastes nearly half.
