A veneer is a thin layer or slice of wood that is often used as a decorative surface over lower-quality materials, providing an attractive finish without the cost associated with solid wood. Veneers are commonly applied to furniture, cabinetry, and wall panels to enhance appearance while utilizing more sustainable wood resources. The use of veneers allows for a variety of aesthetic options while maintaining durability and functionality.
