High-end wooden furniture: solid wood or real wood veneer?

What Is Solid Wood?

Solid wood is cut directly from the trunk of a tree. It is a noble material, valued for its authenticity and durability.

Advantages of Solid Wood

• 100% natural and durable material.

• Long-lasting when properly maintained.

• Prestigious and unique appearance thanks to natural grain patterns.

Disadvantages of Solid Wood

• Heavy weight, making furniture harder to move.

• Expensive, especially with premium wood species.

• Sensitive to humidity and temperature changes.

What Is Real Wood Veneer?

Real wood veneer consists of applying a thin layer of genuine wood to a base panel (such as plywood or MDF). This process achieves the look of solid wood while offering greater stability and affordability.

Advantages of Real Wood Veneer

• Same appearance and texture as solid wood.

• Lighter and easier to move.

• Resistant to changes in humidity and temperature.

• More affordable compared to solid wood.

• Allows for modern, high-end design.

Disadvantages of Real Wood Veneer

• Can be damaged if the veneer layer is too thin. At Créations du Nord, our veneer is thick and built to last. 😉
