Wood Veneer

Veneer furniture is a very old form of office furniture and upscale decorative pieces. Wood veneer is constructed by gluing 3 mm wood sheets with adhesive. These thin slices of natural wood are a cheap alternative to those solid wood furniture. Veneers are made of wood and have wood grains and designs in their appearance. Always choose one of the best Wood veneer suppliers to buy quality veneers.
