A wood veneer is a thin strip of solid hardwood peeled or cut from a log. Wood veneers are then attached to plywood, medium density fiberwood (MDF), or particle board to create wood-like panels. They are thin, lightweight, and a way to achieve the wood look without the cost of solid wood cabinet doors. Consider wood veneers a finish to present a beautiful wood face for your cabinetry.
