Frequently Asked Questions

What is veneered MDF?

Veneered MDF is created by bonding a thin veneer of solid wood to standard grade MDF. The result is a similar quality alternative to veneered Plywood, enhanced by the uniform colour and straight grain of the wood with the strength of the MDF core.

Is veneer furniture good quality?

A veneered product is made out of thin, decorative slices of high-quality oak, affixed to a lower-density core that will resist warping and moisture and therefore offer a good value alternative to solid wood. This strength and inexpensive option are produced to a high quality, making veneer MDF a great option for cut-to-size furniture boards.

Can you paint veneered MDF?

If the veneer surface is in good condition, you can simply sand it a little, prime and paint. You can treat this like any other piece of furniture. However, if the veneer is chipped and damaged carry out the process as mentioned in our guide before sanding.

Is solid wood better than veneer?

Depending on the craftsmanship of the wood (the types and quality of finish, cut, hardware and other factors that went into the construction), solid wood furniture can last for generations. However veneered wood is incredibly durable and an inexpensive alternative.

Is veneer real wood?

Yes! All of the veneers that we supply are made from real solid wood. It is worth checking that your veneer is real wood, as often some manufacturers may offer vinyl or laminate alternatives.

What is veneer used for?

In woodworking, a veneer is a cut of wood that is 0.8mm thick, that is applied to both faces of a strong MDF core. This is to seal and stabilize the core, which is crucial for building furniture for instance. 

Can you take the veneer off of furniture?

While it is possible to remove a veneer, it can be extremely difficult to do, as removing the veneer would likely damage the MDF core underneath. For this reason, we highly recommend checking that you require veneered MDF prior to ordering.

Can you refinish the veneer?

It is definitely possible to refinish a veneer. To do so you treat it almost the same as a real piece of solid wood, though taking extra measures to avoid damaging the veneer or its MDF core.

How do you protect wood veneer?

While the wood veneer can be varnished and stained to protect it, we also recommend considering how the veneer will be used. If used on a table for instance, that you purchase an acrylic table top protector for extra protection.
