The description says the table is solid wood, however customers have mentioned the veneer. Why would a solid wood table have a veneer?

must be a mis-print. My table is solid wood. I absolutely love it. I'm using it as an island in my kitchen.

Mine doesn't look like a veneer but if it is it is a good quality. To answer your question about a solid wood and veneer: Having been in the furniture business for 15 years many top line companies, such as Thomasville, use the combination to achieve a desired look you can't get from a solid wood i.e., swirls, butterfly look, heart shape etc. When done correctly it is a quality product. Hope this helps.

Seems to be solid wood, I could not find any part that looked like veneer, maybe the back? The back is finished though. Very heavy, solid, well built.

It appears to be real hardwood veneer over some kind of lesser wood. Not particle board or MDF, as it is not that heavy. Nicer than something you would get at "wally world"; but, not what I would consider high-end furniture. Good value for the price.

I am not 100% sure but I do not think it is solid wood but it is a very well constructed and very nice looking piece of furniture. For the price - a very good value.

This desk is hardwood, not veneer. It is a bit heavy. . . This was a deciding factor for me. . .

when it arrived, it said wood veneer; that is all I know; but it is not solid wood like the info seemed to indicate in the description.

The whole cabinet is solid wood. I believe the veneer is on the sides, front and top. Only part not wood is the glass on the doors.

Dear James. I am not an expert in recognizing wood, but I can assure you it is not solid wood but it looks good for me. It is easy to clean and it does not look like a cheap piece of furniture. I clean the table with windex vinegar and it looks great. Once in a while I use wood polish. It is a nice looking table, if you want something simple. It is hard to guess what your expectations are, but I was not disappointed.

It is not solid wood it is veneer. the back is finished. It comes totally disassembled so it takes time to put it together. Both sides are the same. But, it is a nice piece of furniture for the price

The legs are solid wood. The table top and the small round piece attached to the legs so not appear to be solid wood. Maybe MDF with wood veneer - not sure, but it is not solid wood. We received a first table with both of these peices damaged and could tell by the crushed areas that it was not solid. A second table came with a damaged leg (which was replaced by the vendor) and we could see that the legs were solid wood.

Veneer of course. You would pay a fortune nowadays for a well made solid wood desk, that would not warp over time. There is an advantage to particle board, over wood planks. Particle board does not warp, but it is twice as heavy, has very little lateral stability (you cannot use it for bookshelves, as they would warp under the pressure), and it is "dead" wood that does not move and change over time anymore like "real" wood planks do. But even in the old times, people used fancy veneer over cheaper wood.

The bed is made really good. It's beautiful and I love the finish on it. As far as being solid wood I'm not sure but it seems like it is.

It is solid wood, I believe it's Pine but im not 100% sure. It is a very solid little table though, it did take about three coats of varnish to get the high gloss look I wanted.

I'm not sure what the wood is but it is solid. The walnut veneer is beautiful and in putting it together, I saw no evidence of the particle board stuff used to make furniture these days. If you decide to buy this, the only change we made when assembling this piece was that my husband put a drop of wood glue in each hole to attach the back to the sides for added strength as he and another family member weigh between 275 and 300. Anyone can sit on it with no problems and I have had it for about 8 months now.

I actually did not buy this set. I did find the same table by itself and matched a different set of wrought iron and wood chairs to it. The table is not veneer(if this set has the same table) The one I bought is a nice solid wood piece. Love the chairs I matched with it..a LOT nicer than the ones included with this set.

The has solid and cherry veneer but be careful this item does not ship well via UPS or FedEx. It is very heavy and mine arrived in pieces. The bottom was completely torn off, corners were banged and dented it was a total mess.
