Virtually everyone can appreciate the natural beauty of real wood furniture. Please keep in mind, veneer surfaces are delicate. Nicks and scratches will result if not handled with care.

Laminate $-$$:A thin piece of man-made plastic made to resemble real/natural wood affixed to a wood fiber composite material. Laminate is very resistant to scratches, water stains, and heat. The print quality of laminate often makes it indistinguishable to the untrained eye.
