    Veneered furniture is covered with a thin layer of real wood. Wood veneer is often used on high-end furniture and is sometimes more expensive than solid wood. This process became particularly popular in interiors in the middle of the 20th century, where teak wood was often used for Danish designer furniture.

    To take full advantage of your veneered wood furniture, please observe a few basic rules:

    - Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, as well as humidity and extreme temperature variations

    - Be careful not to leave a round of moisture on the surface after watering plant flowers.

    - Do not expose furniture to scratches from pets or sharp objects.

    - Use coasters and slip pads under lamp bases and accessories.
