Why Wood Veneer is The Best for Boardroom Furniture

Wood veneer is great for versatility, durability and cost effectiveness which is what makes it so well suited for workplace furniture. When used to form boardroom furniture, wood veneer can bring a great deal of advantages to a business, including a greener status and environmental awareness – but what makes it such a fantastic choice for work environments?

Very Little Waste

To create wood veneer, solid wood is sawn from a log in thin slices, before being bonded together. This process uses maximum yield from a tree and results in far less wastage than solid wood boardroom furniture.
