faux wood
Imitation grain material
Faux wood is material made to look like real wood but isn't—typically plastic, laminate, or composite.
Common in flooring, furniture, blinds, and outdoor decking where real wood would be impractical or expensive: The faux wood blinds fooled everyone.
The term often carries a note of inauthenticity or cheapness, though modern faux wood can be remarkably convincing.
