solid wood
Not veneer plywood
Solid wood means lumber cut directly from trees, as opposed to engineered wood products like plywood, particleboard, or MDF that combine wood fibers with adhesives.
Furniture makers and carpenters distinguish solid wood from veneers, where a thin decorative layer covers cheaper material underneath: The table is solid wood, not veneer.
The term implies quality, durability, and authenticity.
