Mahogany is an imported hard wood. Furniture made of these woods is often found in unfinished furniture stores. This refers to matching furniture items intended for use in a particular room. This is a decorative finish found in all price ranges. Wood veneers can't split or crack through, although very thin veneers can chip and be difficult to repair.
Plastic veneers are photographs of wood.
They are durable but hard to repair. Drawer interiors should be satin-smooth, with hardwood or metal centers or side drawer slides. Particleboard or plywood, covered with a veneer of natural-wood grain, often replaces solid wood for side construction in cabinets because thinly sliced wood tends to crack and warp. When appropriate, the piece should have built-in levelers to compensate for an uneven floor. Display lights in cabinets and hutches should have switches that are easily accessible.
