What is the difference between teak and teak veneer?
The difference between teak and teak veneer is how much of a piece is made up of teak wood. Artisans craft solid teak furniture entirely out of teak wood. On a piece with teak veneers, pieces of teak get applied to a base made of plywood or a less expensive hardwood. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of teak wood furniture.
