Solid wood coffee tables are crafted from whole wood pieces, making them sturdy, durable, and easier to refinish. Veneer coffee tables use a thin layer of wood glued over a core material, like plywood or MDF. Veneer can offer a similar aesthetic to solid wood but may be more affordable. However, veneers are generally more sensitive to scratches and moisture, limiting refinishing options. Solid wood can be an investment but offers long-lasting quality, while veneer options provide flexibility for those on a budget.
