 Solid, Veneer, and Laminate Wood Furniture - SimplyVanities.com
The ancient Egyptians are credited with the first evidence of veneer construction, which takes thin layers of wood (or other materials, such as ivory or marble) and permanently bonds them to a center core.
The layers of veneer are placed so that the grain is at a 90 degree angle to adjacent layers, which means that when the wood shrinks and swells, it will do so uniformly in all directions.
Solid wood is not as capable as withstanding natural shrinking and swelling, which renders it more prone to splitting and cracking.
