Reply to comment by saraphilipp in Local Burger King has fake "raw plywood edges" on their tables by pvfjr

Yes, veneer has been around forever.

This is not veneer, however.

There's literally a piece of verneer on top of that particle board.

I think I can settle this as someone who works with these materials daily. The edge that has broken off is simply called edgebanding. Put on by an edgebander. The table here most certainly is a laminate capped particle board with edgebanding. Likely the underside of this table is either raw brown paper or potentially another laminate layer or melamine. You can tell it is laminate by the distinctive 0.8mm thick decorative layer exposed now that the edge has failed.

Perhaps colloquially, but not literally. The top is synthetic. No traditional wood veneers to be found here.

I think you don't know what the fuck veneer is.

Haha, indeed. None of those definitions even apply here.

That's a wood print HPL, not actually a wood veneer which wouldn't last very long in a restaurant environment.
