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

It's made of particle board, not plywood. But you're right, they look nothing alike.

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

It's about 1/8" thick clear plastic, with the woodgrain pattern printed on the backside.
The oddity to me, is the fact that they faked a raw plywood edge when you could just as easily fake a hardwood pattern that actually matches the top.

It's not veneer though.

Hate to tell you this, but conventional plywood is biaxial, so there's really no "wrong direction". We're also not comparing it to real lumber. The surface veneer of cabinet grade plywood is also exceedingly thin, doesn't count as one of the structural plies, and has no bearing on the grain direction of the underlying plies.
The point is, they're faking the fake stuff now.

Yes, veneer has been around forever.
This is not veneer, however.

Plywood is the new hardwood, apparently. Prices of it are pretty high I suppose.

Except those are faking quality hardwood. This is faking plywood. I wasn't aware we were mimicking the plywood aesthetic these days.

Very nice. My daughter would surely roll her eyes at that one.

What's funny is right behind me they have two counters made from legit 2x6 stock, biscuit joined, from Ash, I believe. I guess they ran out of budget after buying those.

I took some pics of one in the North Cascades this summer at Cutthroat Lake. Rangers were fairly surprised it had come down that far.
