It also depends what the veneer is on. If it’s IKEA, it’s probably MDF which is crap. If you are in Canada check out EQ3. I have a bedroom set which is veneer over plywood I believe and it is still in Greer shape after almost 20yrs. A few chips and scratches here and there. I have also moved a couple of times and disassembled/re-assembled. If you don’t abuse it, it should last.

I am very much opposed to buying online furniture without being able to see the quality first-hand. As others have said, check out local listings for used furniture such as some of the major brands of mid-century modern or danish/teak furniture
