You shouldn't look at the surface alone when buying a dining table. If you don't know how to read this, you might end up buying veneer thinking it is solid wood. When buying a dining table, the most common things people look for are "the color is pretty" and "the grain is pretty." However, what you really need to look at are the "cross-section and the lamination method." Even if the outside looks like solid wood, the inside can be different, and they might charge you the price of solid wood. When buying a dining table, don't just look at the surface; make sure to check the sides as well.
