Furniture finishes can include veneers, which are thin sheets of wood that are glued onto the surface of furniture to give it a more attractive appearance. Veneers are often used to cover up imperfections in the wood or to create a more uniform look. They can also be used to add texture and color to furniture. Veneers are typically made from hardwood, such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, and come in a variety of finishes, including lacquers, stains, and paints.
