Short answer, veneers will never take the place of solid wood furniture. But I think veneered furniture market will continue to grow in popularity. I think it’s debatable on which furniture costs less, when you consider labor, transportation vs durability and longevity.. But given a chance to spend $1200 on furniture or go an a week vacation, people now would prefer to vacation or spoil themselves…
Also, veneering can be an art form all by it’self, especially when you consider the designs that can be made with book matched figured veneers.
