What are the characteristics, benefits, and care considerations of oak veneer furniture?
Learn about the natural grain patterns, colors, and textures of oak veneer furniture, plus why it’s a practical and visually appealing choice for home décor.
Some of our most unique styles are crafted with high-quality or specialty wood veneers over a solid or engineered wood substrate. Our veneers are hand-selected to add movement to a piece while minimizing the risk of expansion and contraction found in some solid wood products.
These natural characteristics make oak veneer a versatile and aesthetically pleasing choice for furniture making, combining beauty with practicality.

- Oak veneer exhibits various grain patterns, including straight, wavy, or even knotty grains. These patterns add a distinctive and attractive appearance to furniture.
- The natural color of oak veneer can range from light golden hues to medium browns. Over time, exposure to light can cause the veneer to darken and develop a rich patina.
- Oak veneer has a naturally coarse texture, which can be felt on the surface. This texture can add a tactile quality to the furniture.
Communication Tip: Due to the natural characteristics of wood, each piece of oak veneer can vary slightly in color and grain pattern. This variation ensures that each furniture piece is unique, so no two are alike.
