"The desk’s sides, legs, stretcher, and drawers are made from solid wood. With the design of the desk, the top could not be made of solid wood otherwise there would be problems with wood movement over time. Each Laura Desk has a top made of plywood with 1/16"-thick, hand-cut solid veneer on its writing surface. Standard veneer, even on premium plywood is less than 1/32" thick, and this wouldn’t last over time. With the thicker veneer, we’re creating an heirloom desk that will last for generations."
