Veer towards veneer
Solid wood is obviously more expensive than veneer, where a thin piece of wood is glued on to boards. Veneers, however, are now of remarkably good quality and it’s hard to tell them apart from the real thing. This beautiful kitchen, for example, has IKEA carcasses and plywood fitted doors with an ash veneer covering.
It’s worth getting an experienced carpenter in when working with veneer, as a professional will ensure it looks like a quality piece of furniture once it’s finished.
