Reply to Solid wood vs Veneer furniture? by ValkyieAbove
I have a dresser set from the 1950s. The veneer is beginning to peel after it cracked on one of the legs. This has been in constant use since then

Maybe a dumb question for some folks, but I hadn't ever thought about it myself. Google says the tool maker is Stanley Black and Decker and the thermos is made by a different Stanley that's owned by Pacific Market International.

Thanks! This is definitely the best option so far. But technically it's a UK specific device so I'd need a power adapter, although the power is the same !

Honestly, it seems that is said about every clothing brand on this sub. Everything I’ve gotten from them is quality and looks great.

Refinishing is DIY-able, but can be quite difficult, depending on the shape of the wood. The stuff you use to strip polyurethane is absolutely disgusting. And getting stuff professionally refinished can cost quarter to half the price of buying new.
Secondhand is still great and I would recommend it, but it's important to know what you're geting yourself into if you plan to refinish. Touching up or painting over is much easier than re-staining, though (but not as nice of a result).

Trees are a renewable resource! It's not about how many you kill, it's about how sustainably they're grown/harvested.
Plywood uses less wood, but sticking the layers together involves glue and high heat. Also, in the US, it is almost exclusively manufactured in California, so if you're on the east coast, you have to add in shipping.
Overall locally sourced, sustainably grown solid wood is the most eco-friendly. Unfortunately it can be hard to find out this information.

Veneers over solid wood are good and repairable. Anything applied to particle board or chip-board should be considered disposable.

Any one you’d recommend? I tried the pakitner one but it barely worked.
