Material overview
This refined veneer board combines a luxurious top layer of real mahogany on the visible side (A) with an okoumé backing veneer on the reverse (R) – all brought together on a solid HDF core. This delivers the authentic look of solid mahogany wood, but is more stable and virtually warp-free thanks to the core. Perfect when only the front is visible, and you value both aesthetics and durability.
