Construction Style 5 Ply Construction

In order to maximize the qualities of engineered wood, many Williams-Sonoma, Inc. products use five ply construction (sandwiching a piece of engineered wood between four layers of veneer).

Also, at minimum two layers of veneer are required on each panel face to prevent telegraphing. Telegraphing occurs when underlying wood grain can be seen through the finish. A solid frame may also be added where a more durable, shaped edge is needed.
