Furniture & Wood definitions


Five-ply construction is what you should expect in a good veneer panel. You will find many side panels on wood items are three-ply construction, but the bottom-line is: Five-ply construction is better. It is more stable, w-hich is what you , should expect to find in better furniture items.

Glue blocks: Found on the bottoms of drawers. Good drawers have glue blocks even though good drawers do not demand glue blocks. Is that clear? Another way of saying it is: good manufacturers, who are not looking for ways to cut corners, still use glue blocks because they add to the stability of a drawer. With new manufacturing techniques, glue blocks are not as essential as they used to be, but look for them as a clue to determining how tar the manufacturer has gone in order to produce a superior product.
