At
least (as a minimum) 5 times the price
of melamine furniture. The melamine board is produced in vast quantities.
The timber veneer is produced in custom order quantities.
Your
piece has been made for you! This is also why the lead time is 6
to 8 weeks. However, be advised that grains go various ways, bumps,
lumps and imperfections are part of the natural material. Colour
shades will vary on different pieces of any suite.
Unless
you want to double the price again, that is how it is.
______________________________________________
Buying
a timber veneer product does not necessarily mean that much of the
manufacturing quality increases by 50% over melamine furniture.
That is
simply not the case. What
you are getting is the natural feel and lustre that the timber veneer
brings, which melamine can never come near.
The
techniques and cabinet making work are exactly the same. The veneer
is the special thing. Be aware that timber veneer is a natural product,
with as many flaws as you and I.
