Pop's Tips on Buying Wood Furniture:
Solid Wood means that all exposed parts of the furniture are
made of solid board, either softwood or hardwood lumber. No veneers or
particle boards are used.
Tip: By following a seam to the end you can always
identify solid board, where you will find the "end" grain. Veneers are
glued over the edges to look like solid wood, but are always faced on
the end and show no end grain.
Remember: "All-wood furniture" is not necessarily solid
wood.
