Reply to comment by Regnes in Local Burger King has fake "raw plywood edges" on their tables by pvfjr

Except those are faking quality hardwood. This is faking plywood. I wasn't aware we were mimicking the plywood aesthetic these days.

lol, I just wanted to show my support. I'm with you, but I'm also wondering if all these people not immediately equating plywood with poor quality, nor understanding what a veneer says about the thing it's pretending not to be, says more about me than anything.

Plywood is very natural compared to MDF or particle board... :)

I have these in my IKEA kitchen set up 15 years ago. The bench top is particle board, and the edges are faked plywood. Top is grey laminate. Were quite popular at the time, but perhaps works best when the top isn't wood grain.
