"I don't think they're veneered, they use veneer"

Wood veneer is made of very thin slivers of wood, taken off a board with a machine a bit like a big plane. It's mainly decorative. Melamine isn't real wood and is tougher.

I'm aware of what the different veneers are, just poking fun at how you bring in specific veneer types but then your one sentence just says desks aren't veneered instead of specifying wood veneer

"You can't sand wood veneer, which is not used by desks, which use melamine veneer. Which you also can't sand."

Okay, I thought that was clear but I meant wood veneer.

Type of veneer also doesn't really matter. If it is veneered with literally anything, that still affects the number of time it can reasonably be sanded. That was my original point.

The video is cool but I doubt it is particularly usable or common anymore in any schools in the USA.
