If your kitchen cabinet choice is veneer, the benefit of using this product is that it offers an even consistent appearance which makes it easy to stain.  Veneer cabinetry is effective in maintaining humidity and temperature adjustment.

It is subject to chipping and peeling.  Fading or damage of veneer are not repairable and requires replacement in the event of damage, this decreases the value of this product. Veneer is made with thin plywood as well as a composite base, this makes it easy to manufacture and contribute to the low cost.
