Which is more durable — laminate or veneer on an L-shaped desk?

The durability hierarchy is clear: for daily office use, high-pressure laminate outperforms veneer in every functional category — scratch resistance, moisture tolerance, and maintenance. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we specify HPL for all open-office and multi-user applications, and offer veneer only in private executive configurations where appearance is paramount and the desk will receive lighter use. Veneer's ability to be refinished is its primary practical advantage over HPL. Call 1-800-460-0858 to determine which surface is right for your application.
