Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

Why is veneer ok? It could be covering anything?

Usually when something is called 'solid wood' but it has a veneer the underlying wood is real it's just something cheap.

Agreed. A mahogany veneer on top of bamboo doesn't really count as "solid wood" in my book.
