When planning your next bathroom renovation, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is choosing the right bathroom cabinetry. Should you go with veneered plywood cabinets or invest in a solid wood bathroom vanity? Both materials have advantages and drawbacks, and the best option depends on your style, budget, and the long-term performance you expect from your custom bathroom vanity cabinets.
At Wood & Stone Designs, we specialize in creating custom made bathroom vanity cabinets tailored to your space. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of using veneered plywood vs. real wood for bathroom cabinetry.
What is Veneered Plywood?
Veneered plywood is constructed by layering thin sheets of natural wood veneer over a plywood core. This method creates the look of real wood while offering structural stability and cost savings—making it a popular option for bathroom vanity materials. Veneered Plywood should not be confused with the chipboard that is covered with a wood grain plastic laminate. This material is often used in big box store cabinetry, and is considerably less durable.
What is Solid Wood?
Solid wood vanities are made entirely from real lumber, offering unmatched depth, texture, and grain patterns. When homeowners think of premium custom bathroom vanities, solid wood is often the first material that comes to mind.

Which Bathroom Vanity Material is Best for You?
If you’re looking for affordable, stable bathroom cabinets that hold up well to humidity, veneered plywood cabinets may be the right choice. But if you want a premium custom made bathroom vanity with long-term value, beauty, and refinishing potential, solid wood is the winner.
