Hello,

In both these parameters laminates would just be slightly better than veneer.

Please use edge banding for edges.

Thanks,

Hey,

Veneer would allow for smoother, better finished edges, the same can be achieved in a laminate when it is machine pressed. Although both options are expensive.

Laminates are cost effective and low maintenance, If you find a good carpenter, the edges are also manageable (unless your kids are bouncing off of and/or hanging onto your furniture!)

As cornerstone suggested, Edge banding is the cost effective solution for laminates

Laminate is stronger and tends to be heat- and scratch-resistant. Laminate is usually economical.

Since you have kids, it is advisable to buy furniture's with edge banding as it smoothens out the edges. Edge banding also protects the wooden panels in your furniture from moisture, thus reducing the effects of atmospheric humidity, liquid spills and such on the strength and durability of the wood.

Hi, if you use laminate use edge banding of 2mm around the corners n if you have budget in hand go for Veneer finish.

I would suggest go for veneer as it will give smooth edges with aesthetically appealing furniture. In this you can go for any circular shape as well which can not be achievable in laminates. It will require maintenance for sure but worth doing it for great delivery.
