What is the long-term durability difference between laminate and veneer conference table tops?

High-pressure laminate (HPL) is actually more durable for daily use than veneer — it resists scratches, moisture, and heat better and doesn't require refinishing. Veneer has a richer, more authentic wood appearance and can be sanded and refinished if damaged — but veneer damage is harder to repair cleanly than laminate damage. For high-traffic conference rooms, laminate wins on durability; for executive boardrooms where appearance is paramount, veneer is worth it.
