Solid wood is a natural piece of timber. It is highly durable and can be restored or refinished multiple times, which extends its lifespan. However, it is sensitive to changes in humidity and may expand, contract, or warp if the air is too dry or too humid.
Engineered wood is made from several layers or pieces of wood bonded together. Compared to solid wood, it is more stable and less susceptible to changes in humidity, making it less likely to warp or deform over time.
