How about this type of finish?

Can someone comment on this type of finish:

Basic vinyl finish, as used by every budget speaker since the late 1970s. Easy to put on, cheap and it looks OK if done properly. The first type you mention -the white one- is frequency used to cover the chipboard of cheap kitchen cupboards too. Not a patch on a real wood veneer of course, but as the blurb says, better than raw MDF (or chipboard)!

Cheers

I've had no experience in veneering before starting my speaker project, but I can surely say that I'm not affraid of doing veneering in the future with this stuff

Thickness and quality is very good, and so easy to apply with contact glue

What did you use to trim it?

Just a sharp knife and sanding
