   Yes I veneered it and that is original wood under the roached out photo finish. The wood they used is a cheap white wood , not any nice grain to speak of, photo finish was used over the cheap wood. You can stain it  but it doesn't look to good, or you can photo finish it again , which is not my cup of tea.
