Depends on the lot.
The stuff today seems to have a thinner than paper outer veneer.
Honestly, I don't know how they can glue that stuff on without the glue
soaking through the veneer. It makes you think there's some new
technology that involves the thinnest possible layer of whatever space
age adhesive is in vogue now. And that is surely part of the problem.
I've had some that adhered very well and others that I almost returned
because the top veneer would peel off like onion skin. Once it started,
it seems like a stiff wind would take the rest off. Horrible, horrible
stuff. I always check it now, by rubbing my finger up on the edge of an
end to see if I can get it to peel.
