This can only be discerned on a case by case basis. I once bought a very
battered, badly painted, desk that no one wanted, because I looked
underneath and inside with the drawers removed and discovered that the
executive sized $25 desk was SOLID walnut. Very often people really
don't know what they are selling. It could be veneer, or plastic
laminate, or it could be a photographic overlay on particleboard. It
could also be some other wood stained "teak color". Sometime you DO get
lucky, but don't count on it.

Hi All. Old boat ownership related...
I've been searching the local classifieds for a piece of furniture for
my sister and I keep noticing "teak" furniture. Some of it is really
cheap, today I found a rather large solid looking shelf/cabinet thing
that's going free... "teak".
I'm probably just dreaming that these people have actual solid teak
furniture, right? Is old "teak" furniture a good source for teak? Or
is the word "teak" when discussing furniture just another word for veneer?
Thanks,
