Solid and engineered wood
The differences between these two are in the construction. Solid is a solid, through and through, piece of wood. Because it is solid is can be sanded and refinished many, many times and can last for more than a lifetime. Solid is usually more expensive than engineered wood.
Engineered wood is made using several thin layers of wood, with a top layer that is made of the species wood desired. Engineered wood is suitable for below grade installations such as a basement, because it is not as vulnerable to moisture and how it is installed. Solid wood can only be used above or on grade level.
