Answer:
The term facing refers to the placement and orientation of furniture pieces in relation to each other or to the room they are placed in. It typically refers to two or more pieces of furniture being positioned directly across from each other, creating a symmetrical arrangement. For example, two armchairs facing each other or a sofa and a coffee table facing each other can be considered as facing each other. A technically incorrect, but economical method of veneering by covering a thick common wood with a thin layer of decorative wood on one face only.
