Armrest with oak veneer layer

An armrest having a length, a minimum total width, and a maximum total height, said armrest comprising:

• an armrest body made of a wood material different from oakwood, said armrest body extending in a longitudinal direction and having a planar lower surface, a planar upper surface opposite to said lower surface, and two opposing planar lateral surfaces that interconnect said lower and upper surfaces;
• an upper veneer layer made of oakwood and including a curved top surface, and a planar bottom connecting surface fixedly attached to and covering said upper surface of said armrest body, wherein a ratio of a maximum thickness of said upper veneer layer to said maximum total height of said armrest is at least 0.1;
• and
• two lateral veneer layers, each of which is made of oakwood and includes a planar top end surface fixedly attached to said bottom connecting surface of said upper veneer layer, a bottom end surface opposite to said top end surface, a planar inner lateral surface fixedly attached to and covering a respective one of said lateral surfaces of said armrest body, and a curved outer lateral surface, which is opposite to said inner lateral surface and which is formed with a protruding rib that extends in the longitudinal direction, a planar surface section that extends from said bottom end surface to a lower edge of said rib, and a curved surface section that extends from an upper edge of said rib to said top end surface, wherein a ratio of a minimum thickness of each of said lateral veneer layers to said minimum total width of said armrest is at least 0.1.
