Default Veneering question

Ok - Im making this big "chunky" coffee table - looks like 2 rectangles
offset from one another. Its a pretty neat design - Ill post pics when im
done. Anyways - the client wants mahogany buy doesnt like the price. I
suggested we can use mahogany laminate (I picked some up on ebay) over MDF -
she liked the color of the mahogany and we agreed on the price.

So far Ive only used it on a top - I usually trim out MDF w/ someother
hardwood - them veneer the top w. the mahogany then route the edge.
W/ this peice - the sides and top will be veneered. Do I do the sides first
then the top? Im assuming this would be the best way b/c it would leave
less edge for someone to catch an pull down.
Just curious b4 I start.

Thanks,
Rob
