Another way to go, if you decide to get into veneer, is to inset a veneered top (1/2” ply or mdf) into a rabbit. The rabbit is made prior to assembly and I make it so the rabbit is a bit deeper than the thickness of the veneered top (this leave the side a bit proud to plane flush after glue up. You can then hide the “seam” with stringing or banding inlay.

I’ll just note that veneering (especially small box tops) doesn’t take much. I use Titebond cold press glue, a couple of 3/4” cauls, a couple sheets of wax paper, and some clamps. Once you do it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner...and it allows you to use some pretty nice wood without the price of full size stock.
