The worktop is made of particle board covered with a top layer of veneer. This method allows us to use less wood in production.

Worktop with a thick walnut veneer, a hardwearing natural material that can be sanded and surface treated when required.

Walnut is a straight-grained hardwood with good stability and strength. It gets lighter as it ages – from the dark brown to a rich honey colour that appears through the grain.

Every worktop is unique, with varying grain pattern and natural colour shifts that are part of the charm of wood.

For quick installation and easy maintenance the worktop is pre-treated with hard wax oil.

The worktop has a chevron design that gives it a sophisticated look that supports all kitchen styles.

You can cut the worktop to the length you want and cover the edges with the included edging strip.

• What is veneer?A veneer is a thin wooden sheet fixed on things like particleboards to add a durable surface and a natural wood look – so we enjoy the many benefits of wood without using solid wood. The most common veneer types are birch, ash, oak and beech and we've made a special UV lacquer that helps preserve the wood's natural structure. A benefit with a slightly thicker veneer is how you can repair and sand the surface if it's damaged to give furniture a longer and more beautiful life.

• Top/ Edge: Thick walnut veneer, Oil-acrylic
• Backside: Laminate
• Basematerial: Particleboard

• Do not place a toaster, coffee maker, kettle or other kitchen appliances that emit heat directly over a seam between two worktops because the heat can damage the seam.
• Areas where the worktop may dry out, such as edges and areas around the sink and hob, require frequent treatment.
• The worktop surface is pre-treated at the factory with hard wax oil. Due to the nature of the material, treat the edges and cut-outs with wood treatment oil, prior to installation.
• To ensure that your worktop ages gracefully, treat it regularly with wood treatment oil; it gives the surface a beautiful sheen, protects the wood and prolongs the life of the worktop.
• Even though thick veneer is a durable material you should never place hot pots or pans directly on the worktop without a trivet or pot stand.
• Never use a steel scourer, scourer pad, souring agent or similar products as they can scratch the surface.
• Worktops in laminate or thick veneer that are installed above a dishwasher or oven shall be protected on the underside with FENSJÖ diffusion barrier.
