“After some trials and errors, we came up with the solution. A core of particleboard and a layer of solid wood on the outside – or thick veneer,” says Johnny. “It’s a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing methods. Paper-thin veneer has been used in fine, decorative furniture making for centuries, but for our worktops we’re using a much thicker layer of wood.” The thick veneer makes the surface hardwearing, and it saves raw material – a lot of it. From the same amount of wood needed to make one solid worktop, it’s possible to produce five thick veneer worktops.

The worktop is made of particle board covered with a top layer of solid wood. This method allows us to use less wood in production.
You can cut the countertop to the length you want and cover the edges with the 2 included edging strips.
Countertop with a thick walnut veneer, a durable natural material that can be sanded and surface treated when required.
Layer construction adds stability and makes the countertop less sensitive to humidity, thus, less likely to bend, split or crack than solid wood.

Good to know
Walnut is a straight-grained hardwood with good stability and strength properties. It gets lighter as it ages – from the dark brown to a rich honey color that appears through the grain.
Not suitable for use in damp rooms.
Please note that the actual colors of our products may vary slightly from the colors shown online.
Not suitable for outdoor use.
Every worktop is unique, with varying grain pattern and natural color shifts that are part of the charm of wood.
Materials and care
Material
- Top/ Edge:
- Thick walnut veneer, Oil-acrylic
- Back side:
- Laminate
- Main parts:
- Particleboard
Care
Areas where the countertop may dry out, such as edges and areas around the sink and cooktop, 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.
Safety and compliance
Supporting legs are required when an overhang exceeds 10". The maximum distance between these legs should not be more than 32".

Poor design and qualityBennettWe bought these countertops a few years ago and really liked them initially. Unfortunately, the edging began peeling off within months. We are now trying to fix the edging, but we were told the store doesn’t sell them as a replacement part and the only option is to purchase the countertops again.
Great CountertopChristopherI design custom cabinets and exclusively purchase countertops from IKEA for the pantries I build.
DeskMichaelReally pleased with this design.
Scratches easilyCaitWe installed this and it looks really nice but within a couple days, it has multiple scratches and we have been very careful. It is incredibly soft
Nice but misleading.JakeI purchased a couple of these countertops to frame in an island. I was going to install the counter on top and then bring them down the sides (like the picture on Ikea's website). However, come to find out the bottom of the countertop is not finished so I was unable to bring the counter down the sides, as you would see the unfinished bottom going along the side of the cabinets.
BobbyRobertGreat deal fits perfect not sure about sealing it
Perfect!MichelleThis countertop was exactly what I was looking for but couldn't find at any local hardware stores. It's beautiful & sturdy & looks amazing
Very Nice!JannaI'm using this as a desk top and it is perfect!
Perfect!DebraWe used this for the top of our stairs dividing the gameroom/craftroom over looking the staircase.
It is beautiful! Easy maintenance and great durability.
We also used it in our pantry to put our coffee pot, Ninja toaster and Ninja blender on. Everything wipes up easily and the wood looks amazing in there.
Looks greatTaraLooks great
Simple solutionJenniferI used this table top to build a table and shelf in my laundry room. It worked really well, and it looks great.
The ash color is still a yellow pineAnonymous reviewerI for the ash (light wood) color thinking it would have gray tones as the color name suggests, but upon pickup the wood is a light yellow like pine. It feels pretty rough compared to a Karlby top I have for my desk. It feels like unfinished wood. The edging strips are even rougher like they really need to be sanded down.
Makes a great desktop!DavidI chose the Walnut Pinnarp rather than the over-promoted Karlby countertop for my office desk setup. So glad I did. Love the unique look, and along with two Alex desk drawers, this combo is proving durable, highly functional, and beautiful. I did add one leg to the center-back of the Pinnarp to ensure there was no warpage. All good so far. Great office setup!
Good productPatGood product
CountertopChristopherLooks great and if you do have and accident on it or a pen mark you can sand it down to get the mark out.
Great counters!KellyI was hesitant to purchase these because they are veneer. They are great. No one can tell. Looks really nice. Definitely solid.
Countertop for a deskTimothyUsed the countertop for a desk and it looks great and very good quality.
Amazing weight and solid feelDevonUsed for desk and added adils legs and drawer for side support, plenty of room for everything and i have two monitors and a desk top
Nice top - ugly bottomAnonymousInspired by the image gallery we decided to build a small kitchen island with the pinnarp. It’s a nice, light tone wood laminate. Has a similar look to bamboo. What we didn’t know until we got home to start the project was the bottom of this countertop is a brown paper layer. So if you’re doing an island with Gloss White panels, the brown is really noticeable. So much that we decided to paint the paper white. The adhesive backed laminate bands that are included are very brittle. The directions say to sand the overlap down to the countertop edge. Takes forever to do clean. Anything more aggressive than 100grit will chip the edge. I was hoping the laminate would be a bit thicker. Looks about 1/16” thick. 98% particle board. It gummed my dewalt blade after 2 angled cuts. Keep an extra blade on hand just in case.
So pretty!!HeatherWe used this to top base cabinets for built ins. It is such a beautiful counter top!! Looks very high end! Very pleased!

Better countertops with fewer trees
At IKEA we have a tradition of trying to utilize materials in the best possible way. For our countertops in thick veneer it means that we combine old craftsmanship with modern manufacturing methods. It makes the countertops easier to install, more stable and more resistant to humidity compared to solid countertops. And since we use the whole tree – even the crooked branches and the small twigs – we can save natural resources too.
Story
Better worktops by using wood smartly
Wood is a precious natural resource. Even though it’s a renewable material it needs to be handled responsibly. One way to do it, is to use the wood more efficiently. That’s what we do with our kitchen worktops in thick wood veneer.
“At IKEA we have a tradition of trying to utilize the materials we have in the best possible way,” says Johnny Rietz, who’s been involved in developing the kitchen worktops in thick veneer. The work started in 2008 when IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad, visited one of our suppliers and asked a simple question that took some time to answer: ‘How can we make this product using fewer trees?’
Less is more
No wood is wasted
Another advantage with this production technique is that you can use the whole tree; the stem as surface, and scrap bits – curvy, bent branches and small twigs – for the particleboard on the inside. The end result is a worktop that is every bit as genuine as solid wood, only more stable and more resistant to humidity. “Sometimes a small, harmless question can make a big difference. That’s exactly what happened with our kitchen worktops. It started as a challenge to use resources wiser, and proved to have positive effects not only for the environment, but also the quality. I think it’s great when that happens!” says Johnny.
Material
What is veneer?
A veneer is a thin wooden sheet attached to things like particleboard 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.
Quality
Built and tested to last
We believe that our kitchen countertops should meet your highest demands when it comes to design and performance, without compromise. That’s why we test our countertops, and put them up against the everyday challenges they’ll face in your kitchen: liquids, oil, food, steam, heat, bumps and scratches. When they’ve passed our testing, we know they’ll last, and we guarantee it with our 25 year limited warranty.
