Looks like it could be walnut, just clear-coated, no stain.

Thanks! Do you know what kind of clear-coating product might allow the wood to stay so light? We've been trying out a few finishes on black walnut, and obviously the oils darken it right up. Do you mean this is likely a water-based poly?

It looks like walnut to me as well. Matte topcoat.

Oil will darken the wood. If this counter gets wet I would use a catalyzed varnish (on both sides) for maximum protection. Catalyzed varnish needs to be sprayed, so you might want to hire this out.

HI -- The photo looks like it is just to feature the sink and the counter used looks like walnut wood and it is just for looks and not for practical use .

I think Sophie and Isabella could be onto something...

But, you can still do a wood counter if you choose as long as it is sealed properly and not abused. We have a walnut counter in our kitchen, but it is in more of a butler's pantry area and never gets wet.

I second Sophie and Isabella, definitely a laminate countertop. Very common in Europe.

Boy if that's laminate, sign me up! It's beautiful!

If it's plastic laminate where's the obligatory black phenolic line along the front edge? Post formed with a radius that tight? Maybe.

Ideal Edge system.

It's pretty whatever it is. Sometimes I miss Formica. No worries about stains, water marks, damage of any kind to such an expensive surface. Sigh!!!

I agree it looks like a rendering not an actual photo.
