Oh I see ? I’ll get the company to do that also ! . Presume just 2 recessed hooks near the top is sufficient?

Yep - one each corner 

 

then use a blob of silicone under each bottom corner to stop it moving

I’m actually quite excited by this . Although the designer version had ‘ click for pricing ‘ - we know it would of been ridiculously expensive. So to have made something very similar for ( I guess ) a few hundred quid is awesome ! . The practicality of recessed flipable hooks is largely pointless as coats will always be hanging on them ?

So presumably I cut the plaster back to the osb and mount them recessed ?

Work better with the plate mounted on the item and screw in the wall, although I can’t see and reason why you can’t do it other way a round, just be aware which way up the slot needs to be.

Got a rough price for the timber and machining ( 160cm x 50cm ) at around £220 + vat . Notice on the quote they’ve put walnut mdf veneer ?

Quickly looked at their website “ real “ walnut will be maybe 400 before machining !!! Ouch ! . Will anyone be able to tell the difference? . Also weight wise ; is real walnut going to be considerably heavier ??

Yeah , I did think of things like that .

Walnut MDF veneer is real walnut on a very stable base. Are they edging it for you too..?

[markc]

I’ve just done a kitchen in solid oak worktops. To buy new would have been around £2K

bought used off eBay, had to do some repair and jointing but worked out very well … cost £150.00 plus a few hours extra time

Yes they can do . Is “ real “ walnut worth the extra cost ?? . Will it look different/ feel different??

Veneered is real walnut so looks the same, just doesn’t crack or warp like solid timber can … does! Bloody overpriced, pain in the arse table that was.

Think I'll go for the veneer . Cheaper; also at the width I want they would have to biscuit join 3 pieces.

Rather than 36 quid each. I found some quite nice ones for 7 quid each ?

Coat hooks still give me the shivers 43 years on.

How does veneered MDF do underwater then?

When I stand out in the cold, my testes get a walnut veneer.

The cheaper hooks turned up. Seem pretty decent. The 'lip' around them is maybe half a mm. So it's just as well I'm getting the walnut supplier to cut the holes accurately!
