Temporary MDF countertop, by Pieter

Create this project yourself with sheet material cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl!

Pieter designed this entirely themselves: from cutlist to finish. Get inspired by the materials used below — and then think about how you would tackle it. We make sure the wood is accurate to the millimetre; the rest is up to you.

Do you also need a temporary solution? Then, just like Pieter, make a countertop from black MDF board material. This MDF board material is moisture-resistant and therefore ideal for making a (temporary) countertop. View the result here!

Description by Pieter

I made a counter top from black moisture-resistant MDF! The material is moisture-resistant and therefore ideal as a temporary countertop.

How I made this project

For a temporary countertop, I had black MDF V313 (moisture-resistant) cut to size. A practical solution that allowed me to focus on the renovation myself. Using a bucket as a temporary sink was a great solution, without adding a lot of costs to this renovation! I finished the top with linseed oil.

Dimensions of my DIY project

You were a godsend at the time, lots of eaters just before Christmas, and no counter top. Three rectangular tops that together formed a U, smeared with linseed oil, the deep black of the MDF stood out beautifully, and with moisture in the kitchen it was still perfectly functional.
