Formica White(949) 4' x 8' Matte Finish

I used this to laminate a tablesaw outfeed/assembly table. The laminate laid down easily and laminated to the MDF table with no issues.

My computer desk was showing major signs of wear—scratches, scuffs, and a big spot where using a mouse had removed and dulled the finish. I was going to refinish the wood, but figured the same thing would happen in a year's time. So, I went to Lowes to see about getting a laminate to cover the damage. They didn't have anything in stock, but I found samples I liked and would order it online. When I went to their website, the laminate I wanted was out of stock. After waiting a couple months, it was evident that Lowes would never restock the material. I never thought I'd find laminate on Amazon, but I typed in a few key words and found many styles and patterns of Formica. I was struggling between two colors, and eventually ordered the Prestige Walnut. I was a little hesitant, but was surprised when my order arrived in perfect shape a few days early. The Formica was a gorgeous color, matching my desk perfectly. All I needed was a couple days and a can of contact cement, and my desk looks like new—actually, better than new. Thanks Amazon. I'll be checking here first before looking elsewhere for almost anything.

I bought this to cover the top of a beaten-up desk, that was damaged beyond recovery. The pattern is beautiful and the material arrived in excellent shape. This was my first experience with Formica and cutting the material was harder than I thought - Aviator snips caused chipping, the dremel cutting wheels broke at an alarming rate. I ended up improvising a router with a rotozip, two clamps, and a long piece of trim. This resolved the issue. No problem gluing the material to the table top with contact adhesive (I used the spray type). I finished the edges of the Formica with a hand-held sander and decided to use wood veneer for the desk top edges since the rest of the desk was still in good shape and I could match the stain. I am very pleased with the results, I am looking for some projects to use the rest of the sheet.

I have bought sheet laminate before of this style and color from one of the big box stores. It was a major competitor brand. It had a nicer matte texture and was not as shiny. In addition, it was scratched on one trailing edge. Fortunately, the difference will not be that obvious as this is a standalone piece.

Please

Product arrived damaged out of the package. Waiting on a replacement. If the replacement arrives quickly and undamaged i will be happy to change the review

Ive been a cabinet maker for 36 yrs, so ive fair amt of experience with these products. In the plastic laminate world there are typically 3 thicknesses to be aware of. Postforming..very thin to be heated and wrap a curve..vertical grade..little thicker used mainly for non horizontal surfaces and standard grade...made for horizontal surfaces...its about 1/16th thick. This description doesnt say what your getting so just a heads up..its standard grade..the thickest one. Not an issue at all...just a heads up. I received my sheet way faster than the date given..like 5 days quicker...in excellent condition and cheaper than my usual nearby supplier. Will definitely be ordering again from these guys. Thank you very much

Used this to top a 2x4 workbench, and it is exactly what I wanted. Doesn't allow glue or other adhesives to stick, and it allows material to slide easily over the top. Super easy to apply with some contact cement, also.
