Not too shabby. Put some 3/4" ply under that and you should have a
nice rigid top.

This is the one I was thinking of, about 25 x 50 for $89.00, for some reason
I remembered it being more like $50 but apparently that's for the 15" deep
version which is too small for my purposes.

While on that page, select 'oak' and zoom in on it.

Doesn't look like oak to me--looks more like stained rubber wood
or ramin. The beech does look like beech.

After selecting oak the page does claim that it is solid Oak.

product description & measurements
Solid oak, Oil

I would guess that if it wasn't solid oak that they would be sued.
IKEA would make a pretty big target for false claims lawsuits

It doesn't say what KIND of oak.
Oak is a bit like a DOG. just because you recognize one breed doesn't
mean you recognize another. (think Jack Russel vs St Bernard)


So like, if you don't recognize what sort of dog this is:

would you suppose it is some sort of dog you hadn't
seen before?
