Hello everyone

I am currently planning my kitchen using the Ikea online planner, but unfortunately, I cannot select the Numerär Oak countertop. The planner offers Numerär Beech and Birch, but Oak is missing. Does anyone know why?

Best regards

This is because the solid Numerär oak board is no longer available. It is now only offered as a semi-solid version and is called Akerby (with a Swedish Å at the beginning – my keyboard currently refuses to type this character).

It is already integrated in the planner! However, yesterday it could not be displayed correctly yet – it should work properly in a few days.

Thank you for the response! Akerby is known by the online planner.
Are there any existing experiences regarding how sensitive this "semi-solid" board is?
I believe that among the solid wood panels, the Numerär oak was the least sensitive. So why was it taken off the market?
Best regards,

I can't give you a definite answer – I assume that the fully solid version was no longer affordable. The new version is also cheaper. Unfortunately, there are no experience-based data on durability yet, as it has not been built yet, but it is already being sold. I have not seen it "in person" either.
