Formica is a large multinational company who developed the product "laminex". Which is now a commonplace product used in most domestic kitchen refits. The term formica has become a generic name for all benchtop laminate materials. Several companies make these laminates including Formica, Wilson Arts, Duropal and several others. They are all good and of similar quality.

The best way to buy these products is from a kitchen refit company. You probably need to buy some "Ebony Star" laminate which is a Wilson Art laminate for the bottom of the rocker box for smooth azimuth motion and it is a decorative product also suitable for using on the upper cage assembly (UCA). Hence there would be some economies in using ebony star for both the rocker box and UCA.
