on my unit the covers were mdf with a coating on it... it was cracked around the edges when i bought the unit.
this irked me so i obtained some 1" butcherblock and used the existing covers as a pattern to cut the block to size. i rounded the edges out with a roundover bit and not only does it look nice, but it is a functional cutting board.
important to note is that the cover is no longer flush with the counter, it now sticks up 1/2 inch.
happy trails!
