I am repairing the sides/edges of a conventional desk that is plastic laminate covered. Can anyone direct me to a supplier of "formica" type laminate strips? The required strips would measure 1" or 2" wide X 36" or 48" long - walnut/dark walnit finish.
Thank you, Rick

There website shows samples of the patterns available.
You could try your custom cabinet shops for scraps they might be willing to part with.
You could go to a custom cabinet shop and have them order laminate for you.
You could go to Home Depot/Lowes/etc. and have them order some for you. Or you could look in their laminate section and they may have some iron on edge banding in a pattern you could tolerate.

Could be Formica, Wilsonart, Nevamar, Pionite, or an import, Could be one of 50 to 100 different walnut colors. Few cabinet shops use walnut laminate but desk manufacturers us a lot of walnut. The point of all of this is that finding a match will be difficult at best. If there is a label in one of the drawers, usually a top drawer, you may have success in getting a piece to cut into edge banding. The other option would be appling a whole new top ans then edging with the offal
