At a Swedish furniture store, you can also get 40mm /63.5 cm oak panels made to measure, I even believe with cutouts. I'm not sure anymore but they were under 200€/m
Do you think you can say in the kitchen studio that you are buying the entire kitchen except for the countertop, and then buy the countertop separately.
Depends on the studio. Ours would do it, for example (stone slab), but would then want to be paid accordingly for installation (if through the studio). Just ask, maybe the price will suddenly change...

Sure you can. You can also buy the kitchen without electrical appliances. You just have to install them yourself or have them installed for a fee. The alternative for the kitchen studio is that they have one less customer ;-)
Sure you can! But not every studio does it, partly because this always carries the risk that, in this case for example, the countertop doesn't fit after all and then the kitchen studio has the trouble. But you can certainly ask, although you always have to see how much you really save in the end. But €3,500 is quite a steep price, I would say.
