English translation:pine, laminated with wood-panelling-style grooved pine
Explanation:
You need to take the phrase as a whole.

Normally, one would probably say 'veneered', but in order for it to be grooved in such a way as to resemble wood panelling, I think it would have to be quite a thick appliqué layer, and so 'veneer' doesn't seem appropriate; I think 'laminated' works better in this particular case.

agree  chris collister: Yes, there might be a missing comma, in which case the second pin is redundant: "grooved pine panelling"?

  -> Thx, Chris! Usual trade descriptions prob: how to describe it as 'grooved to make it look like pine panelling' (but it isn't actually panelled)?
