German term or phrase: Aufdoppelungen
Hiya! This is for a rush job - its part of a piece of furniture (a sideboard or dresser, i believe) - Here's the description:

Anrichte, Kirschbaum furniert,
Aufdoppelungen Massivholz, Abdeckplatte durchgehend incl. Fernsehdrehbühne.

Many thanks for any help!

Thanks to all, i ended up using this answer as it seemed to fit. I wish I had had pictures for some of those items, it would have been a lot more helpful than trying to imagine what on earth some of those descriptions meant! Many thanks to you guys for rushing to my rescue in my time of need!
