basisafwerking

Ik neem aan dat ze bedoelen dat de afwerking van de baskasten niet geschikt is om ze in het zicht te plaatsen (itt de witte afwerking van de andere kasten). Dit is een korte manier om dat uit te drukken.

vernis met dekkende satijnglans

I'm absolutely sure that the finish is "vernis".

Utility finish: "Easily create a beautiful food-safe finish on wood utility ware such as bowls, butcher blocks and utensils.Heat-treated walnut oil Utility Finish hardens to a beautiful satin finish.Follow with Oil Wax Finish for a satin sheen. Made from beeswax, carnauba wax and walnut oil."

I could not find any terms in Dutch that mean exactly the same, so I can only advise you to describe the term as I did.

neutral Harry Borsje : Deze utility finish is een 'afwerking voor gebruiksvoorwerpen' (GEEN vernis - het is nl. samengesteld uit was en olie).
