         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the number of attachment components are latches. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the number of attachment components are screws. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the number of attachment components are spikes. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the countertop panels are comprised of a of a foam core at least partly covered by a laminate layer. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the number of structure connections are hollowed cubic structures with a connection port on at least one side. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the veneer panels are further comprised of snap-fit connectors configured to snap into the brackets. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the veneer panels, countertop panels and drawer panels have cut-lines on their bottom surfaces. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the countertop panels are configured to attach to the brackets through a hook and latch connector system. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each bracket of the framework of brackets is a specified distance long and on a one end and a second end has a connector that is configured to link with itself. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , the system further comprising:
 the countertop panel is composed of a foam core at least partly covered by a laminate layer;   a plurality of interconnection receptacles embedded within the foam core; and   a plurality of cut-line indications on a bottom surface of the countertop panel at positions that correspond to the plurality of interconnection receptacles embedded within the foam core,   wherein cutting of the countertop panel along any of the plurality of cut-line indications exposes at least one of the plurality of interconnection receptacles.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the foam core covers the laminate layer a top side of the countertop panel. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of cut-line indications include 30, 45, and 90 degree cut-line indications. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of 45 and 90 degree cut-line indications are surface indicia. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of 45 and 90 degree cut-line indications are mechanical surface grooves that at least partially guide a saw. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the countertop panel includes one or more mounting apertures on the bottom surface of the countertop panel at positions that correspond to the plurality of 45 and 90 degree cut-line indications, the one or more mounting apertures being configured to secure a saw guide or rip fence therein. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a rip fence or saw guide configured to mount at one or more positions on the bottom surface of the countertop panel to guide a saw.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the countertop panel includes one or more protrusions on at least one uncut end to interconnect with at least one receptacle element of a second countertop section, endcap, or sidesplash. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the countertop panel includes one or more receptacles on at least one uncut end to receive the one or more second magnetic elements to magnetically interconnect with a second countertop section, the at least one endcap, or the at least one sidesplash. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one first magnetic element is insertable within at least one of the plurality of interconnection receptacles or one or more receptacles at an uncut end of the countertop panel to magnetically couple with a second countertop section, the at least one endcap, or the at least one sidesplash.
