Steam Machine Faceplate - Sticker or Real Wood | Real Hardwood Front Panel Cover | Purpleheart Walnut

Give your Steam Machine a face only a tree could make. Each faceplate is milled from a solid slab of real exotic hardwood — no veneers, no stickers, no two ever alike.
Valve built the Steam Machine with a magnetic, tool-free front panel, and this is a direct drop-in replacement for it. It seats onto the four corner magnets and pulls itself home with that satisfying thock — no screws, no clips, no adhesive. Swap it in seconds whenever the mood (or the room) changes.
Unlike printed or veneer-wrapped panels, these are cut from genuine hardwood and hand-finished, so the grain, figure, and color are one-of-a-kind to your piece. Choose from a curated lineup of statement woods — from the deep chocolate of Wenge to the electric violet of Purpleheart.

What's included

1× solid hardwood Steam Machine faceplate in your chosen species
Finished and ready to mount — just lift off the stock plate and set this one in place

Care

Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth. A drop of furniture oil or wax once or twice a year keeps the grain rich. Keep it out of standing moisture.
Made to order

Each plate is cut and finished by hand after you order. Because wood is natural, the exact figure of your piece will vary from the photos — that's the point.
