I was thinking of getting a simple tabletop (like Vika Amon from Ikea) and mounting it with brackets on a concrete wall, but I would need to cut it so that the depth becomes 40cm. I would need tips on how to cut it. I haven't touched a saw since woodshop class in school, so I'm not overly comfortable with things like these.
The question is whether it's a good idea to cut one like that?
Product description
Top: Fiberboard, Pattern printed and embossed acrylic paint
Frame: Particleboard, ABS plastic
Filling material: Paper
Bottom: Fiberboard
Isn't there a similar board in the right depth so you can skip that step?
Otherwise, a circular saw with a guide is probably the easiest way to cut one like that.

I agree with Blindnit, it's doubtful if I would cut a board that is built with cavities filled with paper. It might lose stability and it becomes tricky with strength and fastening to the wall on brackets.
Use a countertop instead that is solid, let the builder cut it the way you want it unless you need an excuse to buy a circular saw
because otherwise, that's the simplest solution I think.

The format is a bit odd, I've had huge trouble finding something that fits. Going to a hardware store might be the solution. Any tips on some? It would be great if I could get it in black lacquer.

Countertops are usually chipboard with some foil or laminate unless it's solid wood; there shouldn't be any problem finding brackets that can support it. I believe it holds up better than the hollow one you were considering before. Any hardware store can sort that out, Beijer, Bauhaus, Byggmax, etc., etc.
Awesome, thanks for the help.
