This is well constructed and a very nice butcher block.

Its unfinished state offers the freedom to customize the finish to suit your specific needs and aesthetic preferences.I have a project in mind for creating a gaming/board game board for us during the winter months when it is too cold to go outside. I wanted a thick solid wood that was a clean slate so that I can finish to my own preference. This was the one I settled on, plenty large enough that I can even use one side for puzzles/putting puzzles together and customize the other side with a family fun personalized checker board.Its dimensions are practical for a range of applications, fitting seamlessly into various spaces. Included photos for size reference against standard kitchen cabinets. If looking to use as a cutting block or countertop you can see it will fit without a lot of overhang. Durable and attractive with a smooth, natural grain that will look great with whatever finish or stains you choose.Keep in mind if considering this the unfinished state requires some additional effort and DIY efforts. It is not ready and pre-finished this one is a blank slate ready for your own personal touches and finishes.

I love the light color wood, it's 100% birch wood it's very heavy great addition to my kitchen I'm using mine as a cover on my stove this is a good investment great deal

Correct size and unblemishedz

Finished this to a smooth finish and working well as a small countertop over our dishwasher now. True to ordered size.

Great, just as I ordered. Don't forget to seal it as instructed.

I noticed how dense it is - it weighs over 20 lbs. I took out my measuring tape and confirmed that its dimensions are close to 25 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick, which is almost right for the space I had in mind. As I unwrapped it, I saw that it is made of finger-jointed slats. It has a handcrafted look. One side has a more rustic appearance. After unwrapping it, I realized I needed to apply a protective coating. I spent the afternoon carefully applying two layers of coating so the surface would hold up well over time. Now, it feels like I’ve made it mine and it looks even better.

It isn't only doing this one the one end. I cut the other end to length and have started pressing wood filler into the cracks before I realized they were across almost every single glued line and in most cases the entire length on and off on the piece so figure cannot return since I started working on it. I cut off one end using the table saw to length I need and in less than a week both ends and the field are delaminated all the way through the piece even though it was sitting on a flat surface the entire time waiting for me to open and use. I wish I had noticed how bad it was delaminated and started filling what I thought were just a couple short cracks before I noticed how extreme the issue was. I should have paid attention to the other terrible reviews about delamination and not bought this one or the one I tried to cancel I ordered subsequently before I unboxed this one that amazon's third party customer service in a foreign country cannot cancel or reroute back to the amazon warehouse so instead I have to go through the hassel of doing a return on the second order and hauling it to a ups store to send back costing me more time and money because the product is complete trash. Do not buy this terrible quality item.
