Ok so far! We haven’t used the knives but the set is great and all pieces and parts arrived quickly. The cutting board was a nice surprise. The only things that could be improved are the handles look a little cheap and plastic. And the block that holds all the knives isn’t in super great condition. Hoping we can oil it and make it look better. All in all a good set, can’t wait to see how they hold up over time.. Shelley. Ponce Inlet, FL. 2020-12-01 10:50:59

Butcher block is a sleek slab consisting of individual wooden strips fused together, it looks cool and catchy and it’s a timeless idea for kitchen countertops. Does it fit your kitchen? Let’s take a look at some pros and cons to find it out.

Pros

Butcher block is very affordable, it’s less expensive and allows a DIY installation, which will save you even more money. It costs less than popular stainless steel, concrete, marble, soapstone or limestone, so it’s a good idea for a tight budget.

The butcher block has different varieties and looks, you can pick your own hardwood and grain. You may customize the hue and pattern to perfectly match your own kitchen highlighting its personality.

Butcher block’s maintenance isn’t a hard job: for everyday cleaning, scrape off food debris with a plastic spatula, then use a dish sponge saturated in a solution of two cups warm water and one teaspoon dish soap to wipe away the residue. Vinegar works great as a stand-in for soap and water. To banish a stain, sprinkle table salt over the stain, then gently rub it with half of a lemon to remove it. Every 10 years, or as needed when stains grow numerous, use sandpaper to sand away the old sealant. Re-oil the sanded surface to make it look like new. Butcher block can last for 20 years and longer if you follow the maintenance tips and install it right.

Cons

Butcher block is ultra-sensitive to liquid. Wood can gather germs, grow mold, stain, or even warp in shape when exposed to moisture. To counteract these unwanted effects, you’ll need to seal your butcher block countertops immediately after the installation. You may also reseal the countertops every month in case you need that. Butcher block countertops ding easily, they are vulnerable to scratches and dents.

Butcher block expands or contracts as the temperature fluctuates: by roughly one-eighth of an inch in summer and contract by the same amount in the winter. Leave enough room for that otherwise you’ll get cracks. Take a look at various examples below and decide if you want these countertops or not!
