The factory is close to my town, and they have a showroom outlet. I snagged this size for $200 as a cancelled order. I then had a base welded and powder coated, and it looks just like a table from CB2 for a fraction of the price!

I have butcher block, but it's original from when the kitchen was put in. I like the look of it with the white solid wood cabinets.Mearihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080474930910254503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-58870899089523105912015-04-24T06:28:34.655-04:002015-04-24T06:28:34.655-04:00Your counter top looks beautiful.

Two questions: 1. Could they stain it and THEN seal it? I love the seal and I think hearing that this is an option sells it for me. But if they stained it first then you could deepen the color right? Can they do both? 2. This is dumb but do you cut on it? Or do you use a cutting board on top of it? <br /><br />They really look beautiful. Classic and warm. Great choice!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137876216687652538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-16932240154008097472015-04-23T19:08:05.463-04:002015-04-23T19:08:05.463-04:00I really want new laminate on our island - somethi...I really want new laminate on our island - something that has rounded edges. Our laminate held up so well over the years - but it's showing it's age and I don't want the countertops and island not to match.

We do have to touch them up about every 2 years, which isn't bad, but certainly isn't maintenance free. Granted, we are a family of 6 and I pretty much live in the kitchen. I think in our next kitchen we will do solid surface on the main counter tops and a butcher block island like yours :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-11903366670663271742015-04-23T12:11:01.735-04:002015-04-23T12:11:01.735-04:00I LOVE butcher block, when we redid out kitchen la...I LOVE butcher block, when we redid out kitchen last winter, I REAAALLLLLY wanted butcher block, but my husband talked me into granite. Ugh. Don't get me wrong it's fairly indestructible, but I really, really wanted the warmth that butcher block adds. Now I wait for something really bad to happen to the granite so I can replace it with the butcher block. Hmm, maybe an accident with a sledge hammer.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575012092851420730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-67399517120251313682015-04-23T12:07:21.229-04:002015-04-23T12:07:21.229-04:00I love butcher block!I love butcher block!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060397634155849036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-83125140692397852462015-04-23T11:43:02.676-04:002015-04-23T11:43:02.676-04:00Yes, please!
