About This Product

Made of 100% solid wood, Hardwood Reflections Butcher Block products can do it all! With a large assortment of species and sizes, you can add to the rustic feel of a farmhouse kitchen, warm a modern industrial office, or get creative making your own desk, workbench, shelving, end tables...the list goes on! For a truly custom look, these pieces can be cut, joined, machined, or stained to get the exact fit and style you need. A versatile and widely known species, Birch features a light color scheme and a generally uniform, even grain pattern. Each piece has an "A" side that is generally considered the top, with more uniform colors and fewer and smaller knots. The "B" side will be more rustic and is traditionally used as the bottom of the piece, however, either can be used to best match your preferences. No two pieces are identical and factors like lighting and type of finish, along with variations in grain pattern and natural color differences, will add to the unique look of your installation. Please note that while stain is optional, finishing is required! There are multiple options available including mineral oils and polyurethanes, but plan to apply your finish of choice within 48 hours of unwrapping the butcher block.

Highlights

Answer This Question

Bryan-yes. This is very typical. Stain any color. Let it completely dry and add some polyurethane topcoat to lock in the color.

                  Excellent product. Matches the countertops, was not bowed or damaged. Ordered to store for pickup, no issues. Happy with purchase would buy again.

                  This butcher block made a beautiful replacement for the Formica. Beautiful wood at a good price.

                  A Great Looking and Solid Table Top
                  I am very pleased with the three butcher block table tops that I ordered. Two were 60" x 30" and one was 50" x 24". They came well packaged with no damage. After light sanding I finished each with several coats of polycrylic and mounted them on adjustable electric bases for my wife's sewing room. They look great and I am very pleased with the quality!

                    Great Product
                    I ordered a 3' x 3' piece and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Both sides: I sanded, poly, sanded again, poly again. Beautiful

                      Arrived timely and well packaged. The “good” side had no flaws. Sanded, stained, sanded, poly and great!

                      I ordered the Hardwood Reflections butcher block to be used as a countertop for a custom liquor cabinet I built, and was extremely pleased with the quality. Knowing that I would have to cut the piece down to size, I was concerned with how the edges would appear after the cut. After a little sanding, the edges came out nice and smooth. I've received a lot of compliments on the look of the cabinet and butcher block top.

                      Beware of customer service
                      I ordered two of these. One was 4ft and it was beautiful and I love it. It arrived quickly. The other was a 5ft one and the entire process has been awful. It got lost in the mail and came a week late. Then it arrived cracked through the entire thing and completely unusable. Home Depot is requiring me to arrange for a pick up return and will not just ship me a new one and they will not refund me until they have the item. So now I am stuck again without a countertop for who knows how long and having to wait for a refund for 3-5 days after they get this thing back...oh and I am supposed to have this huge thing just sitting in my house while I wait for the pick up which could be days. Completely useless customer service. If I did not already install the other one I would never order items like this from them again. Terrible!

                        Solid butcher block arrived damaged
                        I purchased the 48"x30" butcher block for a shelving project in my garage. Unfortunately it arrived damaged. It arrived packaged well and was delivered without any issues. Unfortunately when I opened it up and inspected it was cracked down the block and all the way through. This made the block not helpful for my project. It was packaged damaged as the outer packaging had no issues. I have no complaints with Home Depot on this order as the chat associate walked me through the return process and reorder. Hoping that the new one does not come damaged too as I really wanted something nice and solid.

                        CJ-on occasion these can get mishandled during shipping. The next one is en route and it should be totally fine. HFAria
