Split three months after install
I can't recommend this countertop because it split on a factory glued joint within three months of installing. The countertop is not glued down, so it has space to expand. The edge is a factory edge (I didn't cut it). I sealed the countertop within a couple hours of opening the plastic, and I put several coats of finish on it. We don't put wet things or exceptionally hot/cold things on it. I can't imagine a way that this isn't a flaw in the product.

    Burch butcher board!
    When I came home to see it, it looked beautiful!!! One side was spotted and lots of imperfections, but the other was beautiful and clean and smooth. I used this for a cart I had built. I used a conditioner then a polyura-something clear gloss to coat the top. I wasn't going to use this for food so that's why I coated it. It was very heavy and completely solid. I'd purchase again JUST BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND QUALITY!!! Thank you Home Depot!

      an upgrade from linoleum
      a bit heavy but I was able to lift it onto the truck. I used a 60 tooth Diablo on a circular saw, had a little tear but easy to sand off. block had some divots so I use the reverse side. I did want to do Granite for my parents kitchen renovation but I could not lift that by myself. this Butcher Block was much easier and I do like the choice. do not forget to add mineral oil and conditioner once installed

        A lot of sanding and work
        Got this seeing it was “finish quality” it had a lot of chatter either from planing or sanding at the factory. Did not discover until after first coat of stain should have hit it with acetone first but trusted the product Front edge had sanding stalls Both sides had bark pits although slight they had to be dealt with and sanded Took a lot of 40 grit to get out chatter then about an hour or building up to 220. Was not expecting so much work for the price Final product turned out nice

          A Great New Desktop
          I purchased two of these 6ft birch counter tops for use as a new desktop across a 12ft span. They are resting on Ikea Alex drawer. Overall the tops are solidly built and took the finish well. There are some small knots on the A-side I am not a fan of though. Finish: Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C in Chocolate - single coat application. Sanded from 120 to 180 grit on all sides. Pictures in garage are immediately after application and pictures in the office are 48hrs after application.

            Exactly what I needed for my fireplace mantle. It matched the other butcher block I previously purchased. Shipping was super fast

            Stain Comparison
            This turned out great. I stained the block in a number of samples, hope it helps others! My garage has two sets of lights, so I have examples in both. From left to right, top to bottom (Each square is half one coat, half two coats. Made little difference and I used 3 coats at the end). All stains/poly are Varathane: Golden Oak, Golden Pecan, Untreated, Natural, Ipswich Pine, Danish Oil Light Walnut (Not Varathane. Two coats, half without poly, half with). Poly was crystal clear semi-gloss.

              My wife wanted to cut up my maple butcher block
              So my spouse suggested I cut up a maple butcher block table I have to make a walnut stained vanity top for the bathroom. I saw this in my local HD and decided to try it. Luckily I watched a video on staining birch and stopped to the HD paint department. The paint rep found me some Varathane (8 oz.) Wood Conditioner. I sanded this block with different grit, applied the conditioner, sanded and stained. I am not real happy with the end product as birch stains very blotchy, (pictures below). But the price was good for the product. And saved my maple ...for the time being.

              Beautiful Solid Wood Option
              These cabinets have solid wood doors and faceframes and are very beautiful. We chose solid butcherblock countertops for complete harmony. We also used the all-in-one sink/faucet/drain assembly with grid. We used 2 coats of stain 2 coats of poly for finish and protection.

                Sturdy and beautiful
                I was looking for a bargain laminate countertop. Only ugly ones in stock. Then I spot the Hardwood Reflections birch. It's stunning. Very heavy. I'm so glad I went for it. It's affordable and super durable.

                I was very excited to stumble upon this! Bought the oil for it as well. I’ve only had it for about 3 weeks and there’s a sliver taken out of it. I don’t know why all of a sudden it seems like it’s pealing. I’ve tried to contact to the store via phone and keep getting disconnected. I’ve already glued the top down to create an island so I can’t necessarily return/exchange it. I don’t know how to fix it.

                Perfect laundry cabinet top. Had to cut to fit standard cabinet for my laundry room. Sanded and put 3 coats polyurethane to give shine and it’s perfect!

                looks good.
                It was a bit of work finishing it but looks good when done. I used a sanding sealer instead of conditioner for prep after sanding. Staining end grain is a hit or miss sometimes so I mixed equal parts stain and wipe on poly, I don't recommend polyshades for any thing, and rubbed it into the end grain. I used 3 coats of Varathane water based poly and after several days applied furniture paste was with 0000 steal wool to seal out moisture. On counter tops that get more use I would use oil based poly.

                  Nothing but cracks, holes and gashes.
                  I would not recommend this product. Though it seems to be a solid heavy piece of birch. The "backside" has tons of issues as you can see in photos. I used putty to fill all the gaps and cracks before I used a stain and sealent, But I am still worried that this is going to fall apart at some point. I wish I did not waste $200 on this. But it was too heavy to return to ups.. So I am stuck with it unfortunately.

                    Counter top cupped after a month
                    Started out fine. Sealed all 4 sides, used in kitchen as a prep area for cooking. Within 4 weeks it cupped about an 1/8 of an inch and is now no longer flat. Disappointing but maybe that's the way things are with Home Depot quality. Don't buy it
