Customer Reviews for HARDWOOD REFLECTIONS 8 ft. L x 25 in. D x 1.5 in T Unfinished Birch Solid Wood Butcher Block Standard Countertop with Eased Edge

We ordered two of the butcher blocks, one was a larger size. They were both in great shape upon pick up at the store sanded well and stained great! They turned out beautiful and exactly what we wanted!

I purchased this for a stop n drop area in my new place. This block is beautiful once stained and clear coated!

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

Butcher block made ideal counter top for utility sink in laundry room remodel project

Good quality, fair price, needs to be fine sanded, accepts stain well.

Love the look of this Birch!

We loved this butcher block and finished it as per instructions. However, after staining and upon polyurethaning it, the surface became riddled with white splotches. A chemical reaction that destroyed the finish? Beyond disappointed

Put this over my washer/dryer and lucky enough that it fix the space exactly. It's gorgeous, thick, heavy and gave new life to my old beat-up washer/dryer. Note that you MUST finish the piece with a day or so of taking off the plastic. I wasn't prepared for that, so had to run out quickly to get stain and do it on a work night instead of waiting until Saturday when I had more time.

Looks nice after sanding and staining with a clear coat

I used this to add a new top to my workbench. It was the perfect size and looks great!

Created an indoor bench "hearth" with the birch. The "good" side had a couple of slits of pith I needed to clean out and fill, but still looked great. Sanded through 320 grit. Many coats of DIY wiping poly applied, and it's beautiful.

This is now the third board I've received (and returned) from Hardwood Reflections. All have been terrible quality. I wish I could attach more than six pictures to show how poor quality the products that this company makes are.

Beautiful, very well packaged and looks fantastic in my farmhouse kitchen

I looked at this butcher block at another box hardware store and it was $150 more than Home Depot. The quality of this block was amazing. It sanded well, stained and varnished and looks great. We are using it as a coffee bar at our church. I would highly recommend.

Great used this as counters for my laundry remodel light sanding stain and polyurethane.love the results

No complaints. various stains (note wood sanded but not conditioned prior to stains), A: Hickory, B: Jaco bean, C: Expresso, D: Dark walnut, E: Provincial F: Fruitwood, G: Mixture of weathered gray + F + E + C (note majority was F to dilute/serve as base)

Exactly what I was looking for! Beautiful block of wood; thick, solid, sturdy. Put clear finish on it and used it for a desk.

Excellent!!

It was true to its description. Came when it said it would and made a beautiful vanity top.

Unfortunately, this company’s YT videos are misleading. I selected the best looking slab available at the store, from about 12. Once opened at home, it was upsetting to see the poor quality. It is not all solid-wood butcher block.

Beautiful and versatile, can be treated with any finish that you like. Easy to work with and easy to coordinate with existing decor.

I recently purchased this butcher block to use as a desk top. It's a nice solid piece and structurally, should work exactly what I need it for. As for the appearance, I'm left disappointed. After finishing I noticed a few sections of wood filler that I couldn't see before. For over 200 bucks for this piece, I'd expect better methods of quality control from the mfg. Beware that if you are using this stuff for a big countertop project that this exists.

I picked this up today 8/11/2021, it was still strapped to the shipping Pallet and the HD employees did an awesome job of assisting me obtain one. I am using this for a 3 inch workbench top. The bottom will be 1 1/2 yellow pine. Got it home checked it out no dents great shape, actual size is isn74 x 25 x 1 1/2, dead on demensions, the package also lists this size. It is also flat in every direction. The corners and edges were well protected also. Both sides are finished flat and square to the edges. All the glue ups/lamination are straight with no voids, which produces a this solid piece of wood which is very heavy. I have removed the plastic protective covering and will do an update after it acclimates in my shop. Looks awesome. I looked into where the wood.is from and it looks like it is actually from Finland.

Love it! I used it to make a computer desk for my workstation and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Was super easy just gave it a rub down with some Tung oil and got some steel legs from home depot as well. 10/10 for looks and sturdiness

Look for dents etc. Pick a good one , USE TUNG OIL. Beautiful new counter/breakfast bar

The butcherblock counter tops were easy to stain and finish. They were easy to fit together. The only issue I have is they are not sanded completely flat. There are definitely small waves in the wood. It isn't noticeable when they are finished. They look great.

It turned out beautifully and easy to finish.

I wanted to open up my kitchen so that I could used both side of the counter, so I took out two walls and put a 3 drawer unit against the part wall I left. I purchased my butchers block instore as I wanted to make sure there were no dings or dents on it. I needed help moving it as it's a heavy item. I've found it quite easy to work with and it cuts and Sands great. My project is not finished yet and I can't wait to get some oil on it to see the finish article.
