Know before you buy
Yes, the 4-inch thick end-grain cherry top is designed as a professional-grade cutting surface. It is knife-friendly and safe for direct food contact, provided you maintain it regularly with food-safe mineral oil.
The storage capacity depends on the size you choose. The 30-inch model features one dovetailed drawer, while the 48-inch model includes two. Both sizes feature an open shelf at the base for additional kitchen essentials.
Yes, cherry wood is known for its natural aging process. When exposed to light, the wood will gradually darken and develop a richer, deeper patina over the years.
Yes, some assembly is required upon delivery. The unit arrives with the base components separate from the heavy butcher block top, so you will need to assemble the frame and attach the top.
No, this model is designed as a traditional butcher block table and does not offer an overhang for seating. It is intended primarily as a dedicated workspace or prep station.
To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should apply a food-safe mineral oil or Boos Block Mystery Oil regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the wood in water to preserve the integrity of the end-grain construction.
