What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the John Boos Maple Kitchen Countertop for its stunning aesthetic and premium feel. The beautiful grain and substantial 1.5-inch thickness instantly elevate kitchen spaces. Its durability and solid construction are frequently highlighted, justifying the investment for a long-term solution. While the precise dimensions allow for easy customization, consistent maintenance is crucial. Prompt and ongoing oiling is essential to preserve the maple's beauty and prevent issues like drying or warping. Despite minor initial imperfections, the overall satisfaction with the finished product, once properly cared for, makes this a highly recommended premium butcher block choice for its lasting beauty and functionality.
Know before you buy
The Natural Oil finish requires regular maintenance with food-grade mineral oil and is ideal if you plan to use the countertop directly for food preparation. The Varnique finish is a semi-gloss, sealed coating that is virtually maintenance-free and moisture-resistant, but it is not intended for direct knife use.
Yes, if you select the Natural Oil finish, the hard rock maple is durable enough for daily chopping and food prep. If you choose the Varnique finish, you should use a separate cutting board to avoid scratching or damaging the sealed surface.
To maintain the integrity of the wood, keep the countertop away from direct heat sources and avoid excessive moisture. If you choose the oil finish, apply John Boos Mystery Oil or Board Cream regularly to keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking.
Absolutely. The edge grain construction uses continuous rails of hard rock maple, which provides excellent structural stability and high impact resistance, making it perfect for heavy-duty kitchen environments.
No, these countertops are shipped as solid, unfinished slabs. You will need to drill your own mounting holes and perform any necessary trimming during installation to ensure a perfect fit for your specific cabinetry.
Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. Never submerge the wood in water or use a dishwasher, as this will cause the maple to swell, crack, or warp.
