Although butcher block countertops provide traditional charm, it may easily get scratches. Hence I prefer granite kitchen countertops. It is because you can use granite in any way. Even if you cut something on granite, it won't damage the surface as it is heat and scratch resistant. I have been using charcoal granite kitchen countertop ( https://stoneclone.ca/resurfacing-colors/ ) at home for the past 20 years. Till date, it looks new. It is easy to maintain.
As done ther, IN... But keep the surface fresh looking and well oiled as protection.
do u really want whatโs in or out? I believe that itโs more important to have what u like, depending on how long u plan to be in ur home. If u r concerned re resale value, then it does matter. If, however, u r in ur forever home as I am (23.5 years and counting) what u like is more important.
I LOVE butcher block and in my book it will always be in style...stone is NOT for everyone. It's too temperater. Butcher block is not.
Personally, I prefer granite countertops. They have great heat retention so they're great for kitchens. Quite low maintenance too.

Hi,
Well the choice is yours, My sister in law had them installed recently, but rues the day, as they have to be oiled constantly to keep them looking nice. For me, I have always gone for a Formica type top as they are so durable and they come in many many finishes. Best wishes.
yes yes yes ,,,, the bes tdea ever
Personally I hate butcher blocks. Had them years and years ago. Too much up keep, replaced with granite.
