[quote=Anonymous]We have butcher block countertops and love them. If you just oil them properly ( which is not hard unless you're the kind of person who never, ever wipes down your counters to begin with) you will not need to worry about water damage. And wood is naturally anti microbial - all these people droning on about them being unsanitary have no idea what they're talking about. I find them so much nicer than the granite we had in our condo which needed to be periodically resealed, and heaven forbid you dropped anything on it because iIt's would break. Granite also stains, and you can't whip out the sander and buff it away the way you can with butcher block, either! I won't hate on granite (only just plain hate it, ha), I have friends that love it, but any surface is going to have its own set of issues so I agree you should pick what you like and not worry about resale. There are plenty of Americans who love butcher block. I get compliments on and envious glances towards ours all the time.[/quote]
