[quote=Anonymous]Wood. I know a lot of people's immediate thought is butcher block and unsanitary, but wood countertops have come a long way. You can go with a very high end glossy, plank grain counter which wil be close to granite $$ or for a fraction of the cost you can do what we did and go to Ikea. We bought their oak counters and had them professionally installed. You can darken the finish with a stain, give it a sleek glossy seal or leave it more natural. We did the latter because it lets us sand out any scratches or stains and use a beeswax sealant every 6mo (we do not cut on the counters). We've gotten nothing but compliments and the cost was 1/3 of granite.[/quote]
