[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone for the quick and thoughtful replies ! (I love this forum)

To answer some of the questions, we just bought the house and have no plans on reselling it soon, but may want to in 7/8 years. So at that point the kitchen will probably be a bit worn in and buyers will want to change it anyway. I just don't want them to see it and think "oh wow those people are crazy and cheap for putting wood countertops so the rest of the house is probably bad too".

You know: the "halo effect"... I am often surprised by how difficult it is to project your potential change/tastes and see past the bad color or floor choices.

From what I gather here, wood countertop would def be a bad investment if I wanted to modify the kitchen to resale now (which I kind of knew). But most of you wouldnt find it sooo ugly that you wouldn't be able to look past it and could plan to change the countertop when moving in.. (I live in a hot market close to the subway so if you are a rationale buyer the cost of changing the countertop is peanuts).

Given the majority of negatives, I am still going to explore if other countertops could make me happy...  [/quote]
