I’m thinking of having solid wood worktops installed in my kitchen but im concerned about the amount of maintenance they may need. Does anyone have any experience of them, I’d appreciate any advice. Thank you

We acquired wood worktops when we moved to our new home. The previous owner had varnished them to make them look presentable. This resulted in the work surfaces being sticky and not particularly nice to look at. Unfortunately we are "stuck" with them (pardon the pungrin) as we just can't decide what to replace them with.

No matter how expensive the units, or how expensive the house I will only ever have laminate worktops, np oorries about maintenance or care and if some exceptional disaster does happen, cheap to replace.

I agree with that M0nica

Another laminate fan here. I've never seen a wooden worktop that looks good. They're always discoloured and manky around the sink and have burn marks from hot pans near the oven. The combo of heat, water and wood just seems a triumph of aesthetics over reality.
