also, it is a butcher block. if you want to get long life from it, i recommend either clear coating it (meh) or tung oil and sealing it with wax.
When I first got it, dropped a little coffee and it soaked right in. Then I read online about how to protect it. Bought the tung oil online and did a couple of applications and then coated it with some mothers carnuba wax
Now I can literally pour water and liquid onto it and it just beads up and can be wiped away.
Just wanted to let everyone know as if you leave the top unprotected, you are essentially working on an open block of wood which would absorb anything you spill and not last that long.
