Butcher block counter tops

Cameron Butler
Posted

Has any one had any experience with butcher block counter tops in a rental unit? Considering installing them, and curious how “tenant proof” they are

They are not "tenant proof" at all. They require regular maintenance and sealing plus they can be sensitive to moisture and heat. I'd stick with a solid surface like cheap granite or go with a neutral laminate depending on your price point and market comps.
