I went with laminate countertops instead of butcher block and I don't regret it
Everyone always says butcher block is the cheap upgrade that looks high end. I tried it in my last kitchen and after 6 months the wood near the sink started swelling up. I redid the whole thing with laminate from Lowe's for $180 total. It's been two years now and it still looks fine, even with my kids spilling stuff on it daily. I think butcher block is way overhyped for anyone who actually uses their kitchen. Anyone else skip the trendy option and go with something boring that just works?

Butcher block near a sink is INSANE.

Yeah, "butcher block near a sink is INSANE," it's like asking for a kitchen experiment gone wrong.
