Need some input from other members here. I'm in the midst of planning my first kitchen cabinet and I'm surveying quite a few suppliers. So far, my preference still lies with Ikea, mainly because it's competitively priced and I really like their design and the additional accessories that I can add on to it.

I'm also seriously considering wooden countertop because I like how warmth it makes my kitchen feel and Ikea has this thick veneer wooden top. I've yet to do any thorough research but I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there who opted to go with wooden countertop and your personal experience (not hearsay).

I don't intend to use this for the next 20 years, but I'm hoping it will last me a good 5 years before I do remodeling and upgrade the kitchen.

Yea they no longer sell full wood, now only veneer wood. It supposed to be more durable (but I’ll just take it with a pinch of salt). How long have you had this ?
