No please don't use this. Can easily stain. Quartz is better

Solid wood you still need to maintain by adding some mineral oil if you didn't apply any paint on it. Also note that wood surfaces have grains in them and these collect dust and stains and not one professional kitchen uses wood for their counter tops.

SOS
I designed my own kitchen

Yep as per my post on top of you.

Concrete is porus and will be dusty. Try visiting those gen z cafes with concrete everything. Run your hand through the surface and it's dusty as hell

this, i feel like having a breakfast/bar counter with wood for my upcoming house

but man the amount of maintenance needed to do in future..

i wanted to use full steel for wet kitchen but my gf is like    lolol

yeah but issue is she said it looks too much like commercial kitchen than a home kitchen haha

not something she wants. for me i wanted steel cause damn easy to clean and maintain

Stainless steel will fade over time (I donno the exact word) and there will be scratches (look closely at your car). Plus if you drop something on it, there will be a dent. I don't suggest this.

yeah this is expected cause the shiny polish will be gone and replaced with scratches. not a biggie IMO, i treat them as wear and tear feel

i dont mind those, but main concern OFC is rust as usual
sexay, but my concept was completely different 

something like this, this is why she said like commercial kitchen and a hard no

yeah IKR? wobbles like jelly also lmao

using this as workbench at wet kitchen, works very well so far but unsightly

My parents house using full Cengal wood, cost them 40K in the 80s..

Sink area need cement and tiles. Wood cannot last there.

Nowadays got alternative materials other than wood like aluminium and panels.
