With such a rich industry in terms of materials and types of furniture and especially kitchen worktops, it may be difficult to choose a solid wood worktop, in terms of sticking within your budget. It may also be very tempting to go for more affordable materials instead. We believe in the beauty and durability of solid wood, and we want to present you eight reasons for choosing solid wood worktops instead of all the other options.

It’s strong and robust

Solid wooden worktops are very strong and durable. They can take up a lot of weight and pressure before they crack, but one of the biggest advantages is that they are less susceptible to water damage than veneer wood, for example. So you won’t need to worry that you might spill (too much) water on it and create bubbles and buckling.

It’s like a good wine

Just like a bottle of great wine, solid wood gets better with age, as it’s natural color will deepen. It will not start to look tired and worn, but it will keep it’s personality. And, if you polish it and wax it every few months, rest assured that it will serve you for many, many years to come.

It’s never out of style

Solid wood will never become outdated or out of fashion. It loom great with almost all kitchen styles and colours. It brings a natural warmth to your home and can make you feel closer to nature.

Wipe out all the imperfections

One of the biggest advantages of solid wood is that almost all imperfections can be sanded out. If you drop a knife on a stone surface or on a veneer wood worktop, it will be much more difficult to fix. However, if you choose a solid wood worktop, it will only need to be sealed once a year to prevent water from soaking in, dents can be easily filled, stains and scuffs easily polished out.
