Our Brazilian cherry butcher block is exactly what I hoped it would be. We put the piece on the end of our kitchen island that is made of Vermont slate and it brings warmth with practicality to our contemporary kitchen. The team payed special attention to our requests on measurements and easing of edges. I was worried about ordering on line because I could not go see this product to make sure it is what I wanted. I am glad I was brave and now our block is 'home' This has been a good experience for us and I would recommend Country Mouldings to anyone looking for quality butcher block.
