This order was for a 16" x 46" hickory butcher block to replace a damaged table top. The shipping packaging was very, very good. It was wrapped several times with protective foam before placing in the carton. The wood itself is also perfect except for the expected variations which actually add to the beauty. My wife commented about the beauty of the butcher block(before I did the staining and finishing) which was unusual for her. The table looks better than it did originally and like an expensive custom made product. If/when I have need for another piece of butcher block, I will definitely order from Country Mouldings again. My experience has been 110% satifactory.
