I purchased three maple plank style countertops with the bead step edge for an office wall I am custom building in my living room. They are beautiful! No defects at all (one small chip out of the bottom that no one will ever see), and the finish is perfect! The bead step edge really finishes the pieces off nicely. I can't wait to get them installed, and will try to send some pics to show off the completed look. Great workmanship all around.
