Are your kids messy cooks then ::)

Sorry nyck ;), in truth wood worktops need quite a bit of looking after, it is possible to keep them looking good but they mark if water is left standing on them and do need regular maintenance.

No - avoid at all cost. They need a constant amount of work to stay looking good. Similar questions have been asked on the UK Workshop thread
