Is the top of the island a thick wood like a butcher block?

Its not a typical butcher block, but can be used as a cutting surface. It is quite thin though and is prone to splitting. I will be replacing my top after limited us for about a year.

No. The surface is decorative. The instructions recommend you do not use for food prep or cutting. The finish is not coated so I am not sure that it is toxic but it is not meant to be used as a butcher block. We use ours with a cutting board and try to wipe up all spills and liquids right away, cleaning with only water and a mild dish soap. No problems so far after 9 months of use. The top is held on by 6 screws that fit in the bottom from the metal base. It seems like it would be easy to get a custom butcher block cut to use with this base.

It's kind of like butcher block, as piece of wood are glued together, but they are not as thick as a butcher block is. looks like it but wouldn't cut on it.

The wooden top is butcher block and real nice. I use it for a potting bench out on my deck and the height is perfect for me. I love it!!

It's bare wood, but oil treated. So you would need to pick an appropriate stain. The top is a butcher block so I wouldn't recommend staining that. You may want to re-oil it occasionally though. I saw some sites with staining suggestions/how tos for this peice and it's oil treatment. you should be able to get some good results on google.

I love my kitchen island, it is made of good wood and the antiquing is very well done.Does not look like black marks. Very good choice. I have recommended to friends,but sold out when they checked it out.

The table top is pressed wood with a veneered surface. They are really well built and until you asked and I looked at them from underneath, I thought they were solid wood. They are kind of heavy. I would buy them again and I recommend them.

No. Although a few pieces are solid wood, most of the pieces are well disguised pressed wood.

It is wood on top of the metal. You will not be disappointed with this knife.

You would need a separate cutting board; the top is NOT a butcher block. (It is a wonderfully crafted island; incredibly useful, and holds a ton of stuff on the two inside shelves).

hello Jo S., on this unit the feet are adjustable (screw on & off) you may be able to find wheels that can screw into the existing holes. But it does have a wooden butcher block top! Thanks!

The whole thing is sturdy wood. The base is hollow inside. I know it looks like stone in the pictures. The table is great though. I also got the chairs with it. The whole set works nicely. The table top scratches easily though so be careful.

It is not thick at the top, but the wood is very hard and I find it strong (it tells you on the tag what type of wood it is ) . All I can say , it is my favorite walking stick and I have many!

The top appears to be made of the same wood as the legs. Both have knots. IDK if cedar has knots or not. Seems more sturdy than pine, tho.

must be a mis-print. My table is solid wood. I absolutely love it. I'm using it as an island in my kitchen.
