Has the butcher block top been sealed or lacquered?

Yes it is sealed and maybe a layer of Urethane on it. I wouldn't cut on it but I guess you could.

Its sealed, i placed my toaster oven on it, the top still looks great, and easy to clean

it has a slippery surface, don't know if that is sealed or lacquered. It's really easy to clean.

The color shown is fairly accurate. The wood blocks are mixed in color. When freshly oiled the cutting board is quite dark and lightens over time. Also when freshly oiled, the block is darker than shown.

Yes it is sealed. It's a very nice fixture. Does not wobble. Good lighting and good fan speed

I'm pretty sure it's an edge grain board. Butcher block type boards are usually end grain. :)

It is make of a soft wood but not butcher block, you could use it as a chopping block but it might mess up it's appearance after a while.

It is raw wood, so I would say no. I wanted to prolong its life so I sealed it with Thomas wood sealer. It turned out great

It isn't damaged. It will probably come off with a good cleaning with Bar Keeper's Friend. It is a pretty common occurrence with new SS cookware. Happy cooking!!

Hi....it is totally sealed. This is a heavy duty apparatus. It's well worth the $.

Hi- No, the top is not butcher block. It is beautiful but is laminated wood. One of the people on Amazon suggested mounting the knife block upside down to store cutting boards in it. We didn't do that but don't use the top for food prep. Hope that helps. I will say we REALLY love the size and extra storage space it provides. It's fairly narrow plus we didn't mount the towel or knife rack which makes it the perfect size for us. Good luck in finding a good unit!Valerie

It is stained, and I believe it is sealed. I won't swear to that though because I gave it as a gift so do not have it here for me to examine. It is very nice though. By far the nicest option I have seen.

I have a commercial grade butcher block sitting in my kitchen, oak colored wood...it deepens the color in certain areas (those that are used most often) but not all areas. I presume the key to be the absorbency of the wood.

I purchased two of them and neither were sealed either. I didn't think anything about it at the time. But I've been using it for weeks and haven't had any issues.

The majority is pressed wood, but I was very happy with quality. The top has a nice pattern which may be veneer.

It appears to have just an oiled finish. I believe it could be stained. They don't recommend the top be stained or varnished, just use mineral oil on the top.

No. The interior is not lacquered. The outside of both of mine are lacquered and have scratched pretty badly. The interior is not lacquered as far as I can tell.

I made three butcher blocks for Christmas gifts this year so haven't had much time to evaluate. But no problems yet. I did look all over and I thought this was the best I could find. Hope this helps.
