We purchaced the top about 2 months ago, it took about 6 weeks to come. I feel that the top is just average, there was a dent from the straping used in packing, we didn't have a problem with it due to the fact it was on the bottom down side. I feel we might have better off with butcher block it seems stronger, time will tell. We love our cabinets very much and would order more if needed.
