Pretty but....
This looks very pretty but doesn't feel very sturdy. The lettering looks like it can be easily removed or peel off. I plan to be very careful what sits on it or what spills on it, which is going to be very hard in a well used kitchen like mine! Thompson's waterseal maybe?.. I don't know. One reviewer said they applied shellac which made it look better but I'm concerned that may affect the lettering, especially the color because my lettering is really light, which I like. And if this doesn't take or react well with whatever is already on the wood (it has some shine already), I don't want an obnoxious smell or dangerous chemical in my kitchen. It did arrive 1 day earlier than I expected.  The ad for it shows lots of different designs but when you put in your customization, it doesn't give you an option for how you want your lettering written so seller just choose it for me. You can only type in what you want written on it. I guess I should have tried to contact seller directly before it was made. Will update my review later to see how it goes. It does match very well with my kitchen so I like that.
