Saved my Stove!
This was SUCH a happy purchase!  The wood was smooth and free of knots and splinter-causing pieces, AND it arrived without a single dent or scratch, thanks to the bubble-wrap and packaging.  I'm probably using it in an unconventional way (upside down) but it covers my burners AND gives my cat a chance to safely jump down from atop the fridge.  Painted it to look like the kitchen rug (the wood absorbed the paint beautifully), and VOILA!  Problem solved!  Thanks, Boxwood & Mum.
