Oiled oak worktop. But is only 28mm. I'm not sure if this would look cheap & horrible in the kitchen. Can I have peoples thoughts on this please?
Big kitchen, aiming to have off white units. Also, not sure if 28mm worktop would be robust?? thanks in advance

How you think it looks is a personal thing, worktops do seem to have got "beefier" in the last 20 years, but strength-wise, 28mm will be fine.
We have 28mm beech, in position 23 years now and still going strong.0 -
ok thanks one & all. Ya, think I'll hold out for the 40mm - keep saving :j0

There are some cheap 40mm tops on the net. I got mine from inigmadirect at a really good price. Therefore you may not have to save up for too long.
