wooden kitchen worktops

I am currently fitting a new kitchen and I’m looking for worktops to put with it. Ideally I would like real oak, not laminate, with no joins. I need worktops 4m long and this has seemed to be a rare size to buy in shops. Locally, in Wigan and Liverpool I have found 4m oak worktops. These work out at £400-£500 for one 4m length. Online I have found them at half of the price.

They are on
woodworktops.com/oak-worktops.html
and
.topworktops.co.uk/woodworktops/index.php/worktops/oak-worktops-1/oak-worktops.html#


Basically I was a bit worried that this seems too good to be true. Has anyone bought from these before? Or has anyone bought real oak work tops online?

    I am pretty sue that the company in the first link used to have a show room on the north circular A406. Call them and ask!
    If so, then I bought my oak tops from there around 3 years ago and they are fantastic. The guys running the place were very helpful too. I used Osmo wax to prepare and seal the tops and would highly recommend that too.
