The countertop is beautiful, however, we expected it to be at least oiled based on the description. It is sanded, half the shops sawdust came with the package I think. This will be wonderful when it’s installed, just will have more steps than we planned for to accomplish that end. Happy and unhappy at the same time. After waiting a long time for the countertop to be made, we don’t want to ship it back but had I known it was completely raw, I may have thought twice- nowhere in the description does it say this, no instructions or suggestions came with it either.
