Even after one year my table top looked like it just came in.
You can watch a few YouTube videos if you want to see how to execute.
I used my garage, you should use some open area like a garage, but make sure it's not very dusty.
I borrowed saw horse from my friend, otherwise you can get two saw horses the foldable one from HD or Lowes.
Now, first step.
Use 150 grid sand paper to sand.
The butcher block comes one side with few imperfections and one side smooth. Use the sand paper to sand both sides to remove any small scratches, dents and other imperfections. I did good amount of sanding to make it really smooth. Though the butcher block comes in very good condition.
Note: as soon as you remove the packaging make sure to start working on it like staining and sealing within 48 hours. Because it comes sealed and if just keep it outside, then the wood will absorb all the surrounding moisture and may wraps.
1. Apply pre-stain wood conditioner. This may seems optional but, it's really help stain to spread and stick to the wood evenly.
I used this from Lowes you can go to Lowes and HD doesn't really matter and can pick any brand.

2. Then, you can use stain color based on how dark, or light or natural wood color you want.
I used the below oil based stain.
But, I guess I select walnut color.
You can use brush, but I use the old rag clothes.
Basically you can use any cloth old cotton tees usually perfect which are lint free.
Also you just apply two to three coats.
Allow three to four hours to dry between the coats.

3. Then, finally seal the butcher block that's very, very important.
Since I went with a bit of a shiny and glossy look I used semi-gloss polyurethane.

You don't have to get a gallon size, just small size cans are enough.
I applied three coats of polyurethane.
I used fast dry so I don't have to wait long before applying the next coat.
Finally I kept it in the garage for 24 hours so that all the oil based stain and polyurethane smell will go away.
All the products are for your reference you can use any brand from HD and Lowe's
I used Minwax brand
Hope this helps.
At the same time I ordered Acacia 60"x30" butcher block from Lowes.
I spend two days for preparing butcher block by staining, sealing and finally used semi-gloss poly and it turned perfect, then assemble this desk with top butcher block.
Since that day onwards, I have received so many compliments and requests from family and friends to make one of them. Total cost $250+$165+$30 = $450 I have perfect size sit-stand workstation which I have been using day in day out. I usually adjust two to three times a day typically. The dual motor is very smooth and very silent. Set up with three different memory at different hights.
For this price its a steal.
Because I have seen the size and daul motor sit-stand desk cost anywhere from $800-$1200 which I have currently now.

Without a top, the maximum weight capacity is 176 lbs. And this frame is supposed to be dual motor? Something is very wrong here.

I went uplift because I had heard on SD and Reddit about monoprice motors and other brands giving out. I can tell you i spent 1k on the L shaped frame with quite a few accessories during their St Patrick's day sale and $10 per board foot (maybe $500 total, really $750 but I bought way too much) on the walnut top, plus many tools I didn't have but wanted anyways just to do it. I can't recommend uplift yet but I did a decent amount of research and they were the only ones with a frame that would fit my WFH office.

$369 shipping included and has a built-in slot for holding my tablet and phone as well as cable management, pretty interesting idea and worked out pretty well for me
i also bought a frame from them previously for under $200
cant comment on the monoprice one, but at least these 3-tiered frames provide more range than the 3 other Autonomous frames that I've got in my office
trying to stick with the same look and 3-tiered frame going forward for all new employees at my office.
grab a Karlby, and done.

Height Adjustment Range 24.4" ~ 47.2"

No fancy preset heights but also no motors to fail and I really don't change the height.
Another solid alternative if your worried about weight limits is a fixed height workbench from HD, Lowes, or Sam's. You can always get a tall ergo stool if you need to sit.

Loving the result and highly recommend it for anyone who is up for an easy project.
