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.

grab a Karlby, and done.
So he told me to refuse the delivery if i can, and if i couldn't refuse they will issue a return label, once item arrives back they inspect it which is like 5-7 Days and after that 3 more days to get refund. i assume everything will be done under 5 days when they get it back.
he also tried to do a stop shipment but wasn't sure if that will work or not.
My desk top is 72" x 25" butcher block and most people would consider it a huge desk.

Assembly was super easy and I bought a bamboo top from Lowes. It's attached with 8 screws and definitely advise to drill pilot holes.
Operation is almost silent and adjusts in very small increments so you can get the exact height you want. Super solid at standing height and I am 6'3" so it's pretty high. No wobble at all.
Only annoying thing is that it goes into sleep mode or something after a while and you need to press and hold the "M" button to wake it up.
Very impressed.

Paired it with a 60" by 30" beech wood finished top from Home Depot online, unfortunately the corners were pretty damaged from shipping, but after a couple of quick phone calls they refunded me 25% off, so I am a happy camper.
I watched a few YouTube videos for ideas, and ended up mounting my power supply under the desk, and I also got a white steel cable rack for under the desk to hold my power bricks.
Long story short, very happy, this desk is super well made and looks incredible with a solid wood 60" by 30" top.

Crap, just threw out the manual. Sorry to ask, but any chance to lay out steps here?
When the display is flashing S-7, press M button once and the current lock setting is displayed. Change it to 0 and the lock will be disabled.
Let me know if this doesnt work I can email you a screen from the manual.
