I would love to see where you're finding a 6ft top for significantly less than this posted deal? I haven't seen anything since before covid so I don't know how you're blaming SD for the lack of these deals? The market has changed, SD has no control over that. The lowest price I can find was $95 from last fall for a similar birch top... but that was like 9 months ago. The Ikea offerings are thinner and known to sag. If you have a good example you should share so people can make an informed decision on whether this deal is for them.
Excuse me for my different opinion. I think that is not cheaper to DIY build a similar butcher block style bench top if you add the cost of several quality 24" C-clamps and a 24" wide surface planner into the DIY project.
I'm still waiting for one of these "not a deal" people to provide an example... Even an expired semi-recent SD thread of a better deal than this.
The truth of the matter is that it simply does not exist. This is the new pricing until the raw materials market somehow gets oversaturated which isn't happening anytime soon.

It's almost like trade wars and shooting wars drive up prices

I've been using this as a desktop on 2 ikea alex units for the last 3 years and have no complaints. It's held up very well and I've never wanted a deeper desktop. I put my monitors on a jarvis dual arm which leaves me plenty of space on top. If you're planning on staining the top just be warned that the factory finish is pretty hard to remove. It took ~3 hours of sanding with a DeWalt random orbital to strtp it.
I had this wood top for a computer desk, but ultimately went with something with 30" dimension. With 24" dimension I find that I'm sitting way too close to the monitor. If you're planning to use this as a computer desk I would recommend paying a little more and getting something that is 30" in dimension. The extra space where you can move your keyboard up and use as a desk for other tasks is underrated or just having that extra real estate to put things. It's also nice if you have dual or triple monitors where you won't have to turn your neck as much since you're sitting further away. I don't think I can go back to sub 30" dimension desks after having a 30" desk.
Ordered 5x. Thank OP. I'm using these as temporary countertops until the actual footprint for new cabinets are in place. Then they go to garage, garden, and outdoor kitchen worktops. The others I'll rip in half for some solid wood 12"x72" floating shelves which is much cheaper than anything offered currently for that size and thickness.
Ordered. The cheapest you'll find a 72x24 butcher block. I've been looking for a while for a replacement standing desk top. You may be able to find one $5/$10 cheaper but good luck getting it in stock

Ah yes bc pine wood is soooo similar to rubber wood. Give me a break. Pine is stupid easy to damage. It would never hold up well to the rigors of being a workbench

I actually bought 2 adjustable height workbenches from HD that came with this top and then removed and sold the tops to replace with 36" deep tops.
Which 36" deep tops did you end up going with? I've been on the hunt for some too.
This is the piece I used - https://www.flooranddec
