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 on the fence. My current desk is only about 24" deep and I'm okay with it, so this is a p cheap price for a finished piece of wood. But I see Floor & Decor has a 60 x 30in. butcher block for $150, but it's unfinished.
That floor & decor piece is rough. It comes in a box so you cannot see it, lots of filler and lots of markings still on it. Took a few hours to sand it down but it does come out nice.
Used the Home Depot block for my desk, used the floor and decor due to the size for my wife's desk.

Cool, that p much settles it for me then. I guess if I want the extra space (and have the free time to finish some wood) I can always take it off and replace it. For some reason the Husky block wanted $55 for delivery even though it still says "free delivery" when I search for it, but Home Depot was able to take it off for me which was nice

To everyone talking about staining and refinishing: this piece has a very tough clear finish already. It would take an insane amount of sanding to get to a point where you could stain it, and I guarantee you you're not gonna be able to sand enough and it's gonna end up looking like pure a$$.
Also, you don't need to epoxy or poly this.
Source: I have the actual workbench with this top and it's plenty tough.
for what you're getting the price seems awfully high.
I spent about 150% more on mine, granted mine is deeper (34" I believe), and it was bought during higher wood prices near the start of the pandemic. For an adjustable standing desk. I don't regret it, I'm going to have it for a long time.
Would like to use this for a desk, but need 42" or less. Would HD cut this down?
Just buy a smaller piece, unless you really think you can do something with the leftover. Longer boards are more expensive, it doesn't make sense to buy 6' when you need 4'.
Just what I was looking for thanks! Only shows one and only option for delivery same day though so extra $35. Doesn't tell me which store is coming from and they all show unavailable around me. Any ideas on how to figure it out?
NVM now showing ship to store option as well...look like they replenished the stock.
If you're buying it it immediately cut it into pieces to use as lumber.
You can't use BF for a finished product. A $200 endgrain cutting board is like 2bf of lumber that I can get for $7/bf. Does that make the cutting board overpriced?
Hint:no. Labor, tools and overhead, etc all cost money.

You are better off with a 36x80 Solid core interior door. You can make two WIDE desks with it. Ofc, you'd have to ask if they'd cut it in half in the store.

I added a monitor arm to have dual monitors mounted to it. Added a UPC battery backup mounted underneath it as well.

It may not be solid wood but it's for a desk, and I've yet to cause any real damage to the laminate and I work from home
