Tbf, I find it fine everywhere apart from around the sink.
And if I was the only one who used the kitchen, that would also help....
Kids approaching teens, careless cleaner; I'd rather something a bit more fit and forget.
First world problems, I know...
ChasnotRobert-
I've got a wooden worktop and slightlt regret it too - not so much the actual maintenance, more the feeling of always having to be a bit more mindful/careful about spilling things, leaving stuff on it etc. Nicer to be able to forget about that stuff when cooking.
Also leaving anything wet and metal (pots, cans) on it leaves black marks that need to be sanded off.
Does look nice though.

Never understood why people aren't into wood. It's only a faff to maintain if ou want it looking perfect all year around. I cook several times a day and am messier than anyone I know. A quick wipe with a warm water sponge and job done. Around the (Belfast) sink there is some staining but it basically looks fine after 9 months and if I wanted to I could get a very very fine grit sandpaper and give the whole thing a once-over then re oil. It's actually a fun job.
