Tops are face grain is 1.25" ( 1 1/4") thick x( 25"-30" wide x 48 ,52, 58, 60 ,68 or 72"long. this is for top only, no desk is involved in this item. We send 6 pages of finishing instructions for each order.....for the DIY crowd. See custom width and length button above to purchase. Shipping for a 25" x 68" is about half that of a 25" x 72", depending on your location. customers want to be informed and know this. ***Top only***, We have different monitor shelves of different widths, just send your wish list, probably have it in stock. This is not for a desk. Just the top. also have backsplashes, various shelfs too !!! This is character top which May have, figured walnut, blond walnut, darks and reds and different contrasting and complementing tones of walnut", just stunning and very pretty, these are different than our uniform walnut. ********* We recommend our customers avoid desk tops ( sold online) and islands that have coat of mineral oil / beezwax or some " miracle wax" combination....this is a finish that will never dry and harden and will not be suitable for desk top. Sounds good in theory , but is not an heirloom finish. You papers and products will be oily and you cannot roll dough on an oily surface. If you want a more uniform color walnut, please ask, we have uniform walnut too.... These are NOT veneer junk like you would find at IKEA, you cannot repair Veneer very well and it does not hold up over years of usage. These are tops that last a lifetime and will be passed onto your kids. We ship these unfinished. They are sanded to 150 grain and will need additional sanding of tops and edges for finishing. ******* All butcher blocks have a propensity to cup, your block may arrive with a 1/8 of an inch of cup along the width or so. This is the nature of all butcher blocks, no matter how thick they are.. Please understand this makes no difference in the usability of your top or how it may screw on your base. This is character top which May have, figured walnut, blond walnut, darks and reds and different contrasting and complementing tones of walnut. Beeswax and Mineral oil ( IKEA and other SELLERS on Amazon and EBAY) do not dry on Walnut tops unless you want to wait 8 months or so and live in the desert, so we recommend Tung oil with a Drier, and or Water based finishes for Desktops, like Crystal FIN, Profin and DALYS tung oil. All of these products can be found here at the end of our store. This large slab of Black Walnut are pieces arranged and jointed together, kiln dried wood. The slab would make a great counter top (Over hangs standard cabinet,) coffee table or computer desk top ( work station) , many of our customers use these on adjustable work stations with up/down bases. These are unfinished barewood 100% walnut. Weights: 25 x 48- 25 lbs 25 x 52- 32 lbs 25 x 68- 50 lbs 30 x 52- 45bs 30 x58- 50lbs 30 x 60- 53 lbs 30 x 72- 65 lbs (above amounts give or take 3 lbs.) Note: These are unfinished blocks of wood, this is a DIY finishing project which takes a wood person about 1-3 man hours to finish, either with Tung oil or Urethane. Our tops come very well packaged. Sometimes our tops arrive with fingernail scratches or superficial scratches and rarely but sometimes corner dings. These are not a big deal, and are normal. anything superficial or light scratching can be easily taken out with 330 sandpaper or heavier 220 if needed. Corner Dings can be eased off with sandpaper very easily and with some elbow grease, blended into the top. Subtle dings and fingernail scratches are however unwanted, but often are a result of shipping handling. Etsy does not process or deal with shipping claims for damage. You as the buyer, must handle a damage claim , if one thinks they want to proceed. I can tell you from experience, its always better to fix a ding or two , than to deal with a fedex claim. In the end you would commonly have to get a certificate of destruction, which is laborious and tedious.
