Honestly, having this delivered to my home instead of having to pick it up is the best part. But this is a solid bamboo counter/table. At 1.5 inches thick it can be a desk top, or a custom cut countertop. Honestly, my use is a countertop, and this was great, I was attaching cabinets to a window ledge that was the same exact height, but made the total counter depth more than the standard 25 inches. So getting this let me easily cut a custom slab and fit it nicely to my window and counter.
