Wood is also resilient and can easily be refinished if you decide to change your kitchen design years down the road.
2). Variety of Color, Stain, and Finish Options
Choose from a variety of wood color, stain, and finish options to compliment your space. Consider the overall design of your ideal kitchen when making this decision.
