Once they are properly seasoned they are relatively robust but ime easy for them to go black round the sink area and may not be ideal with kids using the kitchen.

Wood i ve never seen a pale wood worktop the oiling tends to make them dark. I wanted to go for a pale green island with white marble effect quartz worktop but i m not brave enough about the green worried about hating it after a while even though it s a nice green.
