Nice island counterLynneIt’s just beautiful. Was so happy with it that I also bought the kitchen counters.5
Beautiful addition to my new IKEA kitchenAnnetteThe Karlby oaken butcher block island slab was custom cut (make sure you have a new saw blade) and makes a fantastic addition to my new black and beige IKEA kitchen. The included trim needed extra adhesive to stay on. It is one of the costlier countertop/island options.5
Nice looking but be aware of waterJunAfter leaving a small puddle of water on it for a day, the wood veneer was completely lifted and damaged.3
Great countertop!MyrtleLove the look of this countertop that we use as a kitchen island. Cleans up easily. Does not stain or streak. Mixes well with painted cupboards and drawers. Size exactly as stated. Easy to install 5
PerfectDwightIt was perfect. Had to cut it easy to do great price.5
Replacement Dining TabletopSimonOur family has recently expanded and our beloved dining table just wasn’t big enough for all of us to sit down together for a meal. We purchased the Karlby countertop and fitted it directly to our dining table. Problem solved!5
Kitchen island countertopKathrynLooks beautiful and the large surface area gives me lots of work space.5
Top is nice, edge banding sucks.Anonymous reviewerWe got the 72×42 large counter top in Walnut. It's a nice finish, however it needed to be cut to size and re edged using the supplied "peel and stick" veneer edge band. After cutting to size, and attaching the edge banding (to which I was very skeptical of, however it was easier than making several little blocks of real walnut and gluing them) I used, and rolled said edge band on. It did not last. After wiping down the top with a damp rag to clean it, 3 sections bubbled. No amount of clamping would re-adhear them. So in the end the top came off. Went back to my garage and was pieced here and there with real wood and actual wood glue. I openly expect it to happen again to other section of the edge banding. Buyer beware if you have to cut it.3
Laundry room countertopJenI purchased this island countertop to use over my washer and dryer in my laundry room. It worked absolutely perfectly and looks great. Used back slice for laundry room shelf. There was still a big enough slice left over to use as a small shelf in my en suite bathroom. Love it!5
Used as table top.JohnGreat matt finish, resists water marks, etc.5
Nice cheap island top with a bow in itAnonymous reviewerinstalled on our island and noticed it has a bow in it, not all that happy with it but don't think I can return it. cheap, get what you paid for I guess.2
Second time buying thisAnonymous reviewerThis is the second time we have bought this island top for our home. We bought it a few years ago in our first house and it was great & wore very well so when we just did our kitchen reno we had to include it again! It's the perfect size for an island top and you can't beat the price. We did quartz on the rest of the countertops and the combination of wood and stone looks great. We sealed it using the Ikea sealer once/year and it was easy to do. Only small problem is this second island top had a small ding out of the top when we opened the package, but we figured over time it would get some small scratches and we could live with it (wasn't worth a complicated return)I would highly recommend this product and would buy again.5
Walnut butcher block countertopAnonymous reviewerBeautiful countertop! Very happy we purchased it from IKEA!5
This is a good deskAnonymous reviewerI use this as a desk top paired with 2 white ALEX drawers. Fits 3 monitors and small printer. Looks great.5
Nice island with some flawsAnonymous reviewerWe purchased this island for simplicity and it has done the trick. The island did some bowed in the box however, but we didn't really noticed until it was too late. I would recommend checking the item fully before install.4
Nice stain and affordable, but scratches easilyAnonymous reviewerPaired this counter top with the off-white Grimslov cabinets and it looks great. It warms ups the kitchen with a vintage/country feel. The only downside is that we find it scratches easily. Unfortunately due to the scratching, we wouldn't recommend this product.3
Defective warped productAnonymous reviewerWe bought this product last week. The countertop was warped. The width of the surface was about a quarter of an inch lower on either ends. There was a visible batch of extra layer of glue at the bottom side about 9 by 12 inches by 1/8 inch thick. Please be aware that the packaged size was a few inches wider than listed on the website. You may want to unpack and inspect this product at the store before taking it home. It is a very heavy and awkward product to return. Very disappointed with the quality of this Ikea product.1
