@Laura2592 I would say then you should either 1) wait until whatever you really want is available, or 2) compromise and get a different granite. Granite seems like the best option due to its durability. Since your space is a 'staycation' you know that guests will use it and be hard on it, whatever it is. Copper, I don't know, it seems risky, but it would probably still look good even if guests banged it up. Butcher block I suspect would get burned quickly.
Maybe you need a new 'template person'....non standard cabinets are not that rare.
I'm amazed how many knife marks the kitchen table has...even though there are 1) a large wooden cutting board sitting on the radiator top 2) a marble cutting board sitting ON THE TABLE and 3) 2 plastic cutting boards in the cabinet. Yet still people are cutting right on the table over and over again.
