What a surprise, when I opened the shipping box. The package looked like a very pricey gift. Inside, every inch was foam protected to ensure safe and secure handling of the gorgeous cargo inside.The quality, beauty, thoughtful innovation, top-tier craftsmanship, style, sustainable sourcing, domestic small business, humongous value, perfect size and thickness, satin feel, multi-usefulness of both reversible sides, such a deal!, are just a few of the reasons why i love this board!I have carefully hidden every one of my previous cutting boards away from view. This one looks quite awesome and Cheffy and has a permanent home on my kitchen counter.Mid-month and month-end will be oil day.I highly recommend this cutting board!

This is the first time I have been literally stunned at the quality of a product I purchased thru Amazon.I am an architect with plenty of cabinetry, paneling, and furniture design experience for homes of the very wealthy. The quality of this cutting board at this price is unbelievable.I would say the I was struck speechless when I opened the (also beautifully crafted) box it arrived in, except for the fact that I could not stop repeating “this is gorgeous”. It is also quite thick and much heftier than I expected.Included are easily understood and beautifully printed directions on how to maintain the cutting board.One thing to be sure to pay attention to is the direction to wash, dry and oil the block on both sides after using it. I know from experience that with wood you have to balance moisture content/porosity on both sides of a piece of wood.The only thing I can add is to say WOW !

Just received this board and am very impressed with the quality.It is very substantial cutting board that weighs approximately 8 pounds.It is a beautifully designed and, upon my initial use, has exceeded my expectations.The box and packaging is quite elegant and this would make a wonderful gift.

Likes: Packaging: The box is beautiful, sturdy and provides safe storage for the cutting board.Dimensions: The size and weight are sturdy and a perfect fit for the countertop. Accommodates the cutting/chopping/slicing needs of the two people I cook for.Juice groove: Circles the entirety of the board edges. Easy to clean as it is a bit wider than it is deep.Charcuterie groove: Good size. Accommodates enough finger foods for two.Easy to clean: A cotton cloth, dampened in very hot water, easily cleans this board. So far, no need to scrub or be aggressive. After air drying a thin layer of food grace mineral oil is rubbed in.Minor disappointment: This beautiful maple board is edge grain, rather than end grain. End grain might be better for the high grade, thinly bladed, knives used on it. No aggressive chopping will be done on this board. That, however, may be best for any board.Recommend: Highly recommend. This is a solid board. Not so heavy it is difficult to move but heavy enough it stays still on the countertop under use. Very easy to clean without scrubbing. It is a perfect size for the needs of two people.

Beautiful, smooth, well made. Pleasantly surprised with its beautiful, well-padded gift box. The board came preseasoned, and water rolled right off when I first washed it. I wanted to make sure it was very well seasoned before first using it, so I seasoned it with MCT coconut oil (turns out it was still thirsty!) and finished with a homemade cream of MCT oil and beeswax.
