This professional grade cutting board is excellent. In fact, I should have bought the next size larger. I use it every day, sometimes all day long, and it's a pleasure to slice meats, vegetables, cheeses and condiments on it. Cleans up quickly. I did put rubber shelf lining under the slab to stop it from sliding on my counter top. I would recommend it to anyone, whether they are professional or not.

Very pleased. Heavy and well constructed board.

The cutting board is great. It is heavy and does not move around when cutting. The quality is top notch. The only bad tyhing is that they give you no instructions on how to care for it after use. Other than that it id great.

I gave the cutting board as a gift that was on her wish list. She was blown away and thought it was awesome.

I had been looking everywhere for a substantial wooden chopping block and was unable to find one that was sturdy, attractive, well-made and non-slipping until I researched on-line and the only one that was suitable was this one from Food Network. I use it almost daily and because it is attractive I leave it out on my counter. Very easy to clean. When I first received it, I used an oil meant for wooden chopping/cutting boards that is food friendly and would help preserve the block for years to come, and of course, make it easier to wipe clean. Once I did that (which is very simple, you just pour some of the oil on the board and spread the oil over the board, wait five minutes then wipe off the excess), I was ready to chop and cut away with my veges, fruits and nuts. Clean up was a snap and my food tasted and looked beautiful. I usually prepare salads several times a week for my husband and me, and we entertain friends at least twice a week, so my board gets used alot, and it still looks new. One of the reasons I wanted a wooden block was to preserve the life of my knife blades. If you don't have a wooden chopping board, I highly recommend this one, and if you do, you probably could use another. You won't be disappointed. Well worth the investment! I feel like a chef when I prepare my meals now...just call me "Chef Monica"
