How durable are the bumpers? I see that the cutting board doesn't have built-in 'feet' to assist with gripping the counter and allowing air flow below the board. Instead, it comes with adhesive bumpers that seem to simply be repackaged cabinet door...

I have had it for months and the feet are still on. I have only used it in the dishwasher a few times. I was surprised the feet did not come off. I wasn't too concerned about having them on though.

I've had this board for years....It is wonderful....very heavy....If worried about sliding, I would just use a piece of that light rubber mesh type shelf liner under it... (available at Amazon.com...search shelf liner).....

We do not, but the manufacture should be able to answer that question. There is a finish on the surface so I guess if you sand it first, then put "Food Grade Mineral Oil" on it, seems that you would have a cutting board.

It has bumpers you nail into the bottom. They have worked good for my setup on hardwood floors.

Daniel, yup. Eventually even the self sealing boards get too chewed up and they have to be replaced. You are paying for the whole set here and then the replacement boards are much less. The bracket inside the cabinet came already installed which was really nice. There is just a large screw in the back of the board and it slides right into the bracket.

Mine is still fine, in daily use, but if it comes off I will just super-glue it back on. I have to agree that the desk without the bumper strip would be useless.

Possibly. The side edges are held in place by small nails. We have three of these, and one side of one did detach. We reattached it easily with the additional of some wood glue and it is very sturdy. We use ours for an unconventional purpose too: We use three side by side to cover our stovetop burners, and thus add some additional 'counter space' to our kitchen. We have gotten many compliments on our creative use of space. Sometime I will have a rice mixer, a food processor or a blender on the board and they are definitely sturdy enough. However, we don't store our appliance on the boards.

My adapter, as installed on my bumper, shows no scratches after several uses. If I decided to remove it, I am sure that the bumper would have scratches where the adapter was previously installed. I don't think that a piece of shelf liner would change that fact. If you are worried about the pristine appearance of your bumper, you should plan on installing this (or any other) adapter once and leaving it in place forever.

Hi Robert! I bought this set 4-6 months ago and they are holding up well so far. My mom also bought a set about 3 months ago and hers are holding up as well. She has limited cupboard space too, so she puts a paper towel between each pan to protect it from the bottom of the one stacked inside of it (simple cheap solution). Hope this helps!

Pressed wood chips? We have about ten and use them for storage. They have stood up pretty well. Do note, the bottom cabinet does not have a back. It has a nice smooth grey surface on top.

We've used the board with "bumpers" attached almost daily for several months now and they are still firmly attached .

Mine is a sturdy, wood board that appears it could easily be used as a cutting board, as long as it was treated with cutting board finishes and cleaning agents. I do not cut on mine, although I use it regularly for food prep. I have small, recycled plastic cutting boards I keep on the top shelf that I use instead and a waste basket right next to it for scraps. So while I do not use it as a cutting board, mainly because I am too lazy to take care the wood, it would appear to me that you can.

I only did this in all of my bathrooms. I've had it on for a year, and it hasn't chipped or worn off. I'm not sure on kitchens, but you have to be careful on putting hot objects on it. Overall, I've been impressed with it in my bathrooms.

Top Shelf is worth it if you don't have alot of extra space to store all the extra play kitchen paraphernalia. We put my kiddos utensils, small appliances on the top shelf. The oven door might be the only area that might get damaged with a rough boy...my girl is not rough, but she did sit on the drop down door and now the hinges are bent so the door doesn't close properly...something that could be easily replaced...

it depends on how heavy you things are... i bought one for over 3 years now and it is still good....i mostly use it as a cutting board .... but i did not cut directly on the desk since it is a hard plastic. i put a piece of board on top..... it is easy to move around....

To date this thing has been great and yet to have any issues. Im handicaped due to a storke a few years back leaving me with one weak arm. So this gets tossed around a bit. Best money Ive spent for a kitchen item.Bit has been staying in place with no issues. Good luck.Hope this helped.

Hi Ellen,The board I got is nearly identical on the bottom, just without the channel you can clearly see in the product photo. There were no grooves or feet of any kind, just a completely flat surface. Definitely no feet for me - not attached, and not included in the packaging.We've been using this board for a while now and it's still perfectly flat, so it doesn't rock at all while cutting. We've not had any slippage issues, but your mileage may vary depending on what you're doing and how you use it.Hope that helps!
