This is a beautiful cutting board

This is a beautiful cutting board. Heavy, thick with little legs; very well made and is really a beautiful accent to a kitchen. This was apart of a house warming gift along with a set of cut I Knoves. Would definitely buy this again. I'm a fan of the variations of lighter and darker shades. I recieved a promo code to test and review this.

I really love this cutting board.  It's nice and large, but it's also thin.  I bought this to replace another large board, which was about the same length and width, but this one is much thinner, so it fits in the drawer under my oven.

The rubber grip adds aesthetic appeal, making it more attractive than it appears online.  It also makes the board comfortable to hold and keeps it from slipping all over the counter.

One side of the board is bordered by a groove to keep juices from spilling onto the counter.  The other side is completely flat.

The board is large and strong enough to lift a roast or turkey.  It is also durable.  I expect to enjoy it for many years to come.

UPDATE:  The more I use this board, the more I like it.  There are cuts in the surface, as one would expect of a cutting board, but the surface is not noticeably marred.  Love it!

This is so nice looking I hesitate to use it as a cutting board. I put plastic pads on the bottom to keep it in place and not slide. The 16x24 inch is the perfect size for me and isn't so heavy that it's a pain to clean it in the sink.  I scrolled through eight pages of cutting boards on Amazon before I found just the right color and size I was looking for.  I couldn't be happier with it.

These cutting boards are very beautiful and well made. After applying the wax they are so nice I'm almost reluctant to even use them, but I will.

I bought this cutting board to replace an older well used board that is now my out door cutting/transport board.  This cutting board provides a very stable surface to cut meat on.  It is quite heavy and not easily moved from its original position over my garbage disposal.  It is an attractive board and well put together.  It has a "juice" canal on one side and a smooth surface on the reverse for different types of carving.  The hand grips are handy when you have to move/adjust the cutting board, because it is a fairly substantial hunk of wood.  After spending as much as I did on this board and educating myself as to their up keep, I use a butcher block oil about once a month on the board to keep it looking good and block any unwanted liquids from permeating into the wood.  An excellent cutting board, well worth its cost.

I build a kitchen island and we decided to splurge on a quality cutting board.  It is great.  It is big enough to handle almost anything and it is attractive.

This is a beautiful board that adds warmth to my kitchen and functions perfectly as a cutting board.  I treat it with the Boos board cream and it made the tones even richer.  I don't expect this to warp or crack with proper care; however, my counter top is not level, so I have to keep a piece of folded aluminum foil under one of the corners.  I really like that it has grooves on the side for lifting.  I do regret getting the 20x15, though b/c I have space for the larger one, and find that I tend to do all my meal prep at this board.  I may treat myself to the larger one, as well!

I adore my cutting board. I use it almost every day. Although the grooves from the knife cuts do show, when oiled, the board maintains a beautiful sheen. I highly recommend this board. It's a little more work than you might be used to, in keeping the wood supple, but well worth the effort.

This is a nice size for large roasts, London Broil, etc. It will work for a turkey, but might be a bit small.

The great part is the deep and large groove cut around the perimeter. I no longer have the problem of overflowing meat juices. That used to be a big problem for me, but no more.

I love the look, especially after I oiled the surface to bring out the grain. That's a good thing to do with any wood or bamboo cutting board because it makes clean-up a whole lot easier. It's truly a thing of beauty, and is very impressive when we bring it out for company. The reverse side makes an elegant and natural looking board for cutting and serving bread.

And, of course, it's bamboo. Bamboo is a environmentally friendly material. It's grass, grows quickly, and does not dull the knives you use..

After I got this home I was astonished at the quality. I have seen cutting boards 5 or 6 times the price of this one that are not half as nice. This is the type of cutting board that will last for years and years because it is so exceptionally put together. It looks almost like a work of art. The entire board (both sides, even the edges) has a lovely shining finish that adds to the look of it as well. It even has 4 large rubber grippers in each corner of it (the true sign of a quality cutting board.) I have used this for cutting everything from meat to vegetables and it's always a breeze. By the way, since it's so large (13X13) the oversized design makes it perfect to use as a trivet. The cutting board is made by Architec (a company that has been making fine items of wood for decades) and is 100% acacia. The cleaning and maintenance are very easy; simply wash it in hot antibacterial soapy water after every cooking step and treat it with a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/high-quality-food-grade-mineral-oil/dp/B0000CFSV9/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">high-quality food-grade mineral oil</a>&nbsp;after every 50 uses. I also wrap the board in aluminum foil anytime I am working with poultry which helps keep it even more sanitary. If you have stumbled upon this page along your cutting board journey then consider your journey completed because you have found the best that very little money can buy.

Beautiful cutting boardwell-made and designed.  I bought it as a Christmas present to use as a cutting board.  The gentleman receiver found it a might too small for that purpose but loved it and instead, hung it in his kitchen!  It looks as beautiful on the wall as it did on the counter.  I am giving it 4 stars because, though I did read the measurements, there are some areas unusable for cutting (New England, for example!) which makes it rather small.  It WOULD make a great serving board, though.

This cutting board is so pretty. I bought it because I have been redecorating my kitchen with red. This one was perfect. It appears to be well made. The pattern is great. The red tomatoes are bold and that is what I wanted, but the greens are vivid as well. Very pleased.

The wood on this and the color of it couldn't be prettier.  It's actually just a tiny bit darker than in the photo and I love it.  It's large without being cumbersome and the handle is just the right size to be functional but not affect the attractiveness of the board.  Absolutely anyone in any kitchen could use this.  Unless there are any quality issues which I have yet to see, this is an ideal cheese board.

This is a cutting board that is not only well made, but also beautiful. My mom loved it and has already put it to good use! Super smart idea to make the packaging plantable (it's like two presents). I am so happy to find a great product AND support small business.

The Totally Bamboo Tree of Life Cutting and Serving board is truly a high quality item.  The board is artistically shaped like a cross section of a tree trunk and in place of the trees rings are rings or laser-etched animals that make this cutting/serving board both beautiful and whimsical.

The board is made out of layered bamboo and is 1 1/2 inches thick and about 15 inches in diameter.  It is a solid board, large, but is a bit hefty, weighting in at almost 7 pounds.  As it is solidly constructed and keeps its place because it is heavy, it functions well as a cutting board.  However, I decided that I really didn't want to use it this way as I didn't want to scratch up the surface design with a sharp knife.

The flyer that came with the board states that the company, Totally Bamboo, donates a portion of the proceeds to Trees for US, a program through the National Forest Foundation that helps plant trees to preserve the U.S. National Forests. Additionally, by constructing their products out of bamboo, Totally Bamboo helps preserve the world's forest.  That said, although Totally Bamboo appears to be a U.S. company, the cutting board is entirely made in China which means that it was shipped half way around the world, likely enlarging its carbon footprint.

I felt that the quality of the etching was fine. The animals were etched in a rich, walnut brown color that contrasted nicely with the blonde bamboo background.  There are variations in the etching throughout but all animals are visible and accounted for on the sample cutting board that I received for review.

I received this nice cutting board today.  I not only use the board, I leave it out for looks.

I just Love this Cutting Board.  Not only is it the most sturdy and functional cutting board that I've ever owned it is also very beautiful.  It's larger than I expected which was a nice surprise given the price is what you would pay elsewhere for a much smaller cutting board.
My old cutting board showed virtually every knife stroke, but not this one because it is extremely solid and sturdy.  It has also proved much easier to clean than those I have owned in the past.
I would highly recommend this cutting board.  I could never see myself going back to using the cutting board I previously owned.  This one is superior by far.
