Is the board a slate-lilke surface on a hardboard/composite wood? I am wanting to remove the frame and cut the board so any wood would do.

It doesn't feel like real slate at all, it seems more like a painted surface on a masonite-like product. They are very lightweight, but I imagine you could replace the frame / wood if you wanted. Just a word of caution, I ordered three of these before I received one that wasn't broken/punctured. Frames were cracked on two and the third had the board punctured.

Hello Tim, Yes, it is a slate-lilked surface on a hardboard wood and you should be able to remove the frame and use any kind of wood you want but I would keep the solid red oak frame for myself, just saying! good luck with your decision, either way it will look nice! Muffin3027@yahoo.com

Hi, it's a thin laminate(plywood), not solid. I'm not sure what type, stanes nice.

I returned this item as it didn't work for me. I don't recall if the hardboard is removable.

Doesn't seem like particle board. Probably hard woods. It's plenty sturdy. I do use coasters for drinks though.

I'm guessing it's solid wood. When putting it together each peice was heavy and it didn't look like composite wood. I hope this helps answer your question. We've had this for awhile now and it still looks brand new, nothing has peeled...

Definitely not particle board, but might be MDF with wood laminate. Hard to tell. Looks and feels like wood, though. It's very heavy (shipping weight is 63 lbs) and sturdy.

I am not sure but, to me it looks like a piece of plywood not pressed board.

As is typical of most mid level boards that I've been around, the bottom surface is hard/slick, the top surface has a thin foam laminate that feels like most boards of this type. Overall, the board is solid.

Its a form of slate, its still very heavy and durable. You level it at the legs and its very solid. I still have my table and it looks and plays like new still.

I have used as a work surface but haven't cut on it. It doesn't seem like it's really a butcher block. Just looks like a nice wooden surface. I do know it scratches like any wooden surface. It looks good though :)

why not? it is a hard wood. they have bamboo cutting boards. unless there is specific instuctions from the manufacturer stating otherwise.

It seems to be. It's heavy. It may be plywood with a veneer, but it isn't obviously a veneer and definitely isn't a plastic composite material. The underside of the tabletop is not stained and has visible wood grain.

I'm pretty sure it is some form of formica laminate, which means particle board or other cheap wood veneered with a hard laminate sheet. It is pretty durable unless you plan to use it as a cutting surface (e.g.: to cut stencils). In this case it will not work. It is washable and as other laminates it should take mild solvents and soap just fine. Hope it helps.

I don't consider it cardboard. I think it's "pressed board". It's a solid piece, just not as thick as the sides. It' s very well made. I'd buy it again.

Yes, this board my be used on either side. I had the same question when I ordered the board. There are no feet on this board, it's all flat cutting surface except for the trough on one side.

I am not sure, but it is not hardwoord. It seems like a composite because it is not flimsy like press board would be. I was very happy with it. It is heavy and is holding up great.
