Hey, can this be used as a cutting board too ?

Yes it can! I got it to protect my new glass top stove and to use as extra counter space....I love mine...money well spent!

Actually, it can. What I did was to turn the cutting board over and chop on that side. This way, the front can be used for measurements, sand its' nice and clean. :O)

You CAN use the reverse side as a cutting board. It is high quality wood, but you surely would not want to mar the front display side with knife marks! Better idea....if you don't have a good size working space, put this board on a table or counter with the back side up and then use those "flexible" plastic type cutting surfaces on top of it. Since I have purchased those thin flexible "cutting boards" I never use wooden boards but this would provide a good underneath work surface!

Possible! To be safe place a wood cutting board underneath to protect your table.

Yes. I don't use it like a traditional cutting board; it would scare. I use it to protect my cabinets.

You could but I would not recommend it, this is more for pastry and dough then it is for cutting.

I would say yes. I have cut the 2-ply chip board with it and that was what I bought it for and it has done well.

Like the others said, cutting board would probably be best for food prep. Its just a stainless steel top.

I sent mine back about a year ago because it showed up completely busted, so I'm working on memory here. I think it would be possible, but not pretty. It is cardboard covered with the faux leather material. Anywhere you cut, the cardboard would be exposed. In my case, all the corners were already split open showing the inner board when they were delivered.

Easy to clean - but I wouldn't use it as a cutting board. I only use it for pastries. But it is pretty heavy (and fragile), so be careful cleaning it.

It will scratch it just won't scratch as easily. I wouldn't use it as a cutting board. But as Bar top finishes go it is excellent.

I would not use it as a cutting board. It looks and feels like it is finished with some kind of hard sealant, unknown whether chips of which would contaminate food. If you use it as a cutting board, you will inevitably eat some of it. But let's assume it is finished with a food-safe finish, I still wouldn't use it as a cutting board. It's a pretty and a useful table, and I wouldn't want to mar it up. I personally use a piece of oil cloth to cover it, and then put a cutting board on that. But I'm an old guy born of humble beginnings, so I take good care of my stuff. Hope this helps.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

Personally I would not use the top for a cutting board--especially considering the vast variety of cutting boards available in styles, sizes and prices--I think the wood a touch too soft for that use, though I believe it could be used in such a fashion. I purchased a cutting board that fits over the top like it belongs there.

I guess you could use it for food, but I wouldn't. It's a cutting mat for materials and while it is self-healing, I wouldn't count on it for keeping out bacteria.

We have this model, which is probably why this popped into my email... The top has a shellac coating. I would NOT advise using it as a cutting board- it looks questionable in the photo, but is really not a butcher block style top.

It makes a great cutting board, I made my wife a cabinet with cutting board with it. It also has a food grade finish on it.

No. Has just the right amount of give. This board was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, and ranked the best for a non wood cutting board. I've had mine for a few months now, and love it.

I don't see why not. It is like a very thin wood veneer. Came on a roll, so it is flexible and easy to cut with regular scissors. Hope this helps.
