Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

PROS: The board is just the right size for everyday use and looks great. To sanitize, I use half a lemon or lime, dip into some salt and scrub the surface. Rinse with hot water and pat dry. CONS: Here's the bad news. You cannot see in the stock photo but the board has four very small pegs on each corner. These "grips" create a thin space between the board and the counter. Although the board does not slip, it causes the board to "bounce back" after each chop because it is not flush with the counter. I noticed it threw off my chopping "rhythm". Also, because of this gap - each chop is pretty loud. * I have uploaded a macro shot of one of the corners. I don't like to bother with returns so I've made this my back-up cutting board for when the family comes over to help prep a meal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8/2011 TIPS Place the board on top of a wet paper towel and it will keep the board in place better. Also keeps the chops from getting too loud. I also wanted to add a product recommendation based on feedback I received from this review. This is the cutting board we use on a daily basis. Oneida Cutting Board, 16-Inch, Green We found it as a local home goods for under ten dollars. It has rubber edges so it doesn't move around while chopping and if you choose to rest it against the back-splash, it stays put. I love the color. Even while prepping/chopping, the food looks great on top of these bright chopping boards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 UPDATE The board stains so easily. This is a back-up cutting board that is used rarely and yet it has a permanent stain in the center - while my main cutting board (The Oneida linked above) does not. The material is also very soft so the knife leaves deep grooves. I would not recommend this board. Lowered rating from 3 to 2 stars.
