This is a nice product. It gets the job done. I have to disagree with the one reviewer. The description plainly states that the board is made of polyethylene. The midnight granite signifies the color.
For $9.99, 14x17 is a great price.

I'm a software engineer by trade, and I play a lot of PC games (mostly first-person shooters), so I spend a lot of time pushing my computer's mouse around. I've spent (literally) hundreds of dollars trying to find the best/smoothest/lowest friction mouse pad available (some gaming mouse pads can cost $40-$50). I spotted this "cutting board" at Target while shopping and thought it might make a decent hard mouse pad (at a fraction of the price). I was right... the friction (using either Logitech MX Revolution or Razer Copperhead mouse) is as low as any mouse pad I've ever used, and the tracking is excellent (using the "Midnight Granite" color cutting board). This thing is HUGE for a mouse pad, which is good because it gives me extra movement (handy when sniping in TF2). The large size is also nice because if necessary it could easily be cut with a power or hand saw to whatever size/shape you need. If you like a smaller mouse pad, there's a smaller (and less expensive) version of this cutting board available. I've been using this for a couple weeks now, and there is absolutely no sign of wear on it. If it does ever get worn down (which I doubt it will), I'll just flip it over and use the other side (which has the same textured surface). The surface is textured just like some of the high-priced hard plastic gaming pads. As a bonus, the speckled black granite finish looks good, too!

I'm very pleased with this cutting board - it is functional and washes well. I leave it sitting on my counter at all times because it's also attractive. The 'Granite' used in the product description is simply referring to the color and look of the board, not the material it's made from. It clearly states in the description that it's constructed of plastic material. A great board for a great price!

This cutting board is very nice. It is sturdy and light-weight. No, the cutting board is not granite, but it DOES say in the description that it is a polyethylene board. Perhaps people should pay more attention to things that they read.

the board looks like I wanted it to - but does show cut marks and doesn't sit flat on the counter -

I recieved this cutting board as a wedding gift. It's strong enough to beat pork chops in to tenderloins, yet light enough to toss in the dishwasher. I love it!

This is beautiful...I love it!!! Good size and does not show stains from food ..

This board works perfectly for my intended use. I'm always looking for attractive and simple ways to present fun novelty cakes. A cake can be decorated directly on this board, since it has no rims to interfere, and cakes cut on it beautifully. The speckled black is an interesting background for many themes.

I'm pretty pleased with this cutting board so far. It does show cut marks, as other reviews point out, but (at least with me), they're really only visible when the cutting board isn't clean. After I wipe it down with a sponge, it looks great again.

There are no pads on the bottom of this board so it's slides on my granite counters. I bought stick-on pads but they came off the board.

The black is really nice but gets scratched quickly and then looks awful. The board is too big to go in the dishwasher which means some food smells can linger.

Amazon purchases are generally hits for me...this one was a definitive bust
