Very disappointed with this product. Did not look new and is of poor quality. Is awkward to handle and not well-balanced. The screw was not as pictured; it is a big knob that is frustratingly difficult to turn. I thought the handle would swivel to fold; it does not. You have to remove the screw completely, remove the handle, and then place two wooden pegs into two holes, and then put the screw back in.

I almost did not order this due to a reviewers complaint regarding the handle being difficult to swivel. I went ahead though due to the storability of the folding handle feature. Storability is a big factor for fulltime rvers.

I received the peel and found the screw very easy to turn due to the heavy large black plastic head. The handle has two sturdy dowel pins attached that are quite easy to line up and insert into the corresponding holes on the board. This is a safety feature that prevents the peel from accidentally swiveling while in use.

The peel is beautiful and very easy to use. The directions state it can be used as a serving tray but I would be reluctant to cut anything while on the tray and damage the beautiful smooth surface.

Of course it will work well for sliding pizza on the grill as well as sliding no knead bread dough into the oven.

We are very happy with this peel and finds it easy to use.

More attractive in person than even the pictures. Beautiful and functional. Folding handle allows it to fit in my cupboard

I ordered 2 of these because the sale price was what I was willing to pay. If you overlook the fact that the handle really does not actually swivel, it works fine. It might be because the two little dowels on mine are not equal sizes. One is twice as long as the other. The instruction states that you should be able to loosen the knob such that the handle will swivel, but the dowels don't actually release until the screw is completely free. Is this a big deal for me? Not really. It's not too hard to remove the handle and store it in 2 pieces. It would be more difficult to reattach it in the 'swivel' position as you have to line up the dowels, and do so blindly. I just leave it in one piece. If you are buying this thinking it will swivel easily, it will not. That said, it feels pretty sturdy, and it will do the job well.

Im not sure if the "knob" was missing or if we lost it but we had to screw the handle on because we could not find the knob thats supposed to be included. Works ok for pizzas under 12"

Ordered this item twice. The first time, one of the dowel plugs and the handle screw were missing. I returned this one for a refund and reordered (apparently my only recourse). The second time, the peel was wrapped with two empty parts bags...the handle screw was missing once again.

I'll have to deal with finding a screw at the hardware store, since I don't want to order this again. Beware the lack of quality control of this place!
