I had to return the bamboo part of this order because it split in half the second time I used it. After returning it to the manufacturer and waiting and emailing for about 3 weeks this is the reply I finally recieved:
"When you mail something in to us, upon receipt of it, there is a 4-6 week turn around time.

Your item was found to be defective and is being replaced. This is your order number 2345938.

It is common to suggest within 3 business weeks of receipt, to then hear something."

Not even a "We are sorry for the inconvience letter" It cost me $5.00 to ship it back to them!

Unless you are after the Henckels name, this item is not worth much. It's too small to be used for anything, and the silicone pot holder is ... there are better ones out there, with magnets, for example.

This is not really a cutting board, but a very high density bamboo "sandwich board" for building and cutting sandwiches and for slicing and serving cheeses, along with the best silicone hot pad I've ever seen or used.

When building a sandwich, the only time a knife hits the board is to slice the sandwich and that is just what this board is for. It is extremely convenient and it is easy to throw onto the kitchen table or counter to prep the sandwiches while the kids wait. We also take it on picnics.

The hot pad is thick enough to easily protect any delicate surface from hot pots, but it is also flexible enough that I often grab it to pull heavy pans from the oven. It also goes out to the gas grill and on picnics because I don't want to take my wife's good quilted hot gloves and hot pads outside. Obviously, this is easy to clean in the sink or even in the dishwasher.

Note that the bamboo "sandwich board" also doubles as a wooden trivet, because it is thick enough and dense enough that it doesn't scorch (I tested this ... accidentally ... and it worked great).

In short, two extremely useful, handy items for next to nothing in cost. I love it.
