This is decent medium to small cutting board. The board is 14"x10"x1"h. The board lacks a channel so a towel or other absorbent base is needed when cutting "juicy" food.

I give this cutting board 4 stars because the price is little to charge for a 1" thick birch "double head" Henckels board.

I always apply a generous dosage of food grade mineral oil to all my wooden cutting boards and I never place wooden cutting boards in a dishwasher. Under these conditions I have found this board both durable and attractive.

I have different cutting boards for different size jobs and also for different types of foods. For cutting vegetables this board has become a favorite of mine and if the board starts getting full I simply unload some of the contents to another boards and continue cutting.

The only major problem with the cutting board is the lack of a channel to catch juice when slicing various meats..etc.

The board is great for cutting drier foods. ie. Cheese

Henckels produces two main lines of products the trademarked single twin and the also trademarked double twin. The products made in the United States especially the cutlery is the lower quality line. These are marked with the single twin. The line made either in Soligen, Germary or another European Country is the higher quality (professional chef quality)line. This line is marked with the double twin. So when buying Henckels products look for the double twin.

This is inexpensive, a great size for everyday tasks like making a sandwich, and the rubber feet prevent it from moving. After about one year of use, it is beginning to very slightly pull apart at the seams, but overall I am happy.

Nice size for a cutting board. Solid construction. Rubber pegs on the corners to give the cutting board some traction. Great for cutting meat or vegetables. I am using this to replace a plastic cutting board that was way to large. This cutting board is small enough to fit on a small counter and has a nice feel when you are using your Henckels knives!

It could be made of higher quality wood but for the price what more can you expect!

Cheap, yes, namebrand, yes, but this cutting board splits apart, causing unhygenic gaps where food can accumulate. Look elwhere for better quality. not recommended.

I am really pleased with this cutting board. The wood grain is really attractive. I din't realize it would have little feet on one side, which is fine, but you can't turn it over and use both sides.

This is too small, unless you're cutting a single clove of garlic. When slicing an onion, half of it will fall off the edges and onto the counter or floor, leaving a big mess. Unless you're cutting a single item at a time, and have no counterspace, find something a bit larger.

I am a big fan of Henckels products, but I should have paid attention to the other reviews. I just opened up the box and pulled the cutting board out to find that it was warped. I can only hope that after use/ washing that it doesn't get worse. Also, the rubber pegs are stapled onto the cutting board which I thought to be a bit tacky. Overall, you get what you pay for and I indeed received a 10.00 product.

*** Updated *** This cutting board is a huge disappointment. I owned this board all of 2 weeks before it (no kidding) fell apart. It was an impressive board by first impression. Save your money. I knew Henkels recently began making low end items, but never this cheaply made. I am now a "Never Again" buyer of Henkels. Shop around. This is an update of my previous (first impression) of this product. Previous "5 Star" review was as follows:

I have to say I really like this board. It's a very simple board with nice thickness and rubber feet. It is a perfect size unless you are preparing food for more than say, four guests. The price is unbeatable. (...)I recommend it fully.

This board is a great value I think. Nice solid feel. It is getting a bad wrap for its size but it is big enough for most prep work. Also has 4 nice rubber tips on the bottom. It fits well in the top kitchen drawer ready to go unlike many bigger boards.
