Ordered this about a month ago. It was intended to cover 1/2 of a double sink for extra work area. I was very surprised at the quality. VERY heavy duty and meant for long life and durability. I liked this Item so much, I ordered a second one today to use as a workboard on another counter. The packing was awesome. The only suggestion is if they could find a substitute for the massive amount of "puff foam" that is non-recylable.

I wasn't sure what to expect quality wise considering I paid under 70$ but it arrived today and I am very impressed, the stone is polished to perfection, the coloration is gorgeous and it's incredibly heavy, which I like because now I won't have to worry about my work surface shifting while rolling out doughs. The only difference between mine and the one in the picture other than obviously being a different piece of stone, is mine has sharp corners and the one in the picture has rounded. Tips for prospective buyers: this is not a cutting board, it is a pastry board so don't use knives on it (I'm sure cookie cutters are fine, but no sharp blades. with a little TLC this item will last generations). If you don't think it's cool enough just chill it in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
EDIT: just wanted to add on, that I used this board for a particular candy recipe which requires pouring 260 degree liquid onto a FROZEN marble board, to be honest I was TERRIFIED that the thing would explode from the temp differences, but it did just fine!

As one customer noted, the packaging was formidable but very essential as it turned out. The outer carton (one out of three) was badly damaged. Had it not been for the inner styrofoam package this item would have been destroyed. The item itself came in perfect condition and is an excellent value for the price.

I'm not sure if the these slabs are forwarded to us directly without inspection by this seller on Amazon, but I did receive mine with a small chip on one of the sides. Obviously the chipping occurred before packaging since the missing chunk was not included in the adequate packaging which pretty much seals the board. It doesn't seem like a good idea to use knives on this surface and it makes me cringe when I read about people doing so. It's a *pastry* board. People also need to beware that it's (a) very heavy and (b) slippery when wet. If you have critters and/or children underfoot, take extra care when handling this slab. If you're accident prone buy some steel-toed shoes.

Was not happy with this purchase...ThE MRBLE BOARD IS NOT POLISHED HAS ALOT OF SCRATCHES ON IT ALSO INDENT IN ONE AREA..DOES NOT SIT EVENLY ON COUNTER...IM SORRY i ORDERED IT

I really love this pastry board. I bought it for my partner, who does the baking and he loves it. It keeps it temperature very nicely, and it is HEAVY! He chills it in the fridge, and then works with it. It cleans up nicely, and it has little rubber buttons on the bottom that prevent it from scratch the counter or moving around. Really substantial piece of kitchen equiptment. I highly recommend it! And it is beautiful.

This item was much thicker and heavier than I expected. It is perfect for rolling out pastries. It is easily cleaned by running a wide kitchen scrapper blade across it.

My marble cutting board arrived in perfect condition! The finish is wounderful, the edges are softley rounded and the veining is beautiful. A perfect match to my rolling pin. I am very pleased with my husbands purchase, this is my christmas presant.

Like it a lot. Fits in the cupboard perfectly. It is certainly heavy enough but not too heavy to use easily. I like the feet on it, keeps it from moving around during use

I was so excited when I bought this board...I consider myself to be a careful person and take good care of my belongings. This board has chipped, stained and the shiny finish it came with disappeared shortly after I put it on my kitchen counter. I clean it every night when I'm doing the dishes and cannot get the shine to come back. We've never cut on it or placed hot items on it, but it's stained and nothing I've used to get the shine back has worked.
