This cutting board is a serious piece of junk. Lasted about a week before it broke in two pieces. I can see it splitting in a couple other spots also. Beware

I would be returning this item except for the fact that I received it free with another purchase. Even though it has not been soaked in water but only rinsed and dried, it has warped to the point you can't use it because it wobbles so and has split in several places.

I wish I'd read the previous reviews! I ordered this for $14.99 as a "bottom of the page special" and it's going back. It is not two inches thick as described, but 3/4". What a disappointment! And now I see that the regular price has been changed from $25 to $40. YIKES! Don't bother...

I purchased this board with a set of Wüsthof knives. The knives were excellent - I have since purchased more - but the board was a disaster. It warped almost immediately - hardly surprising perhaps as it is thin. Quite possibly I did not care for it properly, for example by oiling it or whatever, but then again there were no instructions included relating to any necessity for that sort of treatment.

I would by a butcher's block in future, rather than one of these things. As a general chopping platform I would suggest going for a good quality plastic board, as it will not dull your knives nor be a pain to look after.

It's a butcher-block type wooden cutting board (smallish.) There's nothing wrong with it, but you can buy an equally serviceable wooden cutting board for $5 or $10 at your local Kmart, Walmart, or for perhaps a bit more at your local kitchen store.

So do that, and spend the difference on getting one more knife in your set, or a few essential kitchen gadgets.

I am on my second one of these, which I received free with the purchase of Wusthof knives. The first started to separate after only one week of use. Don't buy it.

Hello there,
I bought this board for $10 from Broadway Panhandler, and it's working out great. I wonder if the other reviewers have properly cared for their board--I oiled it with mineral oil every day for one week before using it, and then once a week for a month. For maintenance after that, you should oil your board once a month. Any wood board will crack if not properly oiled, so maybe that's the problem...? I like the board because I have a very small kitchen with little space, and it's small enough and thin enough to fit just about anywhere.

I love my Wusthof knives so I was surprised when this board started splitting on me and has continued to since... what a disappointment. stay away from this board

It arrived with a hairline crack, which I stupidly ignored. I never soaked it or left it wet or unwashed, took good care of it, and now the crack is a chasm. oh well.....

And it will not warp, as another reviewer mentioned. There ARE instructions, they are on the little label sticker, though I can understand how they could be missed. I haven't even oiled mine, and it isn't warped or cracked. You can't dishwash it or soak it (also mentioned on the label) so that may be the cause of some people's cracking. I air dry it, lying it face down against any minor warping and this helps as well.

That said, it is too much work, and I would be skeptical of using it on meat due to not being able to as thoroughly wash it and to the cracks/seams. Glad it was free.
