Beautiful, but thin.

This board is 1/4" thick. It must be babied, no sitting in water. I've had mine for a few months now, oiled with with laxative grade mineral oil from the grocery store, and it still looks lovely. Mine shipped with a small chip between the handle and the edge, but hasn't continued splitting further. Looking forward to slicing and serving lightweight produce and dry appetizers on this in the upcoming years (hopefully)

Pros
  • Cookware
Cons
  • The edges of the cheese board may splinter, causing potential harm when handling

Read Measurements! for my opinion

Read measurements carefully! This picture is not true to size! The board is very nice, but not what I was expecting as I didn't pay enough attention to size and I was expecting one more like the picture. In truth it is long and slender! I'm worried that it won't be very useful in this size! We will see.

Pros
  • Cutting Boards
Cons
  • The natural wood may cause issues when working with dairy products such as cheese, as it may impart a woody taste or texture

but it is beautiful and I leave it out on my counter when .

This board is a lot thinner than I expected (my fault for not looking at the measurements), but it is beautiful and I leave it out on my counter when it's not being used. The color is beautiful and grain variation is beautiful! -- Would not recommend putting this in the dishwasher, however.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The board may harbor bacteria if not properly maintained and cleaned

Poor Quality - Looks Nice, But Won't Last.

I bought this for my father-in-law to replace an old cutting board that was starting to crack down the middle. The other board was about 5-years old and made out of cheap wood. I bought this one thinking it would be an upgrade. It arrived and I was impressed by the look and feel of it. Sturdy, but not heavy. I gave it a thorough oiling and let it sit overnight. After about a week of daily use, the cutting board had warped. It is now more of a cutting bowl. I don't know why this happened. It was

Pros
  • The Acacia Wood End Grain Cheese Board from the Calistoga Series by Ironwood Gourmet is a true showstopper. Its stunning design and unique end grain construction make it a statement piece in any kitchen or dining room
Cons
  • The board may not be ideal for individuals who prefer a more modern or sleek aesthetic in their kitchen or home decor

Fanastic for western knives, but too hard for japanese knives

This is my second one of these - I had one a few years ago that I completely destroyed when I refinished my cast iron pans and the wood became completely impregnated with iron filings. My bad. Got another one and I love it. A nice trade-off between the convenience of a plastic cutting mat and the solidity of an actual cutting board/block- it's small and light and thin so you can easily transport food after cutting.I will say this, however - because it's important to keep in mind. If you're…

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • The cheese board is not dishwasher safe, requiring time-consuming and laborious hand washing

Handy little board - my new review

We've had this board for several years, and it is still going strong. Because it is thin and easy to handle, it is our "go to" board. We also have a Boos board, and while we do use that one, we use this one a lot more because its not so heavy to maneuver, clean, etc. I've probably only oiled this thing a few times, and it has shown no signs of splitting, warping, or otherwise deteriorating. I was happy to see that Best Buy still carries it, as I'm here to order another one.

Pros
  • MEASUREMENTS: This Acacia wood board weighs 12.8 ounces and has dimensions of 0.25 x 8 x 15 inches.
Cons
  • The cheese board may not be suitable for outdoor use due to its susceptibility to the elements and moisture

Very Disappointed: my feedback

I only used it a small handful of times for a few months. I'd wash it and dry it immediately every time. I have two bigger cutting boards from this company and they both work well so I didn't expect anything less. Yesterday, I saw a crack in the board. I was disappointed to see it so soon. Then today, the board warped to the point where I can let my neighbor to spin the bottle with. I am very disappointed to say the least. I will be moving on with another brand should I need another end grain…

bad quality in my review

Warped badly the first day after wiping down with a wet cloth. Warp was to the point it was unusable, i just threw it away. Other than that it's fine.

Pros
  • Beautiful board! Exactly as pictured.
Cons
  • Horrible, don't buy this! Looks great terrible quality

Love it, You will too

I don't use it as often as I should. It seems to hold up to reasonable veg. chopping with chef knife. I recommend it. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • GET CREATIVE: In addition to being an excellent cutting board, this wooden board makes a great serving plate for charcuterie. Include cheese, olives, meats, bread, and more!
Cons
  • The cheese board may lose its natural look and feel after prolonged use

Not for regular use.

Nice but doesn't hold up. I've had mine for 4 months. Use it about once a week. Hand wash and wipe with butcher block oil once or twice a month. Its cracked/splitting. It probably won't last a year at the rate it's going. If you only play on using it a couple times a year it might work for you but definitely not for regular use.

Pros
  • ONE-OF-A-KIND: This cutting board is made from gorgeous acacia wood, known for its unique and natural contrasting patterns. This means every bowl is one of a kind, and just as individual as the person who owns it.
Cons
  • The wood of the cheese board can be prone to warping and cracking under certain conditions
