AVIGNON HOME Large End Grain Wooden Cutting Board Chopping Boards for Kitchen, Butcher Block Countertop, Prep Station, Serving Platter, Charcuterie Board 15 Inches x 12 Inches x 2.4 Inches

11/25/18 I've been using for about 1 month now. During that time, after I cleaned the board, i put a little olive oil on the top. Since I use the board almost daily and wash it after every use, I'm not worried about the oil becoming rancid. Now about my review below. Yes, the board will get cuts in it, Yes, the board needs to be oiled. I was thinking that I way overpaid for a just a cutting board, but at Thanksgiving a relative cut up sausage and cheese on the board, and asked where she should put the cut up items. Then she said, let's just leave them on the board, it looks so beautiful and has handles for me to carry. So 1 to 4 Stars.11/3/18 Purchased in October for my new house. Didn't get a chance to use until a week ago, when we moved in. I used it to separate the wings from the breasts, and drumsticks from the thighs on a chicken that was otherwise pre-cut. After using I immediately washed with mild soapy dish cloth and then dried with a towel. There are deep cut marks in the wood, and it looks very dull after just one use. Buy a less expensive board, this one is way overpriced!

I don’t write many reviews and I probably should since I rely on them when shopping for an item but, I felt there weren’t enough good reviews for this cutting board. I can be pretty critical when it comes to something I purchase and I only read a couple reviews before I bought it because I was in a hurry and I really liked the way it looked, the thickness and that it is an end grain cutting board. It wasn’t until after It had been shipped that I’d read less favorable reviews and started to regret purchasing it. It took almost 3 weeks for delivery. I do live in Alaska but, that’s still a long time. It was shipped and packed well and delivered in excellent condition. It came in a nice box and when taken out I didn’t know what to expect based on all the mixed reviews but, WOW WOW WOW what a beautiful butchers block. I’ve had it over 3 weeks now and used it almost everyday. There are some cut marks in it but, isn’t that to be expected? When I received it I put olive oil on it and all the beautiful, different shades of wood really came through. This is a great cutting board/butchers block and should last a long time. I’m very happy I purchased it.

So the board looks awesome! Highly recommend buying some mineral oil at the same time as the board if you don't have any. You will need to oil this board at least once a week for it to stay really nice. Mine had a little bit of glue that I had to sand down. It wasn't putty, maybe wood glue? I don't know, I just quickly sanded it down, washed it, oiled it and it looks fine. Can't expect a perfect Artisan cutting board when it's a mass produced item from Chinas and is less than $100 bucks.

This is a quality and hefty piece of wood. I like how thick it is. The rubber feet provide stability and dampens sounds. The surface is even, smooth, and only very mildly shiny. The wood is not thickly plastered with glaze like brand new hardwood flooring in a rental apartment. If oiling the board with some regularity is too much trouble for you, you shouldn't buy this, because sooner or later it will start to soak water and begin to crack apart. In fact, if you won't bother to oil the wood regularly you shouldn't be buying any wooden cutting board.

Like most other reviewers, I spent many hours looking for a great board and think I found it in this one. While the first board I received had a putty filled 1” hole on the worksurface, amazon quickly refunded my money and sent another. Both boards that I received were otherwise in good shape and the wood was not that thirsty. Following the initial washing and oiling instructions, the board has taken on deep, rich tones that are stunning. I’ve been most surprised that smells from onions and other pungent veggies wash off with hot soapy water, and I keep mineral oil nearby to keep the wood moisturized. Best of board does not dull my custom made knives I bought in Italy, and I don’t have to press as hard to get clean cuts. Highly recommend this board.

Very thick and substantial cutting board. Doesnt look as good as i thought it would from the pictures but by no means ugly.Not sure when this board was produced but it was dry, very, very dry. I can imagine if not properly oiled it would crack or split very easily. The wood looked ashen when it arrived. After a couple days of intermittently applying mineral oil. The board looks rich and the grain popped out. Hopefully it will be more resistant to cracking.

I purchased this about two months ago and ONLY handwashed it ever since I got it.... and this is what I got. A giant crack and the whole board is bending downward. I have no choice but to throw it out. It is a nice cutting board and very thick, but the glue that holds everything together is not durable.

First impression, it's perfect. So far everyone has been really impressed by the quality (especially for the price).What I love, is that the grain is perfectly smooth. I got this one to replace a brand new bamboo board. The grain of the bamboo board was rough and I didn't trust it with food.This board is a dream so far. Crossing my fingers it lasts for a long time. The thickness will really help to prevent warping and cracking if used maintained correctly.
