Motley Cutting Board | Reversible Walnut, Cherry, & Maple Edge Grain Cutting Board for Kitchen with Crackerwell for Charcuterie | Gift Box Included | 17x13x1.1 in

What a great cutting board!! The first thing to know is that a natural wood cutting board requires maintenance including regular oiling with food grade mineral oil and/or board butter. It also requires you to train other humans in your home that the board must always be hand washed, towel dried, and left to air dry. Never, never, ever should it be left in the sink under (or partially under) water or go in the dishwasher because water, and especially the dishwasher, are destroyers of wood. This board is substantial so it sits firmly on the counter without moving or spinning. The grooves on the side make moving the board super easy. The cutting surface is super smooth although it has scratched a bit over the past 4-6 months of fairly regular use. I don’t see this as a negative because the board is wood and I use sharp knives. It is large enough to prep multiple items at one time. The little pockets on one side are nice to keep small quantities of herbs and veggies separated during meal prep. The board is beautiful and it doubles as a charcuterie board and the little pockets are great to hold whatever goodies we are serving. It is also too large to be dumped in the sink and left to drown, which is good for it’s longevity. I have had zero problems with warping or splitting because I have trained the other humans at my house to never put the board in the dishwasher and take time to maintain it.

This cutting board is fantastic! It’s thick, sturdy, and really durable—perfect for heavy chopping and everyday use. I love that it’s dual-sided. The size is generous, giving plenty of workspace without taking up too much counter space. It feels high-quality and doesn’t slip while I’m using it, which makes prep work so much easier. Overall, this cutting board has become my go-to in the kitchen. Strong, versatile, and built to last.

This cutting board is amazing, never leavves my counter. Smooth, scratch resistanct and looks great. I just add mineral oil ever few weeks and looks good as new. One word of caution - use a nonstick pad or similar underneath it to prevent it from sliding around on your counter. Do not use a wet paper towel, it will warp if left on it. Mine warped pretty badly as a result, but I soaked it down and place several kettlebells on the board while on the countertop. In 48 hours, it was perfectly flat again.

As a retired chef I'm picky when it comes to what type of chopping board I like to use for food prep. Wood boards are my preferred choice for home use and this walnut end grain board is such a pleasure to cut on and looks beautiful on my kitchen counter. Size is perfect for everyday use, big enough for prep work but still fits in my sink for ease of cleaning. Note: For carving roasts or whole chickens you would want a larger board. I oil it every 2 weeks and never submerge it in water, which is a must with this type of board...if taken care of diligently, it should last for many years of use.

This SonderLA Highland Extra Large teakwood cutting board arrived in a nice factory soft foam lined box packed in an Amazon shipping box. It arrived without defect or any warping and undamaged. It measures exactly as advertised at 23"x17"x1.5". The package stated designed in California made in China. It is a big and heavy cutting board and really nice and good quality, expecially for the $87 price delivered. When it arrived, although it states on the SonderLA website it was pre-oiled at the factory, it seemed a little dry so I purchased food grade mineral oil/with natural waxes from the local hardware store and oiled both sides of the board overnight prior to use. It did not absorb the oil too quickly so I don't believe it was too dry, but SonderLA recommends applying oil before first use and I recommend it too. The cutting board turned out awesome, for the price a great purchase. Pics of the board after oiling attached.

So far, I love this cutting board. It's size is great (large, but still fits in the sink to clean and drain/dry) and it's wood tones are beautiful. I did treat it with mineral oil before getting started. Can't give it 5 stars because I don't know how it will hold up over time. Also, the built in trays are handy.

I purchased the 20"x15"x1.5" Franklin Black Walnut Edge Grain Cutting Board. I was very reluctant to purchase this on Amazon, a brand I wasn't familiar with, but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It arrived in a very nice protective padded box and in perfect beautiful condition. It's a beautiful cutting / carving board, almost too beautiful to use. I love that both sides can be used for different things, carving or chopping on one side, and rolling dough or serving a charcuterie display on the other side, for example. I love that each corner has small, taking up little space, rubber feet on both sides of the board to keep it from sliding which will make it easier to use especially while rolling out dough. I love that the juice groves are closer to the edge of the board which leaves more workspace on the board. I absolutely love that it was made in the USA! Did I mention how beautiful this board was? I can't say enough good things about this item. So far, all I see is high quality. I'm hopeful that over time with the right care it will continue to prove its quality. My first purchase for a similar size carving board was a week ago. I purchased a JK Adams 20"x14" maple board from Bloomingdales. First, It was wrapped in clear plastic cellophane, not nearly as nice as this Sonder board in the beautiful box. Second, between the juice groves being carved so far from the edge and the goves being so wide, the JK Adams 20"X14" board only left a 14.5"x9.5" workspace. Ridiculous. Not to mention there was a hole in the corner of the board which I'm guessing was to either hang the board or be able to pull it out easier, which took up more work space on the board. The handles on the JK Adams were carved slanted into the sides to make it easier to carry were carved all the way into the space on the opposite side of the board leaving the backside of the board workspace again, very limited. There was nothing to like about that board. I knew in 2 minutes I would be returning it and that's when I searched Amazon and found the Sonder board. I'm so glad I did! The Sonder board seems like a much better quality on every level, it's much more beautiful too, and certainly designed much better for workspace and safety. JK Adams cutting board was a huge disappointment. For those of you looking for a quality board, this is it! It would also make a wonderful gift especially when presented in the box in comes in. Comes with a 1 year warranty. I don't think I ever wrote a review this extensive but this cutting board was certainly worthy the time!

This cutting board is absolutely beautiful! Great craftsmanship, size, and quality walnut. I originally bought one for myself late 2025 and loved it so much that I bought another one for partner's birthday. Even if you never use it, it's a great accent to any kitchen and I guarantee your guests will be completely enamored with it.
