Chop-N-Slice Series Rectangular Wooden Maple Cutting Board 18”x12” – 1.25” Thick, 8-lb Reversible Butcher Block with Eased Corners & Edge-Grain – Made in the USA

I debated this board for a while because of the price — but after using it, I can honestly say it’s worth every dollar. This board is substantial. It’s heavy, stable, and doesn’t slide around the counter at all. The craftsmanship is outstanding — smooth finish, solid construction, and clearly made to last for years, not months. This is not a decorative board pretending to be functional; it’s the real thing. Knives feel great on it, it’s gentle on blades, and it’s large enough to actually work on comfortably. I also appreciate that it arrived well-finished and ready to use with a little oil. Yes, it’s an investment — but if you cook regularly and want a board that won’t warp, crack, or need replacing, this is it. I’d rather buy one excellent board than multiple cheaper ones. If you’re on the fence: don’t be. This is a true professional-quality cutting board.

Love my wood cutting board, easy cleaning very good quality

I purchased the Boos cutting board in January of 2023. I read on how to "take care" of the board based upon the company's suggestions. I left it out on a granite countertop, not just for usage but also to avoid warping. They also recommended to use their oils and creams which I bought and used. Sounds stupid, but I never put it in the dishwasher, soaked or left it in water. I basically cleaned it with a minimal amount of water, soap and a sponge. Here we are almost 2 years later and the board is warped and splitting at 1 of the seams. I called Boos customer service and lets say their is very little service. The woman I spoke to seemed like I was bothering her and she indicated the warranty is not valid and indicated all the things I probably did or didn't do to preserve the integrity of the board. HUH??? I explained in detail that I followed ALL of their directions even the oils. What's worse I made a comment that I guess I will just trash it and she laughed and repeated the warranty is not valid. I don't expect anything for free or refund but what I did expect is to take ownership of a product that is either not made well or it defective, especially it can't uphold a sponge. Side note, after I purchased this board I purchased a different board from another company (nothing fancy or expensive) and guess what... it's still in excellent condition!! Sadly I will not buy, recommend or purchase the Boos board again.

Best cutting board I have ever owned. I'm 70 and cook a lot.

Kudo to John Boos. I bought this board 6 months ago and it was a good looking board, however, it started splitting along the glue joint. I contacted Boos and they sent me a replacment. What is interesting is that it is supposedly the same board, both are chop and slice models, but the new board is thicker (1-1/4" vs 1"), has beveled edges and finger notches that were missing on the original and looks to be much higher quality. I'm wondering if Amazon is selling a cheaper version then Boos sells on their web site.

Nice, smooth cutting board that will protect your knives very well. I have used this board for several weeks and it has survived all of the use with no issues at all. Before using I applied some mineral oil to it and repeated applications of oil, in between uses, has certainly helped protect the wooden board. This cutting board is the correct size for most uses - I use it to chop/slice vegetables and fruits only. For meat, I use a plastic cutting board as I can put it into a dishwasher for deep cleaning. I would not recommend using a wooden cutting board for any meat or fish as you cannot put it into a dishwasher. Cleanup after use is very easy - just rinse under the tap and then stand it on the edge to dry out. After every two or three uses, apply some mineral oil to all sides and that is it.

This board is a nice size and the quality is good.

Bought my board 12/1/2024 and use it several times a week. Wish I had read more reviews before purchase. Despite following care instructions to the letter, it developed a crack in the seam on one side. Although I like using the board (good surface area, nice to look at), I was hoping it would hold up much longer than this. The board is also heavier and clunkier than I prefer for my petite size and aging hands. Wirecutter may want to revisit their cutting board recommendations.

This is by far the best quality chopping board we have had so I am hoping we get many years of use from it. This particular model is the thinnest one listed on Amazon and personally I would not want to have it any thicker as it would become just a bit too heavy and awkward to handle. The same goes for the size and the next one up would be too big for our work surfaces and cupboards,

O produto empenou e descolou partes com poucos meses de uso. Não recomendo.

Pleased with it so far. Oiled and waxed it after taking it out of packaging. It’s been used everyday since. I went in with moderate expectations seeing some of the less favorable reviews about wood imperfections. My take - this is natural lumber and unfinished or unvarnished for its purpose as a chopping board. I’ll use it for meat , fish, and vegetables for daily meal prep. It’s not really a serving board per se though if you want you can serve hams and cheeses on it. I have smaller thinner finished wood boards for that dining table use. The surface is indeed unfinished/unvarnished but there are no splinters or visible fillers. Just a thin cream coating lightly at the factory I think. after using some days now I appreciate it for its natural raised wood texture. No obvious fillers, visible cracks or wood rot of any nature. But if it had a little I would just accept it as part of natural lumber products. It’s not veneer for sure. The edges are very flat, clean and sharp, no bevel. This isn’t an edge grain heirloom 2 inch butcher block in the boos line but for my use coming from an ikea propmatt and thinner unbranded Chinese made bamboo board of over 10 years, this is a big leap in luxury for the kitchen. I will oil and wax it as that is the nature of these wooden blocks as are any wood blocks if you care about these things. if not you can probably replace them when they don’t serve their function well. There are cheaper unbranded wooden boards in hardware stores. You’re buying and reading this review because you know what the boos name and brand heritage made in USA represents. In Singapore, machine dish washers are not common so that is not a problem in this part of the world. Hand washing is the standard. Bought the boos cream and oil as well but I imagine in the long run the ikea wood board oil will be adequate as well.

Requires some sanding and oiling.. but no cracks or serious problems. 😌

Not worth the price, used twice and sent back for a refund as board started to splinter.
