Extra Large End Grain Butcher Block Cutting Board [1.5" Thick]. Made of Teak Wood and Conditioned with Beeswax, Flaxseed Oil & Lemon Oil. 20" x 14" Chopping Board by Ziruma.

New revised review of replacement butcher block -I was promptly issued a refund and I would have been okay with it to continue another search for my kitchen block, but within hours the sellers support team proactively shipped a replacement block, which arrived in one piece 👌We have a busy cooking household and I am always in search of most durable and sustainable products to keep our kitchen functional at most optimal. A good butcher block is quintessential in the kitchen.I have been using it for a few days and I am very pleased that meets all expectations of a heavy duty butcher block for a heavy duty kitchen. The block is heavy and take well to all types of knife cuttings. Because it is hard woods knifes will need sharpening often, so be prepared for that. There are no chips, dings and dents or wraps on arrival and a few days use is proving well for the boards assembly.So far all is going pretty well with the block and with proper care I am sure we will have this in our home for a long while.Only request to seller - please consider a better packaging system for your beautiful products.The new boards arrived in two cardboard boxes but again there was no shock absorbing reinforcement with bubble wraps or anything.Old review of the broken block - I was very disappointed the board out of the box arrived broken in multiple place.Returned immediately and was issued refund.

I'm giving this item five stars even though it came damaged. I ordered this as a gift so it wasn't opened by the recipient within the return window, unfortunately. It was slightly warped and spins on the counter which feels unsafe. I contacted the seller hoping to exchange it, and after providing some information to them, they immediately issued a refund and gave me instructions on repairing the warp so we can still use it. It's a gorgeous cutting board and we are definitely going to try to repair it. It's so sturdy and looks lovely on the counter. I'm giving five stars for incredible customer service and would definitely buy from this seller again. They truly stand behind their products.

I did so much research before buying this board, I was using bamboo boards before this, and I have gorgeous Japanese knives that I take very good care of, and then I discovered that had I not been honing my knives before and after using them, they would actually be dull by now because of the bamboo boards I was using with them!! I had no idea, so I researched for weeks and discovered that Teakwood was the best for my knives to protect them, and then I found out that Ziruma was actually the best manufacturer to buy my board from, and so I did, and once my board arrived I was so happy with it, but it doesn't end there, I was able to actually start a conversation with Ziruma via text message because being so new I had many question about what I could and could not do, they were so awesome, answering all of my questions, helping me step by step, even asking me to send them pictures of the board in my kitchen! They assisted me every single step of the way and they still do, I actually have them on speed dial, for text that is. You will not go wrong with this board, it is not only beautiful, but their customer service is outstanding.

The board is very solid and heavy for its size which is what I hoped. My only issue is that is came a bit warped. It’s warped enough to where an anti slip pad or even a kitchen towel won’t keep it from spinning when in use. To keep from spinning I have to fold two kitchen towels to support the sides of the cutting board so that it stays stable and doesn’t move.Update: customer service contacted me and apologized for the discrepant board. They not only provided a refund in full, they sent a new cutting board and a container of cutting board wax treatment. I do believe this company takes pride in their products and after this superb above and beyond response to this issue I upgrade my rating from 3 to 5 stars!!!

The first one of these I received had damage on the surface. It looked like it had been banged with something. There were little shallow divots in one spot, though there was no damage to the packaging or box. The manufacturer should have noticed it before they sent it out.The replacement one I got has black streaks through the grain, almost like black mold. Three of the corners are angled the same, one looks much sharper. And there is a crack between two end pieces on the edge where it obviously not glued.Quality control is obviously lacking. If you get one of these, be sure to look it over very carefully. At this point, I'll be returning the replacement for a refund, and I'll be looking elsewhere for an end-grain board.
