Premium Organic Bamboo Wooden Chopping Board by Harcas. Extra Large Size Cutting Board 45cm x 30cm x 2cm. Best for Meat, Vegetables, Tapas and Cheese. Professional Grade for Durability. Drip Groove

Purchase May '23 - still perfectly flat, no distortion, no cracks or splits. It's in use almost every day, for all the usual suspects - onions, carrots, turnip, leeks, parsnip etc etc - so does get some heavy duty cutting from some very sharp knives - but it's still solid. It does get washed after every use - just hot soapy water in the sink, then stood up on end to drain and dry - would never leave it to just soak. If ever needed, would happily buy another - although now coming up to 3yrs daily use, doubt I'll ever need to....

Good size. The quality was really good.

This is a good heavy chunk of wood and the perfect size for preparing food. It has some cuts in it now buty fine to use food safe anti bacterial cleaner on it. I think its very good value for money.

it is lovely chopping board. heavy and sturdy.well made. it will last for years.

I was pleasantly surprised as this product is way better in real life than on the picture. I bought this chopping board for myself and my girlfriend as we Love cooking, so I thought this would be the perfect gift for Us. The chopping board is very attractive and I leave mine on the counter all the time - because it looks great. Pros: + Easy to clean. To keep your cutting board clean - Wash it with warm soapy water after each use. + Easy to maintain. Though it is easy to maintain and easy to clean - Like wood, it requires periodic oiling, to prevent the bamboo from drying out. Otherwise, with time, it will lead to splits and cracks if the cutting board is used for a long time. + Hard and Durable. Bamboo is a remarkably tough material which means it can handle tough and frequent cutting jobs. + Beautiful Appearance. It gives a clean, attractive and elegant look to your kitchen and blends perfectly with any kitchen décor. + Eco-friendly. Bamboo is natural and 100% biodegradable. It is considered to be Eco-friendly and can easily be made from a material that is not damaging the environment. + Extra Large size. Cons: - Its hardness makes it tough on knives, causing regular blunting of knives (I do not consider this significant enough to deduct a star). Overall, you won't regret investing in this wonderful, good quality, very well made cutting board.. Just check it out and thank me later :D

Bought this due to doing alot of vegetable and fruit preparing due to health concerns. It is large so plenty of space to cut, peel etc. Wood is still good with no gauges, or cut marks on it. Food stays on the board. Easy to use. Easy to clean!

It's been about 2 and a half months of near daily usage now and I'm entirely satisfied with the purchase. It arrived promptly upon ordering and was well packaged - no budget store natty plastic or worn seams. The size is really ideal, I had a cheeseboard sized chopping board that was fine when I didn't really cook. But much like the other new home cooks post lockdown I needed a bigger surface to work with. I imagine the bamboo is why it doesn't have as dense a feel, not that it's too light and flimsy either, as traditional thick wooden chopping blocks. This means it's relatively painless on the dainty wrists to haul about the kitchen. It has a smooth surface that granted did near immediately start to show the nick marks and etches from knife usage (as others have posted) but it hasn't been anything drastic. Granted it's mostly been cutting vegetables and though it etches easily it doesn't mean a sharp knife has cut a large groove through it yet. The only grooves thus far are those along the edges to catch meat juices and other detritus I imagine. Wish they were pushed out a tad bit closer to the edges but it's nitpicking at this point. I haven't yet found the need to oil it in any manner but I have been careful to dry it soon after washing with soap and water. The indents cut on the two sides help avoid the fingernail tormenting dilemma of having to pry the board off the table. Overall for the price it's absolutely a solid option I'm gladly using and don't think others would mind either. I will add again though, I'm clearly still a novice at cooking but it's been serviceable for me.

I really am impressed with this board! I had been using colour coded plastic boards but they have become scratched and I was ready for something new. This is a lovely big board and I am using it for everything except raw meat - personal preference. It’s easy to clean and looks so nice that you can keep it out on the worktop. It can slide around a bit but I’ve found this with every chopping board I’ve ever had so I always put a damp dishcloth underneath to stop it moving around when in use. Arrived well packaged and on time. Would recommended.
