Erreke Extra Large End Grain Teak Wood Cutting Board, 23x15x1.3 in, High Durability Big Size, Non-Slip Feet, Juice Groove, Chopping or Serving Meat Cheese Bread, Gift Box included

it’s amazing and when you oil it all the scratches goes away

Just unwrapped the cutting board to oil before first use and discovered that it has a crack that starts in one side and runs over to the other. The edge along the side that is cracked is also not finished in the same smoothe manner as the rest of the board. Pretty disappointing to have this experience brand new out of box. Will now have to go through the inconvenient process of returning for a refund. INSPECT YOUR PRODUCTS WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB!

I really like the appearance and workmanship of this essential accessory. One side has juice channels for wet work while the reverse side has none. Whichever side you prefer, be sure to apply a layer of cooking oil on the surface and let it sit for a few hours before wiping away any excess. This is something you should do in accordance to how much you use it. As with cast iron cooking utensils, avoid using dish soap or other things that might seep into the grain of the wood. This should last you a lifetime with a minimum of care.

Shipping: The package was shipped UPS and arrived a few hours earlier than expected. It came in a large flat box, and inside was the "gift box" that contained the cutting board. The gift box was pristine, so the cutting board was delivered in perfect condition.Unboxing: The gift box is really just a nice cardboard container for the board, nothing special. The board itself was sealed in clear plastic, and upon removing it there was NO noticable odor. In reviews of other boards, some have complained of a strong chemical smell. That is not the case here.The rubber feet were already attached, something that I personally would've wanted to have the option to install or not. Some people like to use both sides of their boards (one for cutting, the other for presenting) but they're easily removable with a Phillips head screwdriver (which might come in handy, see below)There's a label on the plastic that directs you to the manufacturer's website for initial care instructions. This page is in Spanish, since the company is based in Brazil, but can be translated to English (or preferred language) easily using Chrome.They recommend a light wash and a few coats of food grade mineral oil prior to the first use, so don't plan on using the board for the first day or two after receiving it. Then it's just a light wash with mild soap after each use and a monthly oil coat. It's not a lot, but if you follow these directions the board should last over a decade.Initial impression: The craftsmanship exceeded my expectations for this price point. If you'll look closely at the pattern, you'll notice the pieces are offset just enough so that the horizonal seams don't align. This is very important for the board's structural integrity. It's less likely to break across that direction when pressure is applied.My board had a slight wobble when placed on a flat surface. That's not entirely unexpected for a board of this size. Even if it were made from a single piece of a wood, a minor warp would exist and it would wobble. The solution here is to simply remove a rubber stand and place a flat washer under it before reinstalling.The grain and pattern selection is absolutely stunning! I can't stop looking at this board, and I'm sure it'll be a conversation piece when used as a charcuterie platter. I still can't believe you can get a teak end grain board this size for this price.**ONE MONTH LATER**I've added three additional pics, and they speak for themselves. I've used this board every day for a month and its not even scratched. It still looks brand new! I'm blown away at how well this board looks and performs for the price.

The chopping board arrived on time, it is beautiful but more than that, it does the job. It also feels gentle on the knives.

Tutto ok. A+++
