SMIRLY Acacia Wood Cutting Boards for Kitchen - Wood Cutting Board for Meal Prep, Serving, Charcuterie - Kitchen Gadgets, House Warming Gifts - Wooden Chopping Board Set of 3

Updated 2023: I wanted to update my review, a year after purchase. Let me start with a few caveats: I'm not a professional chef, but I'm a darn good amateur. The entire past year I've been working on my knife skills, which means a LOT of chopping, so my cutting boards have been put through a lot of (ab)use. I'm not very disciplined about doing the required maintenance of wooden cutting boards (which takes days when done properly), but I've completed that cycle with this board about three times over the past year. Here's my advice: If you're on the fence about this board because of the price, just BUY IT. I cannot believe how well it has held up to my high usage over the past year. I prepare 90% of our meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) at home, so I use my cutting boards A LOT. I stick by my original advice to immediately "season" this board by washing, drying, oiling, and waxing (allow 24 hours between each step) because it has made a tremendous difference in the performance and longevity of this board. In fact, you may need to repeat the oiling step twice when you're first seasoning this - but it will be worth the wait. I rotate this board with a vaunted Boos Block (which has already started to split, but then again I live in a dry climate, and...see above regarding my laxity in seasoning the boards), and this walnut board has held up much better than the Boos Block. Yes, this walnut board shows a lot of knife marks. What would you expect with a cutting board? But it has not split or warped, and considering how much I use it I think it's in fantastic shape. The first pair of photos shows the board when new. The second pair of photos shows the board after 11 months of high usage, as I'm starting the seasoning process (which is why it looks dry). Like I said: Just buy it. You won't regret it. Heck, I think I'm going to buy another one! PS: I have not been compensated in any way for this review. I'm just an enthusiastic home chef who wants to share my experience with others. ORIGINAL REVIEW 2022: This cutting board set feels like a good value to me, regardless of whether or not it's real walnut. First, it comes beautifully packaged. Second, the size is perfect. I'm a home chef for two, and this size is ideal for me for mise en place, even when I'm prepping lots of stir fry vegetables and stuff. Of course, wood cutting boards require considerable upkeep to avoid warping and deep scratches. I found that this board required oiling immediately after the first wash - and it drank up a lot of mineral oil. I'd recommend you buy a gallon of oil at the same time as the board so you can maintain it from Day One. In fact, I'm thinking of getting a second one of these so I can easily rotate between them while one is going through the two-day oiling/waxing process. Overall, I'm super pleased with this cutting board. I feel it gives me an excellent cutting surface on a home cook's budget.

I’m really impressed with this SMIRLY 4-pack walnut cutting board set! The quality of the wood is excellent—sturdy, smooth, and looks great on the counter. Each board is a different size, so there’s a perfect one for every task, whether I'm prepping a small snack or a full dinner. I use wood cutting boards in my kitchen, so going for wood over plastic is my choice for both durability and aesthetics. SMIRLY walnut wood cutting boards tend to be gentler on my knives, and easy to maintain. These cutting boards are ideal for both small and large kitchens—compact enough to store easily, but big enough to handle large family dinners when needed. I use them for everything from chopping veggies to carving meats. Another bonus: Smirly’s customer service is excellent. They were responsive and helpful when I had a quick question. You can tell they really care about their customers. Overall, if you're looking for great cutting boards that combine function, quality, and aesthetics, this set is a Super Good Choice.

Let me start by saying that I was very excited to make this purchase. However, it did not take long before I lost all interest in this product. I followed the instructions and within one month I noticed a crack within the board itself. It's just disappointing. This is not a cheap product either. Now it costs 60+ dollars. My advice - stay away from this product and the one who created this product. To company who makes this product my advice is to look at the product you make. If you want to charge a certain amount of money then by all means do so but also create a product worthy of the actual price. Right now - this product is not worth the money you are asking because it is of low quality. I hope everyone reads this review before making the unfortunate purchase!

These are great cutting boards. I did find that I needed to lightly sand them and apply a few coats of butcher block oil.

DO NOT BUY THESE BOARDS!!! It took over a month to ship, I was super excited because I thought they would be good quality. They’re laser cut and say on the little card they give you that they’re sanded. They are NOT sanded. Both of the boards are rough to the touch with pieces of jagged grain sticking out just enough to feel with your fingers and they will definitely end up in your food. Not worth the $50 bucks to just go back and sand them yourself if you really wanted to. You can get two walnut wood boards from Walmart for $16 cheaper with wayyyy better quality. Save your money, go to Walmart!

These were a nice addition to our kitchen. We used them every day for almost everything. 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about buying them.

Great, initially. A little over a year in, 1 of the boards split in half

This is a great, heavy duty cutting board. Love it.

Lovely cutting boards! Love all the sizes and the stand, bought some food grade mineral oil to keep them looking extra fresh ☺️

I bought these a month ago. I was waiting on oil and wax to seal them before I used them. The number of splinters and now the board is lifting, is unreal. I thought maybe with the first coat there might be a couple. But now the second and third coat, the splinters are stopping. Do not recommend

Avoid at all costs. Total waste of $. Bought the 3 pack and already warped/split in 2 spots under a year of purchase. My dollarama bamboo cutting boards have lasted me years longer than these garbage Smirly boards which have nog even lasted a few months . Do not be fooled by the positive reviews.save your $ and just buy a board from ikea

Bamboo base arrived broken. Will try obtaining a replacement.

Great cutting board
