TeakhausCarving Board - Medium (M) Wood Cutting Board with Juice Groove and Grip Handles - Reversible Teak Edge Grain Wood - Knife Friendly - FSC CertifiedThe Forest Stewardship Council

First impression: I like this Teakhaus cutting board, right out of the box, it had a gorgeous grain pattern and a smooth, silky feel, like it had been lightly oiled at the factory. No rough edges, no warping, and no visible flaws—just a solid, beautifully crafted board that looks fantastic on the counter.While the board came ready to use, I decided to give it a few additional coats of mineral oil, followed by a final beeswax treatment. The wood soaked it right up, and after letting it sit overnight, the surface became even richer in color and smoother to the touch. This extra conditioning not only enhances the board’s appearance but also helps protect it from moisture and wear.In terms of performance, this board is very good so far, It’s gentle on knives while still feeling sturdy under the blade, making it great for everything from chopping vegetables to carving meat. I have sharp knives and they give a very satisfying bite in the wood when I cut stuff. To keep it from sliding around on my counter, I placed a simple rubber drawer liner underneath, which is an inexpensive fix that works perfectly. Now, the board stays put, even during heavier prep work.Another big plus is teak’s natural resistance to moisture and bacteria, which makes maintenance a breeze. A quick wash with warm water and mild soap, followed by drying, is all it takes to keep it in great condition, for light prep work, just a wet towel over the surface cleans it completely.Overall, this is a beautiful, durable, and functional cutting board that has quickly become one of my kitchen essentials. If you're looking for a high-quality board that performs as well as it looks, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Unlike the more expensive slicing board made by another brand that arrived with cracks and that I returned, this one came well packaged, it's sturdy, extremely well made, and it will be a joy to use! For everyday use, I ordered a smaller size, and yes, it's lighter and it's maneuverable in the sink for easy cleanup, yet still has plenty of space for slicing! The quality is superior. It's well put together and durable. No need to buy a different brand. Nothing negative to say here! Go ahead and order it, you won't be disappointed!

This is a serious kitchen tool, not something that should be stored away and gotten out for each use. It's beautiful enough to display full-time on a work counter, heavy and very stable, and large enough to chop, slice, and prepare food without having it flying all over the room. Like all such professional-grade equipment, it deserves care and maintenance. I treat mine with food-grade mineral oil, then wax it with food-grade beeswax to keep it looking like new and to help it repel all moisture. This board is too big to immerse in a sink, nor should you, for immersion can weaken the glue joints. Simply wash it off, wipe it dry, and retreat it once or twice a month. It's the best cutting board I've ever used, fully worth its price, which is not minimal.

Ordered the medium size thin cutting board. It weighs 5 lbs and that's a little heavier than I would have wanted. But I can manage that. The wood adds a beautiful natural look to my white-on-white kitchen and makes me happy.

I purchased this cutting board as it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen and Serious Eats. It is very pretty especially after oiling it.Part 1: The cutting board arrived on time and was packaged very well. It is much larger than I expected (24"). It is true to size; I just didn't think it would be this large. I will make it work.I oiled the board on all sides four times, one hour between applications. It now needs to sit over-night before using.I will update this review after I use it.Part 2: I have used the board several times now, mostly on the side without the juice groove. There is plenty of room for me to prep all my veggies and I am not leaving marks in the board. I made a whole chicken yesterday and transferred the chicken to the side of the board with the juice grooves. It was very easy to carve the chicken and all the juices ran into the groove they should. I mopped them up with paper towels.After using the board I wipe the board with a slightly damp sponge and the reapply a light amount of oil with a paper towel. This will prevent the board from drying out.I am very happy with this board and, although it is a bit large (my fault not theirs), it is a great addition to my kitchen.

I bought the extra-large board five years ago, and it has been a permanent fixture on my counter and in daily use since (for everything, including cutting/chopping, bread making /slicing bread with serrated knife). I have not been especially vigilant about caring for it, occasionally using food-grade mineral oil or Wood Butter to condition it. It remains in excellent condition, with a few scratches from constant use, but with a smooth surface. The board is reversable, but I haven't felt the need to turn it over to use the opposite side. It is prone to slipping on my granite countertop, but I was able to stabilize it with a silicone mat. I'd say I would buy it again but I don't think I'll have a need to replace it--it looks like I'll have it for years, maybe until I stop cooking altogether.

Large, heavy board, but easy to use and does not wobble at all. Could be hard to lift (because of weight) for some users. Handles make it easy to hold.

Perfect cutting board, I do feel a bit coplex about the size a bit big and heavy but it makes it better also.
