John Boos CB Series Rectangular Wooden Maple Cutting Board 20”x15” – 1.5” Thick, 12-lb Reversible Butcher Block with Juice Groove, Edge-Grain & Finger Grips – Made in the USA

Great quality and great value. The cutting board is well constructed and feels like it's built to last. After washing and drying I oiled the board and it soaked up a ton. You definitely want to oil this board before using it or whatever you cut on it will soak into the board. It's a good thickness and pretty heavy so the board won't move around a lot while you're using it. It's a decent size at 20x14 so it's good for cutting most things in the kitchen. You could leave it on the counter as it's quite attractive although I lug this 12 pound board and put it away each time I use it. It's got a juice groove on one side and is flat on the other so it's pretty versatile. When I bought it, this size and shape board was quite a bit cheaper for the size compared to the rectangular board. I've only had it for a few weeks and there aren't any cut marks in it yet, but it's so thick it can be sanded if it ever needed it. I'm counting on having this cutting board for a long time.

I ordered this last week and haven't used it yet (need to oil and finish it), but it looked so great I ordered a second one in a different size. Good quality, great medium/light wood tone, etc. I will say that I had to return the very first one I received as I did not like the coloring of part of the board. It was a strangely colored board that was spotty and blotchy - it was natural to the wood, but I really didn't like it. So I returned that bought another (great coloring and tone) and liked it so much I ordered a second size. HOWEVER, note that they charge you to return/exchange. It was about $10 for shipping. Super annoying considering I bought two boards and almost $300.

This is a great board. It’s a really nice size to keep on the counter, but manageable enough to move when need be. Mine showed up REALLY dry. I’ve put about 10 coats of conditioner on it now which makes it very easy to clean. I like that it’s reversible. The juice well is a great feature when needed. I leave mine on the counter with the short side out which leaves me enough room for day to day cutting, but if need be I can flip it to the long side for more room or for carving roasts and such. I’m not sure if my board showed up with a slight bow, or what the issue was, but it moved around a little more than I wanted on my quartz counter. I used a piece of shelf liner under it and now it’s rock solid. Doesn’t move at all!

This is really nice mid-level board without breaking the bank. It's heavy enough so that it doesn't move on the counter. It's double-sided one side having the trough for catching any juices. The other side is flat. Highly recommend this for the price point.

So you’ve decided to spent $130 or so to finally get that great, long lasting cutting board. You did your research and heard about John Boos. You also purchased their brand oil and cream to make sure the board lives a long happy life – another $30. Hope you’re ready for absolute disappointment. Board looks nice out of the box, it’s large and quite heavy. It wasn’t finished particularly well, with seams that could be felt (possible areas for food to get lodged and allow for bacteria growth?). That’s bad enough for something that costs multiples more than similar products but the worst part was that after a few months of use the board became noticeably warped. This is not just aesthetic issue. It’s a safety issue. The board rotates freely while chopping and cutting on it. This creates a hazardous situation when you’re cutting or chopping on this board. Reached out to John Boos and they said it was “normal” for it to warp. I’ve had a number of cheap boards that have lasted for many, many years without becoming useless like this $130 piece of firewood. Caveat emptor. Edit - a few weeks after writing this review and getting a "pound sand" reply from John Boos the board started to crack (see pic). Amazing piece of garbage.

This is a beautiful board, hefty, but not overly heavy. Craftsmanship is wonderful, but these do require care and seasoning. Read the direction on oiling and waxing carefully and follow.

This came yesterday. It definitely has weight to it. Very well packaged with a box within a box. What more can be said about these boards other than rock hard maple is the best you can get in a cutting board. It will cut your meat, chicken or whatever else and will not make a dent in the board itself. These boards are made to last perhaps not forever but a very long time. I bought this as a XMAS gift so my grandson can get rid of the acacia board which is too soft for safety not to mention bamboo. It is spendy I suppose but you have to think what you are buying and its quality. To me that speaks economy. There is a comment regarding "slip resistance". This board is not going to move on you. I am very pleased with this purchase along with the kit for its care.

I really like this board, I do. but I have concerns for the long term. Pros 1. This thing is HUGE, tons of works space, my wife and I can work on this board at the same time cutting vegetables without getting in each others way. 2. It's heavy, that means it stays where you put it, no sliding around on the surface. 3. it looks great. Great color, good grain. 4. Easy to take care of. A quick wipe down, or if I am cutting meats a quick wipe with a damn soapy cloth then just a wet one to remove the soap and it's clean. Once a month hit it with some Boos Butcher Block Oil and a coat of Boos Butcher Block Creaam and it's good to go. Cons 1. It's HUGE. It won't fit in any of my cupboards or cabinets. I store it standing up at the end of my counter. 2. It's heavy. No issues for me but a person of smaller stature might find it really heavy and awkward to move around. 3. I'm about 2 monthis in and I am already starting to see some knife marks in the board. I'm going to have to watch and see how that develops. It may become a concern if it gets worse. This is honestly the first time I've bought more than the 3.99 cutting boards at the store so I don't know if the knife marks are normal on more expensive boards or not.

nothing to dislike this is a well made and totally happy with this cutting board

Boos Block Pro Chef-Groove es una de las mejores marcas del mercado. Es cierto que son caras, pero la calidad es excelente. Cabe destacar que, dependiendo de su uso, requieren un mantenimiento adecuado y regular, y tendrás una tabla de cortar de cocina durante muchos años.

I have a much larger thicker Boos cutting block but this one is handy and fits nicely on my counter top.

Great for larger cuts of meat. We use to carve our turkey or brisket. Easy to maintain.
