My UPS deliverer left box on my front porch table and I wondered why until I lifted the board and brought it into the house ( he did me a favor by not putting it on the ground). I would say this is a stay put board due to it's weight, it is a HEAVY cutting board and is more beautiful then the photo. Please note, the color depicted in photo is what board looks like after you oil (preparing/maintaining) it. I have shun knives and I wanted a new board that would help keep my knives sharp. Before your board arrives, purchase mineral oil and save money on specialty oils. I use cheap white bar towels for cleaning my boards because they are soft and easy to clean after use. I purchased another cutting board with groves which is reversible and MUCH lighter. Both boards come from "Catskill Craftsman, Inc." and Overstocks prices were good at the time I purchased. Both boards are now selling for more. Top quality boards start at $$$. I have no complaints thus far.
The company doesn't tell you...
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Photo represents what board looks like after oiling W/beautiful luster
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Heavy and solid
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Can't anticipate the weight until you lift it (weight given), but it is great
