DALSTRONGCutting Board - Lionswood End-Grain Teak - 16" x 12" - Steel Carrying Handles - Gift Packaging Serving Board - Large Cutting Boards for Kitchen - Chopping Meat Cutting Board - Two Sizes

High quality chopping board!

Great chopping board, fits perfectly in the corner of your worktop. Can’t believe no one has thought of this before. Great quality and worth the money. Comes beautifully packaged too.

Just having received the colossal chopping board, heavy and thick. The design is nice where you can slide a plate underneath it. Using it lightly I can't see any cuts from the knife! Which is a surprise. I've treated it with mineral oil and looks nicer when coated. It is rather large but will be a talking piece. Can't really see it being move around much; once it has a place to stay it will stay there.There could be more feet underneath it, as there are only 4 points of contact on the 4 edges, something this size really need more. I will order rubber feet to attach I think.

It is perfect for cutting steak and roast.

Just a beautiful chunk of wood that lifts any kitchen work surface. Nice feature having the cut out on the underside to accept a plate to slide whatever you've chopped off the board. Very well made sturdy chopping board.

After cleaning of the original stain and adding a lot of Mineral Oil the Board is great and well maintainable.Had to cut down the Wood peaces that are covering the ends of the Handles, but hey its wood.Great value for the Price imo.

Massive high spot as a chef with years of using cutting boards massive disappointment plus board dangerous as u can spin board right around so high spot is very noticable you would thing board would be levelled off .

It split recently, after 10 months of mild use, and without ever being abused. I contacted Dalstrong, and they have ignored me entirely. After spending this kind of money, I had expected years of service, not months.I didn't really like the prominence of the Dalstrong logo all over it, especially now I've realised what a poor product it is they've produced.

After waiting almost a year, finally got one! must say it's pretty nice, strong, stylish, weights a ton and when you cut on it it sounds very good ! I noticed a hairline crack, I don't think it is an issue as the overall quality of this board is there, I filled the hairline crack with super strong glue and sand it a little bit, just like new now, with time any wood gets it's share of beating and this board will ! I got some Dalstrong steak knives too and they are real super! an excellent purchase !

The Colossal cutting board is just that. It comes in a suitcase of a box and is vacuum sealed inside the box. The care instructions that come with it states that you will need to season the board with a food grade oil every day for a month. There is no recommendation of what oil to use so I chose coconut oil. Heating the oil up enough to make it a liquid and spread it over the entire cutting side first. Once the coconut oil cooled enough to become solid again I used a 10 inch power buffer (used jut for this purpose) and buffed the board. This will heat the oil up again and help push it into the wood grain. I'm going to continue this process for a while and I am going to use vegetable oil on the under side so that the wood can soak up the oil into the center of the board.This does have feet on the bottom side which I understand are there for a couple of reasons but I'm afraid could cause the board to fail if I use the Obliterator cleaver on the board. I'm debating on whether to leave the feet on or take them off. They seem to be applied with screws that can simply be removed and then the feet taken off. I like the feet but a board this size really needs some support in the center, especially if you intend to use a 3 pound cleaver on it. I would almost rather have it sitting flat on my bench with a nonskid mat under it.So this is my first impression of the Colossal Teak end grain cutting board. This 2.5 inch thick board is solid, and heavy. You can use it across a sink, or even a stove, (NOTE: Use a little thought about using this on a glass top stove, obviously the burners needs to be off and cold, and don't chop meats or vegetables. Of you don't want to break your glass top, slicing only) if you're limited on counter top space.Final thoughts, this board sells at the low end of the price spectrum for end grain boards. I think part of the reason is that it comes dry and you are going to have to oil it up. If you know anything about end grain cutting boards you already know that this is a requirement in maintaining your board so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. I just complicate things sometimes. If you want a big board and don't mind putting in the extra work to save some money, this seems like a valid option.

Good quality

Have used it for a couple of months. Good quality, a pleasure to use.

Update 2/24/23 I contacted Dalstrong and received excellent customer service. They honored the warranty and replaced the board with one without cracks. I understand that wood is a natural material and these types of flaws will occur. I was very pleased with how Dalstrong handled the situation. I will feel comfortable buying from them again in the future.Original *** star review: I have been a happy purchaser of quite a few Dalstrong products at this point. I have always been very pleased with the quality and felt they were all great values. These past experiences let me to make a major purchase of the XL cutting board. I was nervous at many pictures of cracks in the board in the reviews, but when I looked at the description for the board I was comforted when I read the item's last bullet point: "Dalstrong Trust: Rock-solid 100% SATISFACTION OR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, try it risk free. LIFETIME WARRANTY against defect." So reassured by the warranty offer I took the plunge. I am very sad to say that my board did arrive with a major crack that I show in photos. I am also sure that this crack will most likely get much worse as time goes by. I am planning to contact Dalstrong and will see if they stand by the product as promised. I will update this review after I see how the company deals with the problem. As of now, I feel a need to warn people to beware of cracks. If they stand by the warranty, I will let you know that too.
