John Boos Block WAL-CCB1812-175 Classic Collection Wood End Grain Chopping Block, 18 inches x 12 inches x 1.75 inches

LOVE this cutting board. I lusted after it for several months before finally ordering it, and I am so glad I did! I use it constantly. It is of excellent quality and looks great on my counter. I also purchased the crème and oil and use that every couple of weeks on it to keep it looking good. Great purchase! I can't recommend it enough.

I’ve ordered 2 of these boards now and both were damaged with either chipped edges/corners or gaps between the pieces of wood that would have made it split in time. Very disappointed and doesn’t live up to what I’ve heard about Boos Blocks.

The durability and craftsmanship is unrivaled.

Heavy and nice to use and look at. You have to oil it and wait 24 hours before using. The surface looked a bit rough to start but after a couple of weeks the wood has absorbed enough oils that it is now smooth. I do recommend this nice heavy board.

Broken on the corners, gaps between the pieces of woods that are joined. May be not a product of such high price.

This is the seconf board - the first arrived with a crack in it. Amazon quickly replaced it (the new one arrived a day after I had sent the old one back).The new one felt rough to the touch, so I decided to keep it and finish sanding it myself - felt like less of a hassle than returning it again and getting a new one. Went through the motions of treating it worth the BOOS Mystery oil and then the BOOS cream and now it is perfect. The wood on this board is simply stunning and I sometimes feel like not wanting to cut anything on it, only to display it. It is expensive but you can catch one of those sale prices that makes buying it even more worth it.

Really solid board. Bigger than most. Easy to clean. Looks great. Best board I’ve ever owned.

I have had this cutting block less than 6 weeks and it is splitting apart already. I was not impressed with the sanding/finish of the board from the start, but decide to keep it anyway. Now it's coming apart! Wish I had returned. I am 2 weeks past my Amazon "return" window. This cutting board is WAY to expensive to fall apart in 6 weeks. VERY disappointed!

I waited to review until I worked with this board for at least a month. I used the recommended oiling which was once a day for a week, then once a week and now will be oiling every month from now on. It is super easy to maintain and looks spectacular in my kitchen. The thickness is perfect and not too heavy to lug around. My knives don't require as much sharpening anymore and I couldn't be happier. Very happy with my purchase.

Got this for a great price off Amazon but third times a charm - I bought the first one and the edge of the block was chipped, and then the replacement one had a piece of glue missing…and now, voila, it’s perfect. I looked at some other photos and people are complaining about cracking or bad quality but you do have to oil it once a week for the first 4 weeks and then once a month afterwards. Take care of it and it will last!

Hubby loved his new board- but within 2 weeks the edge began to split at a seem. For the money, we expected better. Our board was replaced- hassle free - thank you Amazon. The second one has a minor imperfection but we can live with!
