ROYAL CRAFT WOOD Wooden Cutting Boards for Kitchen Meal Prep & Cutting - Bamboo Wood Cutting Board Set with Deep Juice Groove Side Handles - Charcuterie & Chopping Butcher Block for Meat (4 Pcs)

Excellent high quality product

If you are thinking about purchasing this product I will give you some helpful advice on how to evaluate previous reviews to determine if this is the right cutting board (set) for you. Sort them by rating high to low. Once you have done this you will be looking at a list of how people take care of their kitchen items from "very careful" to "it should just work without maintenance".If you own knives you probably understand that they aren't just always going to be sharp. Cutting on certain surfaces will dull them. Using a knife block can dull them. They require sharpening and care. Sure some will last longer and keep their edge better due to their quality, but you need to care about what you own and put in some effort at keeping your items in good shape so they will do what you purchased them for.The reason I say all of this is because I purchased these expecting all sorts of problems. I expected splinters and separation of the bamboo pieces. Know what I found? A decent quality cutting board that requires a certain level of care to keep in good shape. While I think it is possible that a few bad ones left the factory, the number of problems people are having with these lead me to believe that they aren't being oiled and/or they are being submerged and allowed to absorb water. I'm not going to say this is the finest cutting board on the market, but I do think that a lot of the hate is misplaced. I have now been using these for a couple of weeks and they have performed flawlessly. I really think that this is a solid 4 star set. Is it easy to clean? Well it is wood so no it isn't as easy to clean as glass. Is it sturdy? Again, it is made up of pieces of bamboo so it probably isn't as sturdy as a solid board would be. Craftsmanship? I don't think this was made by a craftsman who cares what he is shipping out the door. I haven't experienced splintering so far and it feels well made but it is a mass produced product so I don't think it earns 5 stars there either.Ultimately this is a good set that presents an incredible value if you are in the market for bamboo boards. I cook for my family at home and I plan on taking care of these so they will serve me well. It comes with care instructions and everyone who purchases these would be well served by reading them. I doubt they will win any awards or be used in any top kitchens around the world, but they are a good set and a great value.

I have a lot of bamboo cutting boards. Selected these because they are a smaller size with a channel to capture juice. I use them mainly for serving cut-up meat at the table--like a big steak. They are pricey, but they are very well made and should last a long, long time. They also come oiled with decent instructions on care. I am pleased with the purchase.

They are good for what I use them for, decent quality but I won't be buying this type of cutting board again.

Enjoyed the cutting boards. Used mineral oil on them twice now. Bought about 3 months ago and use small one daily. So far no cuts in grooves I can see. I use one side for meat with grooves and flat side for veggies and fruit. Seems like will hold up. Better than using plastic cutting boards as they get so many grooves on them and probably lots of microplastic in my food. Small one seems to handle 99% oh my good. If cutting watermelon or other big fruit, need larger one.
