Gourmet Acacia Wood End Grain Prep Cutting Board

great gift idea.

I am sending the Delano Acacia Wood cutting board back. The board I got did not look like the board pictured on the website. The juice groove is way to narrow and shallow, and would no way hold the 10 fluid oz. claimed in the description. The grove cut seems like an after thought and is raw and unfinished compared to the cutting surface. My board has a bad seam on one of the corners and probably will not hold up with use. Very disappointed with this item.

When we received the board, there were two scratches and a blemish (small pit) in the center of the board (see photo), but we have real concerns about two other problems. 1. The juice grove appears like the manufacturing process had not been completed. It's very small compared to the photo at Wayfair website, it measures 5/16" wide and the website photo looks to be at least twice that. Also, the grove is not finished, it's extremely rough (see photo) and seems like it could harbor bacteria. 2. Also, it appears that there has been a coating applied to the board that is not cutting board oil! In one photo (the one with the ruler), you can see where the coating developed some tiny bubbles which left marks as the coating dried. Cutting board oil doesn't do that on a brand new board! I think there is a wood finish of some kind, like polyurethane, on the wood. If that's the case, is it safe for food service? Will it flake off? Will it allow oil to be absorbed after the board is used? The quality is poor, I'm sending this back!

Beautiful! Nice heavy piece. Rich colors. I’m afraid to cut in it!

Very nice and heavy weight, attractive for the countertop, and hopefully will keep my sharp knives sharper. I like the channel for juices to flow. The size is good because you can chop a few things or slice up meats if needed. I am happy with my purchase
