The color of the wood is beautiful! It looks beautiful with any table setting! The best part is the magnet attachment of the knife. Make sure the serrated edge is pointing downward when in use and with storage. The magnet is secure but make sure to hold the cutting board side ways( knife side up) when transporting the cutting board around your kitchen for basic safety. Cutting boards do look like cutting board after usage. The cost maybe prohibitive if you replace your cutting boards frequently.

I love it, very good quality, but too big!

This piece was gifted to a passionate sourdough bread makers. They thought the board looked too nice to cut on! We have since heard great reviews of both the board and the knife. I would definitely buy to gift again.
