The board was packaged in a nicely designed box conveying that modern feel. When taking the board out, it was pretty hefty, which definitely gave it a high-quality feel, and it was not only considerably larger than my previous board but also twice the thickness. I was also very impressed with the craftsmanship of the board upon my initial inspection. The color of the finish is very nice and I love the wood texture. The grooves for catching liquid is nice and even and the channel on the charcuterie side is perfectly shaved out. There's also grooves on the sides of the board for easy holding and carrying. All of the edges were sharp, crisp, and straight, which is an attribute to its attention to detail. Overall, it gave me a great first impression.
I haven't used it yet for chopping anything; it looks way too nice to cut on! We've used it for preparing and cleaning foods first, and washing and cleaning was no problem at all. I might update when I start chopping. We did use the flip side for a charcuterie display to see what it would look like and it really looks stylish and terrific! You can see in the pictures that we put on some grapes, nuts, other snacks and a block of cheese, but you can definitely put anything you want on there and it will look amazing. We are excited to try different combinations in the future.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't rave over something like a cutting board but I think this one takes the cake. I think every kitchen should have a board from Sonder Los Angeles because it looks very sleek and cool, and it has a great multi-purpose function. I also appreciate the sustainability of the material and praise the company for looking for eco-friendly solutions. For $50, this board gives great value in providing durability, functionality, and visibility.
