John Boos Round Chinese Chopping Block

This block is a beautiful addition to my kitchen, but it weighs about 25 pounds, so it stays on the counter top. If you are short on counter space, be prepared to build up your biceps! It's a bear to put away.

You should be aware that this block is not reversible, as you can use only one side for chopping.

Sure it costs a lot but it looks great! Heavy, very very heavy, do NOT drop it on anything. Solid as a rock. Use a non slip liner under it. Just looks totally awesome on dark granite. Easy to cut on, high enough to scoop away items into bowls. Love the burnt in BOOS. Get two for total oh la la look and feel in the kitchen. Chopping on it makes you feel like a t.v. cooking show star.

24-inch at $160? It does sound like a bargain. However like many things that's "on sale", it is for a reason.

I have just received this 24-inch model and I am not happy with it considering I have purchased the Boo's 18-inch "Walnut" model ($255) previously and it was up to my expectations.

Here's some facts.

First of all, the board is NOT shrink-wrapped (as it was with the 18-inch Walnut model which also had one pack of cream and instructions sealed inside together). This board comes in ONE piece of factory package (no extra outer box) with broken tapes and two thin slices of straps. Because it's not shrink-wrapped, the package has the finishing oil of the board leaking through all over (leaving the package oily and the block dry).

It has NO "Boos" logo engraved on the side of the board.

And most importantly, the block on the product page is NOT what I got. It is serious misrepresentation of the actual product! The one in the photo is nicely (and obviously) put together with evenly sized wood pieces. It gives you the impression as if the board is made out to be a 24x24 square at first with same-sized wood pieces and then sliced into a round block (even though it's not). The evenly distributed end grains was the reason that I made my purchase. However, the ACTUAL block that I have received was actually made with many much SMALLER pieces in VARIOUS sizes (very much like Catskill blocks but at what price?). There are (as I counted), 26 small pieces of wood in very different sizes along the single longest 24-diameter row of the board (just a bit more than the one in the photo with only 10 same-sized squares, right?)

And finally, this is an one-sided board. The bottom side has no polished edges. It is very sharp. (However the Boos' 18-inch WALNUT block is in fact two-sided despite one of the reviews saying otherwise).

With much disappointment, I am still keeping it. For one thing, Amazon does have something accurately described, it is indeed 53 pounds.
