I had been happily slicing and dicing away on plastic cutting boards until I did a little research--shock, gasp, hand to the forehead--I discovered that wily harmful bacteria can get trapped in the small nicks on plastic boards.
This board is really beautiful to behold. Plus, it is large enough for me to cut up multiple veggies at once (Eureka! I can avoid overcooking the first veggies I chop since I always underestimate how long it takes me to cut up the next round). The lip around the edge seems like it will likely be handy at some point, but it hasn't mattered to me one way or another thus far. I do keep the board out on the kitchen counter since it is just so beautiful to look at it (and it seems too cumbersome and over-sized to store elsewhere).
I also bought the Howard Products Butcher Block Conditioner to use with the board. Despite my impatient excitement to use the board, I applied the conditioner and let it sit overnight when it first arrived. I also conditioned it after the first few uses.
I have noticed that it wobbles just the slightest bit on the counter, but not enough to be noticeable while actually chopping. I only wash it with hot water and soap in the sink and quickly dry it with paper towels after. It is definitely a labor of love keeping it in shape, but it's so worth it!
Summary: Simple bamboo cutting board. Large. Beautiful. Durable. Treat her right and she'll treat you right. Happy chopping!

I would recommend this one to anyone looking for quality. I like the groove around the perimeter for drainage. The size is perfect. I have a big one and what a hassle as it is always on the bottom this is perfect to leave out for my day to day chopping and nice looking. After rubbing oil on it (is required for all wood cutting boards) the wood is beautiful.
