Sonder Los Angeles, XL Thick Teak Wood Cutting Board with Juice Groove, Sorting Compartments 20x15x1.5 in (Gift Box Included)

My first wood cutting board! I chose the bigger size for more kitchen versatility. It is beautiful and it arrived nicely packaged (I know my photos won't do justice). It is smooth and a bit hefty due to it's large size. Really heavy-duty and durable.

This cutting board is the perfect example of form follows function, I LOVE it! I researched cutting boards extensively, I cook several meals daily and I wanted something highly functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Something I wanted to leave out on my countertop. I also wanted a board that would be easy on my knife collection and heavy enough that it would stay put and light enough that it wouldn’t be a struggle to clean or move around. This size hits my sweet spot-big enough for lots of chopped veggies, but not so big that it’s not easily cleaned and stored. The teak is gorgeous, it’s hefty but easy to move around and the functionality couldn’t be better. The finish is excellent, the gift-worthy box is beautiful, so beautiful that I’m sorry I will not be gifting this baby, it’s mine all mine! I can think of so many applications for the little compartments on the reverse, it’s a genius idea. The liquid channel is deep enough to hold quite a bit of liquid, unlike most liquid channels on other cutting boards. It truly is a work of art, but one that is extremely well made, thoughtfully designed and well presented. You won’t be disappointed in this board!

I wanted a large board that is both functional and beautiful. I was so happy to find one that is designed in my hometown of Los Angeles! I love the other side with the compartments. This board is sturdy, heavy and has a gorgeous finish. I won't let anyone who is not decent with knives get near it though! I also really appreciate the box it came in - it honors the historic Bradbury Building in downtown. I kept the box!

So fantastic, we bought two more of them. Returned a board from a competitor, because it was merely "perfectly fine."1. Excellent size without being overly heavy, strikes an excellent balance between "substantial" and "manageable".2. Just beautiful to look at.3. Loved the details on both sides, making it a superior serving tray in addition to a carving board.As a bonus, I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but the box is a true work of art. If a person wanted to give this as a gift it's a really nice touch. I am having a hard time recycling it even though normally I don't keep many possessions (I'm an anti-hoarder), and generally dispose of boxes immediately.

I decided to purchase this gorgeous cutting board based on Chef Jean Pierre's recommendation re: using wood instead of plastic, etc., and I am so glad I did! It looks like a work of art sitting on my counter top - and mine stays in place. My wooden-handled Japanese knives are on a an artsy magnetic holder (walnut) on the backsplash above, and the look is stunning!Cleanup and care are a breeze - teak is 'the' way to go. Thank you for making such a quality product! :-)
