This board arrives in a nicely presented box, which makes it giftable, and is a good heavy, thick chopping board. Whilst it took 5 weeks to arrive, we aren't disappointed in the quality of the product now it is here.At 4 cm thick it is a nice chunk of bamboo, and sits well in place while it is being used, we have tried it with fresh bread and some vegetables. Although the leaflet that comes with the board states not to submerge in water, it easily sat on top of my washing up bowl so I could rinse it over.There is a juice/crumb run around the edge on the top of the board, and this leads to a drip point just where the companies logo is, so it's perfect for resting cooked meats on. At £18.00 at the time of writing this review, this is a really nice chopping board, and I can see it becoming the main one we use.
