John Boos Chop-N-Slice Series Square Wooden Maple Cutting Board 10”x10” – 1” Thick, 4-lb Reversible Butcher Block with Eased Corners & Edge-Grain – Made in the USA

This is a really, really nice little compact and quality cutting board. I wanted something for slicing bagels, slicing lemons and limes, cutting garlic cloves in half, cutting off a piece of cheddar from the block, and similar small tasks without having to drag out my massive 36 x 36 teak board. This is exactly that. It is too small to really "chop" on - although in a pinch you can chop a little parsley or other herbs. So no - this isn't a kitchen workhorse. But it is just what I needed and wanted.

i waited a year to write this review because there were so many people complaining of splits and cracks. I have ha no problems and am quite happy with my board. I have kept it dry and haven't exposed it to extreme temperatures. I have used it daily, cleaning immediately and treating it with Mystery Oil when dry. I condition it regularly, I'm not sure I'd need to oil or condition except for sanitary reasons. The board is quite solid and well-made. Two things to consider with a solid wood product splitting: 1) Where does the split occur? 2) How was the product stored and handled? A split along a seam is manufacture. A split in a piece of wood could be material selection, but is more likely care. That includes the care given during transportation and storage between the manufacturer and your kitchen. A board that has been stored in a humid environment or allowed to get wet may not recover well, or quickly. Buy from a reputable seller. Check packaging for signs of moisture or stress. Allow the board time to acclimate before oiling and using, if it's been transported from a different climate. Be careful about using the board near a range top, where heat can stress the wood if it's wet. I love my board, will continue to care for it, and expect to see many more years of use from it.

We love this board. It is solid, flat, thick, cleans easily, and there are no microplastics to deal with. It is big enough to do a lot of chopping on without getting crowded. I don't see a piece of wood this thick ever warping unless you do something crazy like stick it in a dishwasher. (Don't!) The board is also attractive enough that we just leave it out on the counter full time now. I am doing a lot of wok cooking these days, and a good board is essential in vegetable preparation. We do not (and will not) use this one for meat, but it's the go-to for anything else.

I purchased the Boos cutting board in January of 2023. I read on how to "take care" of the board based upon the company's suggestions. I left it out on a granite countertop, not just for usage but also to avoid warping. They also recommended to use their oils and creams which I bought and used. Sounds stupid, but I never put it in the dishwasher, soaked or left it in water. I basically cleaned it with a minimal amount of water, soap and a sponge. Here we are almost 2 years later and the board is warped and splitting at 1 of the seams. I called Boos customer service and lets say their is very little service. The woman I spoke to seemed like I was bothering her and she indicated the warranty is not valid and indicated all the things I probably did or didn't do to preserve the integrity of the board. HUH??? I explained in detail that I followed ALL of their directions even the oils. What's worse I made a comment that I guess I will just trash it and she laughed and repeated the warranty is not valid. I don't expect anything for free or refund but what I did expect is to take ownership of a product that is either not made well or it defective, especially it can't uphold a sponge. Side note, after I purchased this board I purchased a different board from another company (nothing fancy or expensive) and guess what... it's still in excellent condition!! Sadly I will not buy, recommend or purchase the Boos board again.

Kudo to John Boos. I bought this board 6 months ago and it was a good looking board, however, it started splitting along the glue joint. I contacted Boos and they sent me a replacment. What is interesting is that it is supposedly the same board, both are chop and slice models, but the new board is thicker (1-1/4" vs 1"), has beveled edges and finger notches that were missing on the original and looks to be much higher quality. I'm wondering if Amazon is selling a cheaper version then Boos sells on their web site.

I debated this board for a while because of the price — but after using it, I can honestly say it’s worth every dollar. This board is substantial. It’s heavy, stable, and doesn’t slide around the counter at all. The craftsmanship is outstanding — smooth finish, solid construction, and clearly made to last for years, not months. This is not a decorative board pretending to be functional; it’s the real thing. Knives feel great on it, it’s gentle on blades, and it’s large enough to actually work on comfortably. I also appreciate that it arrived well-finished and ready to use with a little oil. Yes, it’s an investment — but if you cook regularly and want a board that won’t warp, crack, or need replacing, this is it. I’d rather buy one excellent board than multiple cheaper ones. If you’re on the fence: don’t be. This is a true professional-quality cutting board.

Beautiful cutting board! Feels quality and has no smell like some other wooden cutting boards I’ve received in the past

Great product super good quality

The groove is too wide for this small cutting board, the surface is not very smooth (for oiling it is better to use sponge or microfiber instead of a kitchen towel). The JB cutting boards are very dry, not seasoned, so you need to spend some efforts on oiling

لم أحب شيئًا بهذا المنتج ،، فهو لايرقى للجودة المتوقعة بالنسبة لسعره ،، كان خيار فاشل. المنتج انفصلت اجزاؤه برغم الإهتمام به وعدم غمره بالماء مجرد مسح خفيف وتعقيم،، وبالرغم من استخدام الزيوت ومنتجات العناية الخاصة به.

While this board is beautiful and well presented, the top face cutting area is quite small given the surrounding juice groove. I have not used it yet but intend to use the reverse flat side for veggies, fruits, cheese etc.

Esta tabla de cortar me ha resultado muy útil, la limpieza es muy fácil además de que recomiendo adquirir los productos para mantener la tabla en buen estado, siendo esos los aceites. Muy resistente, incluso al caer de una mesa de trabajo. El precio es algo elevado, pero vale la pena invertir en un producto de gran calidad.

John Boos stand to it's reputation " great product, best quality". Never had a second thought when I bought this chopping board because I knew it will last a lifetime with proper care and attention. And by the way this is my second chopping board from John Boos, my first is 24X18x2.25 inches. I love it and you'll love it too professionals, amateurs and home cooks alike. Little heavy, but that what makes a beautiful, reliable and heavy duty chopping board.
