This is a very nice cutting board with inset details. But it is quite small for the price. It is 10"x 7"x 1", which is roughly the size of a 250-page hardcover novel, so its really more of a cheese board or bar board than a cutting board. You might be able to put one large wedge of cheese or two small ones on it, but not much more.<br /><br />The knife holder is a bit puzzling. It's more like a knife rest and would have made much more sense if a cheese knife that fit that space was included. The knives I have just sort of look like they are laying there<br /><br />The product picture shows that it is made of three pieces of wood glued together. Mine is made of six pieces - which you can see in my photos. I think that's a plus in terms of structure (which may or not be important on a board this size, but the product picture with only three actually looks nicer.<br /><br />The bottom line: This is lot of money for a board this size. It's made of acacia, which is a very pretty wood that is used for cutting boards, trays and salad bowls, but it is not rare enough to command a price like this for such a little board.
