We have very little usable bench space, this board has changed the way we use our kitchen. You can prepare multiple things, push them to the side and keep working with a clean working surface. I haven't seen another one as big and nice with the same lip. Has held up really well to hard use. Looks great, we get compliments all the time! The only thing is we don't use the mat they supply we use a teatowel to keep it from moving or rocking because our bench surface is a bit warped. But I really recommend it this board, to the extent I didnt event buy it from this website I got it from a little local shop and went out of my way to find it online and give it a review somewhere lol.
