At first touch, this bamboo set seems almost spindly and thin, like it's liable to break at any second. However, that's just the way bamboo feels.  I've only ever had traditional wood cutting  boards up to this point, I guess. After three weeks of daily use (and plenty of knife action) these seem to be holding up just fine.  They clean well and don't leave any extra tastes on your food. For the price, however, the manufacturers' suggestion of rubbing mineral oil on them seems like too much extra work.  I do have THREE of them for a great price. No need to spend 8 dollars on mineral oil if I'm going to get 7-12 months use out of each one.  That's 21 to 36 months of cutting board action for a very reasonable price.  Go Wayfair!!
