I have been looking for a thick cutting board with legs for quite some time. I leave it out on my counter all the time as I use it so often. I can just quickly rinse and towel dry it off and put it right back on my counter... never having to worry about it getting moldy underneath. With the little legs on the bottom of the cutting board... underneath the block gets to dry out nicely in between use. No more moldy smelling cutting boards!!
