Overall, it’s a nice looking cutting board with really sturdy feet (that’s really a big perk). The only reason I didn’t  give it a five star is that the sheen, which I just couldn’t capture with photos, is very manufactured looking. In the right light, it can look a little painted. Granted we do a bit of wood working for a hobby, so most people probably wouldn’t care about the sheen the way I do. And if you haven’t had a wood cutting board before, it’s going to scratch a good bit. Oh, and as other people commented, the wood pattern and color are totally different than the picture. I actually prefer the stripes and darker look of the actual cutting board.
