These cutting boards are good for everyday use. They are on the small side - a little smaller than a letter size piece of paper  - which works fine for most of the meals I make, but if I were going to do a big project that requires a lot of cutting, I would probably reach for one of my bigger cutting boards instead of these. They seem sturdy and don't move around on the counter much. I have put them through the dishwasher several times so far and they seem to be holding up well.
