It may be called a cutting board, but if you like sharp knives, don't use them on this!  However, as a counter protector it is great.  I selected the "clear glass" one, which it is, but the glass is textured (on the bottom) so it's not really CLEAR glass.  I like it this way better, tho'.  I had a white Corning counter protector which has lasted for more than 25 years, so I'm hoping this one will do as well.
