I've only had these cutting boards for a few days but wanted something made of natural materials. We'll see how durable they are. I always hesitant of wood cutting boards as they have a tendency to split and crack. I'm hoping the bamboo ones are better. I know with traditional wood there is sometimes the need for cleaning/upkeep by rubbing with mineral oil. I don't want to have to do this for these boards. Out of the package they seem good. Good luck and hope this helps!
