Williams Sonoma Prep Cutting Board, Walnut

Exactly what I was looking for

Beautifully made. Love the color. Durable and not heavy so I can easily maneuver it for washing and storage.

The Walnut Cutting Board

The size and weight of the board were perfect. However, after multiple cleanings, the board is beginning to warp, and there is a peculiar smell that is not pleasing.

Can Not see the inscription - that I paid for!

The cutting board itself is fine.. But I made the mistake to have 3 letters inscribed onto the board. It's so faint you can't see it unless you are looking for it. To many days went by before I could get to a mall to take it back. I paid an extra $15.00 for the 3 letters. times 2 - I order 2 of the boards. It really sucks that Williams Sonoma allows for such low quality additions to be sold. I would NOT recommend.

Misguiding title

I purchase this Prep Cutting Board, Walnut on April 6, 2024, I would not recommend purchasing this item.  I made the purchase because the board is lightweight and I love walnut wood.  THIS IS NOT "WALNUT".  The wood has a very unusual smell to it.  The first time I used it and washed it, it raised the grain, I let it dry and still the grain was raised, so I gave it a light sanding several times and oiled it with food grade oil for wood.  When I oiled it the color of the wood was coming off the wood, it's still dark, like a walnut, but I have been told it's a food stain that has been used to give the board it's color.  This is not good for anyone.  I have spoken with a manager, but she did not offer to take it back.  My feelings on purchasing anything that says "Sustainably Harvested N.A. hardwood" DO  NOT PURCHASE.  It's more like a composite of woods put together and stained to make it look like what it is being sold as, i.e., WALNUT, MAPLE, OAK, etc.  Not a happy customer. and I love Williams-Sonoma.

Perfect chopping board

It’s sturdy, has the perfect weight needed. The wood is so smooth and the perfect size. Not to mention so beautiful.

Cracked in four pieces

I received this item as a gift. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. It broke into four pieces within three months of use. For something that I now see is so expensive, I couldn't not be more disappointed. It's worth looking for a better board with better reviews.

I couldn’t get past the odor

It’s pretty. It’s a good size and a nice weight—not too heavy. However, from the moment I opened the plastic covering, I could not get past the smell. It is a chemical smell. I washed it and let it dry. I let it sit overnight, but decided to return it. In my opinion, something that smells of a chemical finishing agent (or whatever it was) is not anything I want to prepare food with. I am generally not sensitive to scent.

Splintered and Warped

My board, after three months of use and proper care, has splintered and warped. There is a very distinct bow in it which makes it unusable.

Poor quality

I purchased this board and followed the care instructions- I washed gently with the grain, next, I would apply the oil, however I noticed severe splintering on both sides; Today i exchange day the board, again went to was gently in the direction of the grain, and to no surprise! SPLINTERING!! I’d label this item unsafe for use!

Bad quality

This cutting board started separating within a month after use, which wasn't very frequent. The quality is awful and very cheaply made. Save your money, don't buy this.
