I love Epicurean's cutting boards. My first was purchased over 20 years ago and is my favorite board. I have had wooden boards split and plastic boards stain over the same time frame that my Epicurean board has been in use . There are fewer scratch marks on the Epicurean board and it is still in very good condition after decades. I recently decided that I wanted to replace my plastic boards and was delighted to see that Epicurean boards like the one I had were still being made. The color is not as rich as the color of my older, larger board (old on left, new on right), but I am happy to have two sizes that basically match. Would buy again.
