John Boos Block WAL-CCB183-R Classic Collection Walnut Wood End Grain Round Chopping Block, 18 Inches Round x 3 Inches

Purchased as a gift, which was very well received and compliments any kitchen. The wood patterns are beautiful, and it really holds up... even makes for a conversation piece when displayed on the counter. I recommend.

I love my Boos round walnut block. It was not advertised as "reversible" but it is - just a center hole about the size of a wooden pencil - filled with compound. Blocks like these cannot be left to soak in water; they WILL come apart! Put the Boos oil and bees wax paste on 'um.

I bought this for 530$ and expected it to last much longer than 22 months. This block was used mainly for steaks and roasts and did not receive daily use. I use a cheap cutting board for daily use and this block split out of no where even being conditioned with boos specific brand. I’m very disappointed and reading that the warranty is only year is even more disappointing. I am going to reach out to see if they will make it right but reading dozens of reviews online where the common answer is if not within the year mark they don’t even bother replying. What a waste of money smh.

I bought this item in 2018 but I haven’t actually used it as a cutting board bc I think it is too beautiful. I have used Boos cream oil about four times. I haven’t had any issues of splitting or any other defects. Hopefully someone else can get the deal I got in the price buying it directly from amazon without original packaging. I paid $156.00.

I purchased the walnut Boos chopping block eight years ago. It is durable, easy to clean and maintain, and worth the money. I also purchased the Boos Mystery Oil and Butcher Block Cream. I maintain mine with the recommended products and haven’t had any problems. I clean it after each use, maintain it using the block cream and mystery oil, and leave it out my countertop year round. It is used almost daily. The walnut does darken and it loses some of the lighter hues over time when treated with the oil, but oil darkens wood over time. If properly cared for (not placed in water and not placed in direct sunlight for years), I imagine this chopping block will last a lifetime.

Arrived looking beautiful, as expected. Oiled it properly. I have several boos wood boards and I know how to properly care for them - this is the first Boos board I have ever purchased that has cracked before being used. It is also the first end grain block - and the last. There are two cracks in the middle area of the chopping surface and one larger crack toward the edge. The cracks were not cracks when I first oiled the block. Seems the glue is not holding. For the price of this chopping block, this is a great disappointment.

When I first received this it was beautiful as expected, but after about 2 weeks, it began to split down the middle. For the price, I expected a much higher quality. I have another generic butcher block that I paid a lot less for that is still perfect after years!

Would have been a beautiful addition to the kitchen but had a large crack and one smaller one. Returned due to the cracks.
