Split and I haven’t even used it yet lolNathanDecided to ignore the reviews of it splitting thinking I might get lucky. Well I got lucky that my board split before even using it. Oiled it per instructions, washed and wiped dry, next day it had split. 1
Board split within a weekAlexWe didn’t soak it, we lightly wiped away after using, dried upright and it split within a week 1
Nice cutting board- needed a little adjusting. JanineGood size and style of cutting board. I like the lip edges. Only drawback was a high spot on one side that I’ll have to sand down so it doesn’t wobble or spin on my countertop.4
NaturalRuxeVery good cutting board. 5
Unusable right out of the packagingEmilyI was so excited to see this on a recent trip to IKEA after it being out of stock last year. I should have checked the reviews before I bought it. I just unwrapped it and gave it a quick wash only to watch it come apart before my very eyes. The surface was immediately covered in splinters. I’ll be sure to avoid ikea cutting boards moving forward. Our closest ikea is 3 hours away so we just have to take this one as a learning experience. Hopefully this review helps you not make the same mistake!1
Poor Quality Cutting BoardRubyI was so excited to get this for the price but sadly the quality is not there. After the first wash the surface was rough and splintering. I tried to salvage it by sanding it and treating it with butcher block wax. Time will tell if this helps!2
Terrible Product, Terrible Service – A Waste of Time and MoneyMariaAs someone who enjoys cooking but has a small kitchen, this product was exactly what I needed.
However, after just one use, the surface started flaking, and within a couple of days, the wood began to warp and split. The damage was obvious and significant. I took care to try to avoid excessive water contact, but the fact that this cutting board is designed for use over a sink—where water is naturally present—makes the design utterly flawed. It's clear that it can’t withstand even basic usage without falling apart.
What the worst part was when I was told I couldn’t return the product within the 180-day window because it was "too damaged," even though the issue—warping of the wood—has been consistently flagged in reviews, and the staff admitted that they frequently process returns for the same problem. This is my first bad experience with IKEA, and it left me furious.
Please stop buying this product so IKEA can stop selling this product and wasting everyone's time and money.1
Beautiful LouiseNice size for chopping veggies and or cutting a good size roast. Beautiful wood heavy duty, not a light weight cutting board.5
Unusable SarahWood broke just unwrapping it. After I washed it to see if I could salvage it, the wood all splintered. I can't use this even as a surface. 1
Great looking, but won’t use it for it’s intended purpose Claire MI came on here to order a second one of these for the other side of my sink. I oiled the one I bought months ago, but haven’t used it but once or twice. It still looks good, but l I’ll come up with another use for it besides a cutting board. I’m disappointed the reviews aren’t good. 4
big disappointmentValerieThis board has lost its properties after a month of careful use. It was a very beautiful color, but after washing with water several times it lost color, small fluff appeared on the wood, and after several weeks one panel of the wood came off
The item cost quite a lot for a cutting board and I'm disappointed in the quality1
It helps.DonaHave a double sink and this fits perfectly over one for extra space or use next to the open sink for whatever. Cheap alternative and good quality. 5
SplintersSubbuSealed it twice as recommended with Walnut oil. The board looked great. But after a few uses, I am noticing that there are splinters on most of the surface. Wood is too rough and splinters may not be safe. Will return it. 1
Bleeds Finish on White CountertopsEboneeI love the look of this cutting board but I have washed it 6 times and it still bleeds the finish on my countertops and on the sponges I use to wash them with.1
Nice but don’t get it wetChrisI have 2 of these and they are nice. Someone left a wet towel on one and it started to come apart. It’s a little difficult to oil but they are nice cutting boards.3
Love the thoughtTaraLoved the thought of it. Fit my sink perfect. Split after having it 2 days.1
Nice cutting board and serves dual purposeKevinIt doesn’t quite fit the exact dimensions of my kitchen sink top (a little larger than one side) but it is otherwise excellent and a great way to hide dirty dishes when you have unexpected company, lol4
SplintersAlexIt fits my sink and has enough surface for doing a decent amount of prep work. I sealed it with oil (several coats, rather than the recommended single coat) and the seal is holding up.
On the other hand, the wood was not properly sanded during manufacturing and is still leaving splinters coming up after a week of use.
Would not recommend for purchase.1
It’s cool in theoryRobertIt’s cool fits the sink but it is very coarse and not easy to wash. You can feel that bacteria can get into this easily3
Prepared as instructions, oil’d,24 hrs etc, rinsed once and now splittersAnnaI prepared the cutting board as instructed. Cut an onion , bell peppers and dripped pancake mix on it so I rinsed the board. When it dried, it splintered and had a rough surface. Basically the grain “popped”. The grain should have been “popped” and sanded during manufacturing. Something got missed. Will be returning. Looking at the reviews, this has a frequency of happening.1
