The Ultimate Pastry Board!
This board has many features not described. Although it is very large, it will probably find a permanent home on your kitchen counter since it is multi-functional. First, there is a basic recipe on the board for plain pastry. In addition to having measurements in lenght, width, and 4 different diameters (including diameter for a tart), flip it over and you have the perfect cutting board with wide gooves on each side to catch liquids or other unwanted materials. It is made of solid wood that is of the highest quality; it is worth every penny. This demanding cook could not be more pleased.

Nice pastry board, but not a cutting board
As advertised, this is a pastry board: it is *not* a cutting board. It has no grooves, and is not end-cut (so will tend to warp if it gets a lot of liquid on it over time). It is quite large, and the markings are very useful, with one exception: they tried to include both English and Metric units, but arranged them wrong! The English units are *only* lengthwise along the board, and the Metric are *only* width-wise -- that doesn't make any sense: if you were using one set of units (and who isn't!!) you want to use the same units for both dimensions. I don't roll out 12 inch by 30 centimeter crusts! Also, it has no feet, so you will want to place a wet towel under it while you are rolling things out to keep it from slipping.

Pros:
1) Large, sturdy board
2) Useful markings for rolling pie crust
3) Overall high quality and good for what it is advertised for

Cons:
1) Not useful as a cutting board (but they don't advertise it as such)
2) Inclusion of two unit systems is not useful as laid out on the board
3) No feet, so need a non-skid pad when working

Great Pastry Board for your baking needs
This board is a handy when you need to make a pie crust that needs to be a certain diameter because the diagram is all laid out for you. I have an old tupperware plastic roll-out graphic pastry board and it got warped real quick. This is wonderful. The only problem is storage. It doesn't fit in my standard size cabinet, but it does fit in the pantry on it's side (so it doesn't take up too much room).
