Amazon.com Review
Thanks to great materials and a smart design, this cutting and carving board from OXO makes prepwork faster, safer, and easier to clean up. Created from a thick piece of nonporous and odor-resistant polypropylene, the board features hand-friendly tapered grips that serve the dual purpose of slip-resistance. And, because both sides are designed for chopping, you can slice raw chicken on one side then flip it over to dice onions on the other without cross-contamination. Knives like this cutting board, too, because it maintains sharp edges while resisting deep scratches. A helpful juice groove keeps liquids off the countertop, and the whole board goes in the dishwasher for convenient cleanup. Measuring 15 by 21 inches, the piece is white with black edges. Two smaller versions are also available. --Emily Bedard

The board looked great when it arrived.

Here's the bad news.
You cannot see in the photo but the board has four very small pegs
on each corner. These "grips" create a thin space between the board and the counter.
Although the board does not slip, it causes the board to "bounce
back" after each chop because it is not flush with the counter.

I would not recommend the product for this reason.

Good Idea, bad execution
We usually really like OXO products, which is why we purchased a cutting board from them. The board is almost everything you'd expect an OXO product to be. It's non skid and set up so it doesn't rock while you cut. It also has a very clever channel on one of the sides to keep liquid from running onto your counter. The only complaint we had about the cutting board was that our knife cut huge grooves into the board material on the first use. Not only does this make it very difficult to scrape up food once you've cut it, but it also leaves the board susceptible to bacteria. I would have expected the board to be a lot more durable and not be so easily scratched up. Even cheap boards we have purchased lasted longer than this board did.

Size is good and bad
I bought this board for its size. 15 by 21 inches is large enough to handle chopping or prepping almost any quantity of food I deal with when cooking for two. The channels around the edges are also nice for catching liquid when carving a bird so spillage isn't a problem.

I have noticed the fact that the surface gets marred pretty quickly with use but it is a cutting board and I don't mind. One of the other reviewers mentioned that they think this helps bacteria to grow, but I don't think that is the case. The material is non-porous and solid all the way through.

My only real problem with it is that the board is so large it doesn't easily fit in my sink and that makes it really hard to clean it. Other people may have larger sinks than me, but that is something you should consider when buying.
