2 in 1 Wooden Butcher's Block

Looks good quality. Bought as a gift which has not yet been given

Lovely item available for collection earlier than expected

This is fine for chopping fruit and vegetables and carving cooked meat. However, it is too big to easily fit in my sink to scrub , or fit in a drawer to store. I leave it out on the work surface and mainly use it for vegetable preparation.

Exactly what I was after. Well made, solid and functional.

Received in a few days expected. Item well wrapped and protected from damage. On opening was pleasanty surprised to see it had been oiled however. That said it wasnt beading enough so gave a couple of coats using a good quality mineral oil over a couple of days before first use. Now water beads nicely and board will not split if washed and dried properly - which is a common outcome for those expecting wood to require the same level of care as plastic! The only two criticiscm, if I can call them that, which I would knock of 1/2 star only if I could is: 1) There is no mention of the wood type which for me was important. I did some research and was pleasantly surprised at the choice so M&S please do state. For this price this is a bargain.... 2) The board being flippable is great but results in it easily sliding on a smooth worktop - not ideal when it comes to carving a joint and is noisy when choping as no sound insulation. It would have been nice if they put some rubber feet somehow but appreciate this would be harder to do on a board that is used both sides. They clearly recognise the issue by including a matt but this matt is actually a plate rest as I have exactly the same in a different colour. It doesnt help in any meaningful way. I will find some small low profile rubber feet I can sknock/screw in to make it more stable and less noisy when chopping.

Love it, such great quality looks very expensive !
