the visually eye-catching is in advance. Top processed because nothing wobbles, and after 6 weeks of use has nothing warped etc. Bamboo is due to its antibacterial properties, a great material for a cutting board. That was the main decisive point. However, the cutting properties of my knives come significantly better advantage than on NP 0815 Ikea board.
One star deduction would be feasible for the relatively high weight. Me personally it interferes less, but for some it restricts the handling a bit. I prefer rock solid quality, as a flyweight. Depending on the arm muscles so 4 or 5 stars)
