I looked at and debated the Boardsmith for over a year before making the commitment due to the price. I love my new board. The feet make it exceptional. A cutting board that slides around and doesn't stay in place is incredibly frustrating; however, the feet on the Boardsmith prevent sliding. My new board looks beautiful on the counter, stays put, is easy to maintain with the oil, is easy on my knives and can go right to the table. I'm so glad I finally made the choice to purchase and plan to purchase a larger board as well. Well worth it.
