Lakeland Beech Chopping Block 5 "Quality, solid, naturally antibacterial chopping block" Rhoda Martin 27 November 2019 Beech is a naturally dense wood with antibacterial properties so I was not surprised by the weight. The groove is handy for catching small crumbs or finely diced vegetables helping to keep worktops clear. Even better it is easily stored vertically in the small chopping block rack (item#22911) also sold by Lakeland, which is a boon in my small kitchen. Highly recommend!
Lakeland Beech Chopping Block 5 "Great Board." Dr Anderson 25 February 2019 Good, solid board. The groove around the edge catches a lot of the crumbs, keeping the worktop much tidier. When placed on a tea towel it hardly moves making cutting much more accurate.
Lakeland Beech Chopping Block 4 "Audpatch" Mrs Vaughan 29 September 2017 Good solid board but I find it too heavy to handle. Would be OK if I had space to leave it out on the work surface permanently.
