While the board is durable, we recommend using it primarily for serving rather than heavy-duty chopping. Cutting directly on the marble can dull your knife blades, and the wood section may show knife marks over time.

The board itself weighs 5 pounds. It is substantial and sturdy, so keep in mind that once you add a full spread of cheese and charcuterie, it will have significant weight when you lift it by the handle.
