Joseph chopping boards

Has anyone got one of these?

The larger ones have mixed reviews on Amazon, so I'd like to hear a few more opinions if anyone can help.

Yes, I got one as a wedding present. It worked really well for about a year and then the handle part fell off.

So, IMO, a good idea but not very durable. I still have the chopping board part though!

Also, the knife marks show really strongly and go very deep on the one I've got (in black). I think it is a bit unhygienic really with all those grooves full of germs, so if that sort of thing bothers you it's probably not for you! It also looks quite unsightly.

Effing hopeless IMO. Was bought one and the bloody thing won't stay flat when I'm chopping on it because of the handle, so it flaps around and all the bits of carrot or onion go everywhere. I was too worried about the grooves splitting too work it so that it would stay flat, so it was relegated to the loft.

If you like it, I think it can go in the dishwasher, which is what I do with all our other plastic chopping boards anyway.

I put mine in the dishwasher and wonder of that hastened its demise!

They are ok - not great. The knife marks do really show and the colour of mine has faded in the dishwasher so that it looks quite scruffy (after 3 months use) - but they are thin and easy to store. I think they are way too pricey for the quality and the short length of time hat they look good for. Would not buy again.

I have the set of 4 different coloured flat ones, and they score terribly. Reasonably handy though as the case means the 4 boards take up very little room.

I've got a black one which I've used almost daily for about 3 years with none of the problems anyone's described!

yes, i have just got a large green one at tk max for £7.99 so i thought worth it at that price. After hearing others' comments about the lack of longevity -i'm glad i didn't pay full price in J lewis .
