I cannot praise this item and Driftwood Interiors enough. The chopping board arrived within the time specified on ordering. It is a unique piece and beautifully crafted. It is sturdy and will last more than a lifetime! It is a Christmas gift for my husband who I know will be thrilled when he opens it. I think it would be suitable to use for a chopping board or serving platter and will just get better with use. Thank you so much for this quality product which will have pride of place in our home,
