bought these for $15.00 at a box store-was excited because they were bamboo. THe 2 small ones split in 1/2 in less than a month, the large one is cracking but I am still using it 6 mths now. Geez cheap crap (get what you pay for)

I had never used bamboo cooking boards...so I used it for the first time...and the wood started peeling off! I washed it...and it shed worse. So I did some investigation. You have to cure the wood with mineral oil. When I say have to...I actually mean HAVE TO. BEFORE USE and often for the first month. Monthly after that. Wood is better for knives, which is why I got them, but be prepared. Use the mineral oil on it....before you use it. Follow up: Over a year later... I've had these for over a year now. They are doing well and holding up well. The first month was a little bit of work...but you can tell when they are starting to dry out and need to be re-oiled, I don't find it to be very high maintenance. I researched and from what I discovered, mineral in the drugstore section is the same things as the expensive ones made for curing bamboo. So I buy the cheap stuff and it works just fine. Just be sure to not leave the board submersed in water(my daughter did that on accident and the board warped, after a couple months it dried out and flattened again), and wipe off the extra oil after curing it.

Too small..

Some of the wood scuffs off

I was surprised at how small they are, I had bought a 3-piece for same price in store and these are smaller, one of them is so small is basically useless for cutting.

The boards spilt apart.

Ok for a cheap set

They are very good, but only for light cutting and shopping due to its very thin and very very light weigh. I do not recommend this set at all because you will be very disappointment when you see and feel how light and thin they are.

For the price, they're fine. Had a lot of bamboo shards coming off when I took them out of the package. You MUST oil them every week, or else they will split fast.
