I hate leaving a one star review after years of being such good friends and buying some beautiful well made home decor pieces that I love and treasure. I have sent my daughter's, cousin's, friends your way. I love this company. And still do. But...you let me down. First the good thing I can say about the cutting boards they are gorgeous from ten feet away and are HUGE. The bad, not worth $80. Not an item I would want to gift. What happened ladies? How could these pass quality control? Are you cutting corners to cut costs? I hope this is a fluke. I have spent a few thousand on gifts for friends and family and my home over the years. The quality has always been top notch that is why I am baffled. The wood doesn't feel smooth. The inlay piece has been inserted with too big of a gap that bacteria will grow in it if used. The blade must have been dull as my boards are splintered. The wood is so rough you will snag your kitchen wash cloth on it to wipe clean. I am not sure it's even sealed unless they sprayed it on? This is the worst piece I have ever bought from Decorsteal. I would return it but I am battling stage 4 inoperable cancer at the moment and too weak and sick. I also bought these as a gift. With struggling to pay my cancer care this is a lot of money to throw away. Maybe I can help prevent someone else from the same mistake. Sorry Decorsteal. Not sure how many years I have been buying from you, eight, ten, first complaint from me that says a lot about this great company. I am not going anywhere. But I don't like throwing away money either.
