Oxo Good Grips Bamboo Cutting Board Review

I have the 12x16 version of this board, and I really loved it up until a few days ago. Good knife feel, lots of control, non-slip, attractive, and cleans up easily. Unfortunately, after about four months of daily use, it has bowed slightly. It is no longer stable on the counter if I set it grooved-side-down. I've placed a sheet of shelf liner underneath to rectify the problem, but it sort of defeats the purpose of why I bought it in the first place.
I am careful about keeping my wooden utensils and cutting boards well-oiled and away from excessive moisture, so it wasn't due to neglect.
I also scarred up the silicone edge a bit, when I was slicing vegetables near one side of the board. Not a huge problem, just unsightly. Also, there's a slight edge on the silicone sides that makes it difficult to sweep food off. Just make sure to sweep off one of the long sides.
I'm going to see if Oxo will exchange it for me; I'm hoping it was just a fluke.

This is a great cutting board; it is large enough for almost anything and it has a solid weight to it so it won't slide around. Buy some bamboo oil for it too so it stays in good condition over time.

A smart choice for appetizer presentation or bread and cheese on a buffet, this Island Bamboo platter doubles as cutting board to simplify prep work. It features vertical grain, caramelized colors, and natural antimicrobial properties, and it measures a generous 20 by 1 by 14 inches. Made from moso bamboo, which is not a food source for the giant panda, the platter is unique, functional, attractive, and earth friendly. A handsome and durable material, moso bamboo comes from renewable sources and is 16 percent harder than maple. A heating and curing process darkens the natural sugars in the bamboo, resulting in an attractively varied caramel coloring.
Island Bamboo prides itself on innovative designs and quality craftsmanship, using only natural and approved food-grade bonding glues and select-grade bamboo. Colors do not come from stains or dyes and will not wash out or fade with use. For best maintenance of Island Bamboo products, wash by hand with soap and water and periodically apply food-safe Bamboo Renew.
