I'm curious-- does anyone have smooth textured splotches all over their board? I have used the board once and am displeased about the discoloration.

The discoloration is probably caused by it not being oiled correctly. I highly recommend you read up on oiling your cutting board, but if it turns out you've oiled it correctly and didn't put it in the dishwasher or anything, I'd return it for another. When I get a new end grain board, I oil it every day for a week, then at least once a week for the next month, then as needed (it starts to look dry). This will ensure that your investment is protected. I have a wide variety of boards, from this one, to side and end grain teak and I have to be honest - this one is the best. Good wood cutting boards require maintenance though.

Yes I do too! But, didn't know what had caused the discoloration because the board hadn't even been used yet.

We haven't had the red issue but we have had the screen turn colors and the black vertical lines happen. The unit has cheap capacitors in them. If you can solder it is a $5 fix. If you canT and you buy the new board about $120 fix. Very easy fix though. Look it up on Youtube and you can see what I am talking about. Youtube instructions stepped me through it....super easy

Looking at mine as we speak. Many knife marks from normal cutting. I do treat with olive and wood oil. Nice board.. Doesn't take a beating though..

Yes....Overall a nice looking board. Customer support is slow and, as I said in my review, the key paint does not hold up.

Mine is cracked too. I suppose they sell the board but this will have to be direct with the manufacture, write them!

I would suggest you go look at teak furniture because that will give you a better idea of what it looks like. Otherwise, my board has tan,brown and red in it. I also keep it oiled and that brings out the colors beautifully. I suggest you oil yours about once a month because they look better and it is recommended for all wood cutting boards.

Did it arrive that way? It should look smooth and clear. I bought mine on black Friday through Amazon and it still looks goid. I would contact Visual Land there should be a 1 year warranty. Good luck.

Same issue with the mint case. So sad, because I love the colour, but it's turning all brownish around the bumper edges... sigh. Might have to get the black one, so that stains won't show. Have not tried cleaning it yet, but if I find a good solution I will post it.

That has not been a problem for me. I agree that the board does split/crack and swells when washed.

I just used the board cream. It's kind of frustrating though because I used it regularly and my board warped anyway...even though I made sure it never got put in the dishwasher. I would still recommend it. It moisterizes the wood really well.

I had to treat mine on a weekly basis for the first couple of months, make sure you are doing both sides and the edges. I also use the Emmet's Elixir-expensive but worth it. Now I oil the board about once a month, if that, and it has stayed very smooth. I did find that putting the oil on then placing plastic wrap on top of the board overnight or while I was away for the day seemed to make the board take the oil better. Just wipe off the excess and you're back in business. I love this board and wish I had bought one a long time ago!

I just got it in the mail today.but sadly the clear seems to be the same finish as the standard :|bummer I had to break the packaging seal to check, now it's probably not returnable. oh well...now I have a replacement at least :)

Mine hasn't discolored and the UV coating on the case is supposed to prevent that from happening as advertised. I'm pretty happy with my case that I bought an extra one. Hope that helps!

Yeah I get smudge marks from my most used keys. I ended up putting a small price of cloth over the keyboard when I close it to prevent from happening.

My dart board is fine too, you must have a bad board. I'd ask for a replacement.. We like ours a lot.

YES!!! I have had a few "print drags" but they faded immediately. I just keep my lint cloth nearby and wipe the screen at the end of my session. I haven't had a smearing problem and I wipe the screen at the end of my session out of force of habit.

They give you 2 months to send back the board if it is defective or anything is bad. Then they will send you a new one. I am not sure if that is the warranty given by the manufacturer or amazon... please let me know if you get to know more than that. Grip of my board was not glued well when i got the board but i didn't know i could replace the item until the warranty ended.
