Fox Run 3829 Marble Pastry Board White, 16 x 20 x 0.75 inches

First and foremost, this was packaged in three outer boxes and the box that it is sold in with bubble wrap-nothing g was going to damage this in shipping! The piece of marble is beautiful-very little gray color on white and no veining-the bottom has four non skid feet and the person complaining in another review mentioned it needs on in the middle for support but I disagree-the board is thick and low to the countertop so it’s not going to bend with its own weight or working with a roller-I wanted to also mention, when looking for a pastry board like this, make sure it’s solid marble-I purchased one prior to this and it was a marbke veneer over ceramic, like an oversized trivet, and that is far from a solid piece like this-I recommend!

I’m was disappointed. I purchased a large marble pastry board and it was well packaged by Amazon and Fox Run. This was a gift for my husband’s 69th birthday. It had a crack that went through the entire chunk of marble and due to the slight yellowed discoloration, appeared to have been repaired at some point(?). We we’re able to return it and replace it with another board, and it arrived in time for DH’s birthday. It is beautiful and flawless.

I have purchased many of these for use with my audio turntables. These marble boards are spacious enough to accomodate any turntable I have tried to use it with, and the marble provides a very nice stable platform. I mount some special vibration-dampening rubber mounts and remove the original rubber mounts that the board comes with. Packaging is exceptional (I have ordered 10 of these) and I have never received a damaged board. These would make an excellent "shower" gift (new home, wedding, etc), or a great gift for your turntable!!!

It took two tries to get an unbroken board. The board is beautiful though I hope marble is not weaker along the grain. The only problem I have out of the box is how slippery this is on a granite counter top. You'd think they'd use rubber feet. This is my only complaint. Edited after some use: I thought the feet were pegged on or mounted in some sort of more permanent way. Turns out they are just glued on. I probably could have figured it out if I read the reviews more closely. The glue is brittle. One of the feet has been knocked off already. I'm starting to dislike this board the more I use it. At least I know I can now knock off all the feet and find something more appropriate and non-skid. At this point I wouldn't recommend this board. This might be one of those things you need to buy locally. New Edit: This was my first marble board and I was getting less happy with each use. I couldn't stop it from sliding and it I even chipped it a little when it smacked into the granite back splash. I decided to try something different. Based on another review here I purchased a large board from Crate & Barrel. What a difference. I mean what a big difference. The C&B board has six rubber feet that hold in place. Note I said 6. This means there is less pressure in the middle of the board so less chance of it splitting down the middle. The C&B board has a larger surface area. The weight on the rubber feet means the board has not moved no matter how sticky the dough is. The C&B board is larger and almost exactly the same price with shipping factored in. Now I know what a good marble board is and now I know the one here is not good. I don't like giving bad reviews but I gave this board as much of a chance as I could. Check the C&B board out and you will be happier.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my mother, who has been wanting something similar. After looking on several websites for the perfect fit, I found this Marble Pastry Board. It seemed to be the best price for the size of the marble slab. It just arrived today and it was packaged with much care so that it wouldn't break in shipping. There was a massive box with a bunch of packing paper and a smaller box inside of it. The smaller box had a bunch of bubble wrap and finally the product box inside of it. The product box had a Styrofoam mold around the marble. Once I finally got to the marble itself, it was beautiful. It is nice and smooth, with no cracks, or scratches. I'm very satisfied with this product and just might buy one for myself.

I have been making foods, and taking photos at home. Got this for better presentation for the food I have created. Decent size, and great price. Much cheaper than replacing my counter top. I know the patter on the board is random, since this is an actual natural marble. I was willing to take a chance, luckily I got a decent pattern and light color. After using it for the 1st time, I was caught off guard, there was a stain on it, and I had a tough time to get it off. I couldn't believe it!!! So, I did some digging, then discovered that Marble is not that easy to maintain. You can't put any acid foods on there, and there are pores, so it will get stained. To remove those, you need very specific type of Marble cleaners/wax and etc. I never knew about it before. Now I am very careful about what I put on the board, I try to keep it mostly pastries, and etc. It might be a bit of work to maintain it, but it is a very solid board, very heavy when I received it. Great quality, and feel can last a long time, as long you take good care of it. So, if this is your 1st Marble board, look up how to maintain it, so you won't be surprised.

I bought this to use in my art projects (I make miniature clay sculptures) because the marble has a very cold, flat surface that works well with the intended purpose. I'm not so certain about using it as a cutting board, as marble is usually intended to be used to roll out dough. You may actually wreck your knives doing so, and probably start tearing up the non-stick on the board itself. I tend to use an Xacto knife and several other art tools with it, and while I've had no wear or tear on it in the time that I've had it, I do realize that eventually I may have to reapply the non-stick coating or get small lines in the board itself. It is a tiny bit heavy, but that is to be expected from a solid piece of marble. It's not too heavy, though, and most people wouldn't have a real need to move it about too much. It cleans really easily with soap and water, as well, when it comes to clay, though it is a bit big for any sink! I haven't noticed any residue left behind whenever I do so. Over all, while for what I have it for works really great, I do believe it would also work marvelously as a "product placement" board (to show off all those awesome things you've made!) or as a board to roll out dough and pasties. I don't really recommend using knives of any kind on it.

I love this! I was looking for something flat and large like this, not as a cookie board, and this is perfect. But if this product was looked at for simply a cutting board, it seems pretty good. It is very big and VERY heavy so do keep that in mind. It has little feet on the bottom of it that hold it about a half inch up. When I reserved it, it was very hot due to weather but cooled down after about 10 or so minutes out of the box. It could in a box, in a box. The box it came in was huge with a lot of extra space which was mostly filled with paper. I think it should be shipped in a shorter box, its about a feet and a half tall but whatever. There was a small amount of damage but nothing severe or surprising since it is made of a rock. And the face I got with my marble is simply captivating.
