Summary: Stay Away from Totally Bamboo
Comment: I bought two of their other endgrain cutting boards and both bowed and cracked in under a month of use. The second of the two boards was oiled 3 times in that one month period and still cracked and bowed. Bamboo also stains much faster than traditional cutting boards do.
STAY AWAY!

Summary: Totally Bamboo times two
Comment: This is the second TB Congo I have purchased in the last month. I've thrown out all of my other boards. The board is the perfect size and heft and is downright beautiful. With proper maintenance, I expect a long life from these boards.
My Amazon experience this second time was disappointing.
The board arrived in the bottom of a large box with the protectant air bags on top of the board. Any impacts to the bottom of the box would have damaged the board. I was lucky. Additionally, this board came with one loop of jute twine around it and one TB tag. It was clearly a (barely) "repackaged" return from someone else. My first TB board was entirely wrapped front and back and packaged securely, surrounded with air bags.
I expect and have gotten better from Amazon.

Summary: Cracked within months
Comment: I purchased this board on the recommendation of Cooks Illustrated. I was really pleased with this board - for a few months. I oiled it as recommended, but it split in two places after about 3 months. Their ad specifically says it will not split or crack. I wrote to Totally Bamboo, and they are replacing the board for a new $6 shipping charge. In the meantime, it has warped badly and is difficult to use. I will see how the new one holds up.

Summary: Great cutting board
Comment: Based on the Cook's Illustrated recommendation I bought one of Totally Bamboo's smaller end grain bamboo boards (the Zambia). That board has been great for small tasks, but I also needed a larger board for bigger tasks, so I came back and picked up the Congo. It has likewise been a great board, no obvious signs of splitting or warping, light enough to be easy to handle yet solid enough to stay where you put it. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great cutting board!
Comment: This board is not only nice to look at, it has great "knife feel"- i.e. clean, positive cutting action. It cleans easily and I have not experienced any warping issues as reported by others. America's Test Kitchen was correct in his praise.
