Can the top be used as a cutting board?

Like was said earlier, it is cheap tile with cheap grout that would definitely get in your knives. Plus since it is tile, it isn't flat so it wouldn't really work for that.

No, it's a cheap tile top that will damage knives and potentially chip. I wouldn't even try it.

I wouldn't. It's not thick enough as a cutting board. My daughter used hers as an extension to her counters.

I don't believe the intention is to reuse. Not sure it would function correctly if you cut off the top.

Yes, you can place just about anything on the top. The only thing the heat might affect is anything placed directly in front of it, otherwise there is no real change in temperature to the wooden surface.

You can use it as a butcher block. I mostly use it for rolling out bread or simple things. For serious chopping I prefer to use a separate cutting board because I don't want to stain the wooden surface. I also don't like to mix things like meats and vegetables on the same surface to keep things really safe in the kitchen. I seriously LOVE this cabinet.

No!! It is not a cutting board and will look terrible with all the knife marks.

not sure, it has a grip bottom which is great and I have an electric stove. If it is cool I can place this board on top of it. It is a beautiful cutting board.

You could but probably wouldn't want to because a knife will leave marks. I would recommend you add a separate cutting board.

You would leave a scratch on the surface since it is stainless steel. I would use a cutting board.

I would not use it as a cutting board. It looks and feels like it is finished with some kind of hard sealant, unknown whether chips of which would contaminate food. If you use it as a cutting board, you will inevitably eat some of it. But let's assume it is finished with a food-safe finish, I still wouldn't use it as a cutting board. It's a pretty and a useful table, and I wouldn't want to mar it up. I personally use a piece of oil cloth to cover it, and then put a cutting board on that. But I'm an old guy born of humble beginnings, so I take good care of my stuff. Hope this helps.

Yes, I think it could, but it is not counter height. I put a thick cutting board on top, and that brings it up a bit, but it is still about 3 inches shorter than my kitchen counter top.

You could use the top for a cutting surface but it would show the knife marks just like any cutting board.

Yes, but when I use it I make sure there is nothing, nothing near it and I place a wooden cutting board under it. I hope this helps.

I tend to use the bamboo board for fruits, veggies, cheese etc and another older cutting boatd for meat poultry. I would think, though, that it would be an all purpose board as long as you scrub with soap and water in between uses

I see no reason why not if it is simply sitting on the stove top. I would think it inconvenient to use the board as a work surface while it is on the stove. And check all measurements. The board has a lip on front that hooks over a counter edge to stabilize it and one at the back that keeps flour, etc. on the working surface.

I would assume you can if you are just using for a counter top. If you are going to use for cutting food prep etc. I would not recommend staining

I do not think so. It would be better to laminate another layer over the top for a flat surface in my opinion. Sorry, hope it helps.

Actually, it can. What I did was to turn the cutting board over and chop on that side. This way, the front can be used for measurements, sand its' nice and clean. :O)
