Will this board work well as a trivet (heat resistant)? Does it stain easily? Thanks!

I have not used this for a hot pan without a hot pad underneath, to prevent thermal shock. I am careful with really sharp knives, as they can scratch. I don't use it for staining berries, as it is porous.

No. It will work fine for most things but marble can crack if too much heat is applied.

This is no stain. It might look a little darker, but no stain. It is more like a wax "Bees wax" sealer that conditions the wood. I use it on my end grain wood cutting board. It looks great. It says it's a food grade product. I use it warmed up a bit. Personally I like the oil product they sell also.I use them both.

I see two other people already provided the sizes :) I have not had any problems with staining!

Sorry, I have no idea about temperature rating and would never have thought to use it as a trivet. I'd be afraid it would melt. According to the website "answer bag", silicone melts above 932 deg F. I still wouldn't put a hot pot on it!

I haven't used this yet, but you can stain with the Ardex SD-M stain and it will adhere. Apparently, other stains will not work. For more info go to karapaslaydesigndotcom. She is a huge fan of this product, and gives step by step instructions on her blog. Hope to get to using this in my kitchen soon.

I didn't stain mine, but the paint came out nicely! If you were to paint then clear coat it with a thin layer of polyurethane, it should be protected for a good amount of time!

I only use it to dry dishes, pots and pans, and anything that can't go in the dishwasher. Do not know whether it can be used as a trivet and to sustain heat. Msybe the manufacturer or somewhere on the web you may find these specs. Sorry.

It appears to made very durable. It looks like a very light colored & smooth textured wood. I believe it could be easily stained. It doesn't weigh a lot, but again, I was very impressed with its over all strength. I hesitated to make this purchase for fear the durability wouldn't be good because of the price, however, upon using it, the DID stand holds my dvd's securely in place and preforms much better than the other two that I purchased a few years ago. As I stated before, you may want to stain it if you don't like the light color. I would purchase this item again and would highly recommend it to others. I hope this information has been helpful.

We got for heat resistance so not sure it would work for what you want. It is strong but thin. I think i would try duck tape for what you want comes in every color now.

Its so pretty...why would you want to.. ? :-) But seriously it has a shellacked or polyurethane finish on it. It is not raw wood like a cutting board so I guess this is why. I want to keep it pretty so I do use a cutting board to protect the finish but, that was simply my choice. You will love it.

Hi K, unfortunately it's not real wood. It's a pressed wood with a veneer finish, so you couldn't stain it. It was actually good you asked just now, my contractor who is building cabinetry in my family room is here and I took it in to ask him. He said if you like it that much you could find the assembly plans and have it custom made because its such a simple design. I don't know what kind of price he was talking though, or if you're that interested in it. Please let me know if I can answer anymore questions for you.

No, the top is not stain proof. It is finished wood. Water, heat , marker, could all stain it.

I wouldn't attempt it. It's so nice the way it is. I'd be afraid that I would ruin it with the stain. It's hard to know if its treated with any type of sealant that would make it resistant to staining it a different color.

Hi! It appears to be so far. It has a couple of nice coats of poly on it and I haven't noticed any stains. We also have the kitchen set and is holding up beautifully thusfar. I hope this helps!

Mine is great. I use it all winter on my 1920 Glenwood cookstove to slow cook and braise. Thus far I've had no probs with staining but I don't think it's much to worry about at any rate. I use Bar Keepers friend to clean any stubborn enamel. It works great and does not scratch. It's an old product made from rhubarb.

My silicone spoon rests are extremely stain resistant. I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

It is nicely sanded and readily takes stain. Just be advised that the stain will be blotchy and uneven due to the characteristics of pine. You might want to consider a wood conditioner before you stain it. I used Minwax Golden Oak stain (no conditioner) with a couple coats of Minwax Satin Polyurethane and it looks OK. I waxed the insides of the top and bottom rails and it slides very smoothly.
