Is there enough space on top to rest a cutting board while not in use?

Yes, if it is a small cutting board.I used to have an oval shaped cutting board, and that would fit nicely.

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

You would need a separate cutting board; the top is NOT a butcher block. (It is a wonderfully crafted island; incredibly useful, and holds a ton of stuff on the two inside shelves).

You'd have to lay it on its side. The top trays can be adjusted for length only.

The top is so nice that I am going to use a cutting board but you wouldn't have to.

Place it on the bottom rack and be sure to cut it down so there is an inch or so of open space one either side

It can be used as a cutting board, if you don't move it around, used in a stationary place because it is very heavy. I would use it without cutting grooves, my oak cutting board has a smooth cutting surface

When you can you can't have the jars resting on a flat bottom. They make it that way in case you dont Use the rack inside

Yes. The sides are very soft, so you will have to be careful when you carry it to the refrigerator, or put a plate under it.

the bowl on the cutting board is only about 1 inch deep at center. It's good for chopping up veggies and keeping them in place. we have another board that is flat , too.

It doesn't seem to take up much space, less than the single waffle maker I have which has a longer base. I am not sure if it would rest on it's side or back easily. It is in my lake cottage home so I can't try that right now. I put this one in a pull out cabinet drawer. It fits right in the front with room for a griddle behind and some cooking supplies. Look for the measurements on the description to see how high it is so you can make sure it will fit that way too.

I don't know, but we live in a dry climate and a couple of parts of the butcher block are separating. You will definitely need a true cutting board on top. I love wouldn't cut directly on the attached block.

Yes. I don't use it like a traditional cutting board; it would scare. I use it to protect my cabinets.

It has a granite top. I would not use it as a cutting board. I do not know if you actually can or not.

Yes. It reminds me of a flexible kitchen cutting board. You wouldn't fold in half flat, but it could be kind of rolled up. Make sense?

Like the others said, cutting board would probably be best for food prep. Its just a stainless steel top.

Technically no but practically, yes. It will sit flat and the wood material on the underside is equally finished. However, there are 4 inset screws the run the length of the board at the very front (they hold the top lip on). I don't think they would hinder use at all but they may get a little flour in them.
