What to know about Sonder Los Angeles Winsome 16x12x1.5

A thick edge-grain acacia board with a juice groove and a built-in cracker well. America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy wood board: durable, with only minor scratches after testing. A budget-friendly way to switch to solid wood.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

America's Test Kitchen named it its Best Buy wood board. It showed only minor scratches after testing, and the deep trench and cracker well suit carving a roast or setting out a cheese spread. It is in stock on Amazon at a budget-friendly price.

At 1.5 inches thick, it has more heft than the thinner Boos 212.

What to know

Skip it if you want documented materials or easy cleanup. Sonder does not state the finish or glue on the pages we reviewed, and some ATK testers found the trench hard to clean.
