Since when have you been worried about "pretty colors" in the kitchen?
I have about 5 wooden ones - we don't have a dishwasher so I haven't
bothered to buy the plastic ones. They have obviously improved the
quality of the plastic boards because some of my friends had them and
they used to score terribly. Yuk. Was a mission to get them clean. Put
me off.
