The Best Cutting Boards of 2026

Sonder LA's Winsome Cutting Board is an all-around winner, with several clever design features that make us want to pull it out for use every day. It’s also one of the most attractive wood grain boards.

The deep juice groove on one side of the board catches excess liquids easily, while the other side features a unique cracker well that's ideal for serving cheese and charcuterie boards. The board also features built-in handles on either end that make serving and maneuvering a breeze.

It's designed with sturdy and sustainable acacia wood that's 1.5 inches thick—making it light enough to flip and move around during use, but durable enough to last for years to come.

It’s also easier to clean than many and resists staining. The Winsome comes with a one-year warranty and helpful care instructions to ensure you're regularly oiling and caring for it.

We love this board for its quality, beautiful design, and versatile use. When it comes to wooden cutting boards, Sonder LA boards are also very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a cutting board that can go from prepping to serving—and is pretty enough to leave out on display—this one's a no-brainer.

The OXO Utility Cutting Board has everything we're looking for in a plastic cutting board: non-slip grip edges to maintain stability, a drip canal with pour corners for easy clean-up, and the perfect amount of space for everyday tasks. It also won’t monopolize your cooktop.

This board is also double-sided, making it great for multi-step recipes where you can use produce on one side and poultry on the other without having to wash in between. Plus, the board is safe to toss in the dishwasher after every use without a second thought.

We love how comfortable this bamboo cutting board is to use on a daily basis. Although it's spacious enough to chop several things at once, it weighs in at just five pounds, making it easy to bring in and out of storage for every task. It also features unique design features, like an iPhone slot on one side (perfect for mess-free recipe reading!) and a deep drip canal with pour spout on the other side.

Bamboo can be hard on your knife blades, dulling them faster over time than wood. But bamboo is also a more sustainable source than its wood counterparts, and it's been shown to be more resistant to bacteria. It does require the same regular care as wood, though, so be sure to keep up with regular oiling.

We love teak, a high-oil wood, for its ability to fight off moisture better than other wood boards. During testing, this board didn’t absorb any water, and it holds an impressive amount of liquid in its groves before spilling over. The wood is also durable enough to resist most knife marks and scratches, keeping it beautiful even with everyday use.

We especially loved the size of this board in relation to its heft. Since teak is heavier than bamboo and acacia, a larger board would be difficult to maneuver. But this size is perfect for most kitchen tasks, yet small enough to move and clean easily.

This Teakhaus board is fantastic for sustainable shoppers, as it's made from FSC-certified, sustainably grown teak wood from Proteak Renewable Forestry. It features a unique natural grain pattern that's stylish enough to leave on your countertop when not in use, and it's great for serving while entertaining.

For a handy plastic board set that offers great value for your money, we highly recommend this set from Gorilla Grip.

It features three convenient sizes: the smallest being 11.8 by 8 inches, the medium being 13.8 by 9.6 inches, and the largest being 16 by 11.2 inches. There's an option for every task, from chopping herbs to slicing steak, without worrying about overcrowding.

Each board features nonslip rubber edges for sturdiness, but we found they didn't remain as non-slip as its OXO competitors. But they do feature grooves to catch liquids and comfortable handles for easy carrying. Plus, all three pieces are fully reversible and dishwasher safe.
