I have one wooden one I use all the time and some plastic ones I avoid. If I use them I move my cut food onto them and keep cutting on the wooden board. I want to throw them out and buy all wood ones, most likely bamboo. Plastic chopping boards are so evil- often treated with crap and it gets in your food. I wish I'd never bought them. Wood is easy to clean & much healthier. We have a glass one too but I find it noisy & bluntens the knives.
