This is a sturdy, HEAVY, thick piece of stone with a beautiful polished finish on all sides! I weighed it, and it is literally 14 pounds.It is also the perfect fit to cover a griddle on a Viking 6 burner gas stove. 12" X 19 &3/4" (1/2" thick)Although, I wouldn’t use it as a cutting board (and dull my knives), it would make a beautiful charcuterie board since it is non-porous.This stone board is top quality, solid and gorgeous.
