Title: Looked Nice Until It Cracked All Over!
Review: Purchased this board a couple years ago and have barely used it. It was a nice looking Go board initially. The other day I took it out of the closet (less than 2 years later) and it has severe cracks all over the bamboo on both sides. I live in Denver where it is a relatively dry climate and I assume that this may have caused the cracking. I read that bamboo processed in humid countries (i.e. China) can have issues with cracking when used in dry climates. I suppose I could have kept the board in some sort of humidifying chamber or something...but really...who wants to do that with a $40 Go Board. Not sure if solid wood boards are any better in this climate but I doubt I'll be purchasing many bamboo items in the future. I would advise you to avoid this board if you live in Colorado or any other dry climates!
