  • I love the re-boards! The material is super durable, and I'm obsessed with the colors. The texture on the boards is also great - good grip without being a cheap-looking bumpy/scratchy texture. Will probably try out more of their products.

  • this was my first big girl purchase when it came to knives, and they did not disappoint! I was arguably unprepared to own such sharp knives as I sliced my finger three different times within the first week of owning them (lol). anyway love them sm and the magnetic stand looks sooo sleek and cute on the counter.

  • I’ve had my large and small reBoards from Material for over two years now and I’m overall super pleased. The only issue has been with the large board warping, but that’s because I put both in the dishwasher pretty often. I think Material advises hand washing only. Otherwise, love these. And I still use the warped board, just with a kitchen towel underneath. The material itself of the boards is perfect for me - it’s not too hard and not too soft, great for all your chopping. I find I use both sizes daily, and I like the holes for hanging on wall hooks if you want. The colors are fun too.

    Don’t put the big one thru the dishwasher unless you don’t mind the possibility of some warping.

  • I'm in love with my cutting boards. I ordered 3 during a fourth of july (or another summer holiday) special and use them every single day. AND you can put them in the dishwasher. Amazing product that looks aesthetically pleasing.

    I wish they were at other retailers - I cannot stand paying for shipping and sometimes I only want to buy one product at a time. Right now, I want to buy a cutting board but I'm not because I don't want to pay for shipping so I'm waiting until I need another product. I think most people feel the same way. about shipping.

  • We've steadily acquired an assortment of items from Material Kitchen and have yet to be disappointed. They hit on all marks, including quality, durability, and design. And for the cutting boards and mixing bowls, it's a great sustainability featuring using sugar-cane plastic. The kitchen shears are simply the best. If you don't have a pair of heavy duty, not messing around slicers and dicers, you're really missing out.

    Need a cutting board with extra real estate for all the messy choppers.

  • Love Material Kitchen's knife. The best knife I own! Highly recommend!

  • I purchased the mini reBoard and the reBowl- I was drawn to Material's fun colors! Since our kitchen is very neutral colors, having these fun items brightens things up a bit. I think the reBowl ($25) was a bit overpriced for what it was, plus I didn't like the base of it. However, I love that it's recycled plastic and it definitely gets a good amount of use. I also wish there was a variety of sizes (maybe like 3 nesting bowls?). The mini reBoard- BIG FAN. Again, the colors are great. I have always used plastic cutting boards, but these feel like a total step up in quality. I'd highly recommend these for something just getting acquainted with Material.

  • I bought the knife sharpener and the mini reboard (via an offer from Flip, so didn't pay full price) and was really impressed with the quality, the packaging (no extra crap in the box destined for landfill) and the speed of shipping. Knife sharpener is such an easy way to maximize the investment I've already made in great knives, which I love and is so easy and priceless for me. The board is awesome and everything I've been looking for in a cutting board. Will definitely buy more of the boards, can't speak to the knives or cookware.

  • I have their three knives and am so happy with them. I wanted a high quality knives that could stand the dishwasher and these fit the bill perfectly. The gold shears I have from them have discoloured slightly with dishwashing but I will survive!

  • I really want to know this brand. I love the look and everything feels very high quality. Unfortunately, their knives dull incredibly quickly (and I'm not even sure they were ever very sharp). I didn't notice until I ended up with two very cheap (and ugly) knives that I bought from some random store. These two random knives work SO much better than the Material ones have ever worked. It was a disappointing discovery!

  • My go-to everyday cutting board. Sustainable, easy on my knives and easy to clean. Great colors, too!

  • LOVE the cutting board and chef knife. Was gifted both by a friend over a year ago, and they are holding up great! Absolute staples in my kitchen!

  • I love material kitchen items - they're reasonably priced, beautifully designed and durable. they make great gifts

  • Great cutting board, not sure how unique that is though!

  • We have their Sauté Pan, the Coated Pan, the Trio of Knives, and the reBoard cutting board in two sizes. Their products are very high quality. The Sauté Pan heats evenly, and its vertical sides make the pan more versatile than a typical 10-inch steel frying pan. I can sear meats with less oil splatter, I can sauté much larger volumes given the larger flat surface area, and I can even use it as a saucepan. I reach for it more frequently than my 12-inch All Clad 3-ply steel pan. The Coated Pan has an excellent nonstick coating that works great for eggs and for sautéing food that has more tendency to stick. The Trio of Knives are very high quality, and the sharpness is easy to maintain with a good quality honing rod. The reBoard cutting boards are of excellent quality and are my go-to cutting boards in our kitchen.

  • Material is a BEAUTIFUL (and not to mention AAPI owned!) kitchen brand that strives for well designed, highly functional kitchenware. They are a brand you feel good about getting marketing from, following on social media, and even purchasing from. I, personally, made my purchases for an empty kitchen (moving with nothing!) but would happily continue replacing my products, if and when needed, with more Material products and would encourage others to do the same... the gifts that can come out of their catalog, for both you and your loved ones! The knives are of great quality, and the products are beautiful to look at. Everything is beautiful AND has a functional purpose! How great? Yes, Material is a splurge brand. It is a worth-your-money splurge brand.

  • I bought my copper colored peeler from Home Ec a small shop in San Diego. I wasn’t really sure if I was going to love the style of peeer that it is. As it turns out, I do really love it. It’s super sharp. It feels good in your hand. It’s easy to peel large vegetables. And it gives a nice thin peel when you’re peeling citrus. I’ve had it a few months and it’s been holding up really well. I keep the cover on the blade when it’s in the drawer.

  • Japanese Steel knives, great cutting boards, and high quality stainless steel kitchen tools - it's a little pricey but it's well worth it and you can keep them forever it seems like. I use them everyday and they all have little to no wear after a year of hard use. I use the sharpener that works great too!

  • I love their copper coated pan. I do have to be careful about not using it at too high of heat and always use a wooden or silicone utensil with it because I’ve found it can scratch easily. It does make the perfect friend eggs and truly nonstick if you keep it clean. Really beautiful design too. I also love their color ways. Their knife set is really high quality, sleek design, and super sharp. It comes with a paring, chef, and bread knife. I also have their steak knife set that comes with 5 in a standup wood block. I bought the steak knife set early on and had an issue with the handles showing hairline fractures. They were so gracious and attentive to send me a replacement. I purchased these products directly from their website and received it packaged very nicely. I think any of their products would be a great gift to someone that loves to cook or bake.
