A solid single slab of wood if it is not large enough will cup and warp. Endgrain boards with the alternate grains glued together negate this action so can be more stable without needing to be very large

they were in the warehouse back in December, but sold out relatively quick priced at $60
It is not a solid block of teak, but rather, it is thin strips of teak glued together, milled and sanded and stained, in bulk. Do your basic math to know how much should be a fair price.
Some of you may find this as a deal, and good for you. But even at $55 sale price, it is way over-priced.
An edge grain board constructed from smaller pieces of similar quality quarter-sawn wood will be way cheaper while also being much more dimensionally stable.
All that said, I'm also skeptical of the value proposition for products like this. Ever since edge grain and end grain became widely known as marketing buzzwords for cutting boards, there's been a flood of total crap that mimics the look of premium edge and end grain boards, but is constructed so carelessly that it'll hold up worse than a random $10 bamboo Walmart special. They mix and match different woods without any thought to how they react differently to stress, and sometimes the strips of wood they use are just face grain cut into strips and glued edge-to-edge. That's certainly no better than a solid face grain board.
This one does have the Costco seal of approval, at the very least. Not that Costco never carries the occasional dud product - but they are very careful about maintaining a reputation for being selective about what they stock. And they do have very permissive return policies.
Personally, I stick to plastic (HDPE/TPE) boards or mats for general use, and a hinoki board for my nicer high carbon knives. Both of these options require somewhat frequent replacement, but I prefer having low-maintenance knives over low-maintenance cutting boards.
Even dried tomato sauce that I bench scrape off hasn't left a stain.
Did just buy set of two from Target that are acacia and have been holding up well. Less heavy, have grooves, and pretty solid
Of course don't stick in dishwasher and use mineral oil to seal at very least
Just another option
