Listing says its 15Lb.
I have a 15lb Teak chopping board and its heavy to maneuver and carry. My wife doesn't like moving it for this reason. Just keep that in mind.
I bought 2 of them. I won't be using them for cutting though, but likely as a stand / riser for something. Hard to find something like that for this price and weight support

I haven't used this board, so I can't comment on this exact one. But for the price this is a great deal.
For all those asking about how hard is it on knives: it's fine. There is nothing wrong with edge grain cutting boards. The finish will generally last longer than an end grain cutting board. Yes, it is slightly harder on the knife edge, but not so much that it will significantly reduce edge retention.
Acacia can vary in hardness, some are softer like maple while others can be harder than oak. It's impossible to tell from the web listing how this one will be. That said, this is going to be a better board than what most people already have, such as plastic or glass cutting boards. This will need more care than plastic or glass but for anyone who doesn't have a bunch of end grain or japanese polyvinyl acetate professional boards, this will be an excellent choice for $15. If you want a board that you can soak in hot water or throw in the dishwasher, stick with plastic
This board will need regular oil for maintenance, and then every so often, sanding and refinishing
ps. please dont use glass cutting boards
I got 2 the last SD at 24.97 each. Called Walmart and they gave me a coupon for $25 off 45 since they no longer price match. Thanks op. 1 (800) 966-6546
America's test kitchen tested it out and came to the conclusion that edge-grain and end-grain had little to no difference in the wear of your knives.
However, users have noted that the end-grain boards will themselves wear a bit better over time.
But overall it's more about personal preference on the aesthetics.
Edge grain will show cuts and scratches across the grain. There's no avoiding it. None of that with edge grain.
According to the reviews and pictures posted on Walmart.com, this is not solid acacia but rather some would with a thin veneer. Maybe that doesn't matter if you're using it for a cutting board, but for all the people talking about using it for woodworking projects, this is probably not a good deal
If that is the case, they really did their homework with getting the edges to line up with the top surface like that. Usually you see a top and a bottom with a band around the side.
