Great, as long as you don't mind your boards ...
Great, as long as you don't mind your boards advertised as '4" width' actually each consisting of two 2" width boards edge-glued together. Perhaps glued together very well, but for my marine application this is unacceptable - not only because of the mismatched grain but simply because I'm not willing to find out the hard way after a couple of years that they come apart at this seam. Oh well. Too good to be true! Sending them all back.

It's good straight grain stuff
It's teak. It's the size described. It's good straight grain stuff. It's not warped. Only negative thing I have to add is they use a cheap paper barcode sticker directly on the wood, which isn't a problem if you plan to sand the piece before pulling, but the adhesive is pretty well impregnated in the surface grain and would show if you simply scrubbed it off and oiled.

Not a plank but two peices glued together.
Might as well be chip board as it is not one piece of wood. Pressed chicken nuggets instead of whole chicken breast.

Made out of multiple even strips
Should have listened to other reviewers. Even though Amazon was selling and fulfilling these 5 inch wide planks, they were still made of about 1" wide strips, glued together. The planks were uniform and were polished well. I was looking for a plank made out of a single piece of wood - strength as well as aesthetics. The thickness was perfect too. Was disappointed that I had to return. Have not yet found a 5" (or more) wide plank made out of a single piece of teak.

Not as described
The Seller says in the Q&A that this is a 1-piece board. The one I got is 2-piece glue up. I'm using it for knife handles, so I can work around it.From the manufacturer:Thanks for your interest in SeaTeak. This plank is made of solid teak. There is no glue involved in the manufacturing of this plank.By Waterbrands MANUFACTURER on March 1, 2018This is NOT an accurate statement.

Not a plank!
I can make do, I guess. I needed a 3/8 th inch thick piece of teak wide emough to accommodate the radius of the forward hatch combing. The genoa sheet catches under the combing when tacking. My solution is to cut bumpers for the forward corners of the hatch. The sea teak 5" "plank" turns out to be four teak strips laminated, butcher block style. For sixteen bucks a foot, this might have been mentioned in the description. Racing season is upon us, so I'll go out to the shop, cut my pieces, and see how they hold up.

Very disappointed that these are not solid 4" planks
Very disappointed that these are not solid 4" planks, but two 2" boards glued together! The grains are not very well matched either!

Perfect piece of teak.
Perfect for building a kitchen item. A little pricey but nice quality
