For years I had a large wood challah board with glass and silver. It was heavy, difficult to clean and store. Took up tons of room on the table.
Recently I got a simple small wood board with decorative handles. It’s small and lightweight and simple to clean. It’s not as pretty but I love it. It’s also easier to cut challah on.
I’ve seen some beautiful compact stone or glass cutting boards. I would get that over a heavy or large board. (The stone ones are heavy but can be narrow and easy to clean). If you do go the silver / wood / glass route get a board with glass that goes end to end. It’s easier to clean on a weekly basis.

You put this under finances. Neither challah board will hold up. I had gone through 3 of them before I gave up and bought a functional one. One of them was top of the line basic. One was a super expensive imported one. And one was a gift which was silver plated.

I like using a large glass cutting board. Simple, neat, easy to clean and easy to store.

Go for wood if you value your knife. Glass, stone and ceramic are hard on blades.

If you like wood do a search for wood cutting boards.
I got a glass cutting board on Amazon for $18. Looks beautiful and serves the purpose.

If you enjoy craft get some plain wood boards and a wood burning pen and have fun decorating them.

Waterdale collection has gorgeous ones. U can buy online.
Personally I have a lenox board/dish that is silver and wasn't using for anything else so that's what I use now.

I recently replaced my wood/glass challah cutting board (which was hard to clean & was damaged) with a small granite cutting board. I actually just ordered it off Amazon. It’s super easy to clean, easy to store, looks beautiful, and wasn’t to expensive, I think $15-$20 range.

They don't crack. They scratch.

I'm also looking for a lightweight, well priced board but I want something that has a rim so the crumbs don't fly everywhere.
I love this but it's too small. cant find same thing in bigger.

We used to have a very fancy cherry wood large challah board with silver and covered with glass. It’s beautiful, it really is BUT it is soooo heavy... so hard to move, take off the table and clean. It is also so large.. which is what makes it beautiful but a pain to use.
After many years I finally bought an extra light weight bamboo wood cutting board. Is it gorgeous? No way! But it’s functional, good quality, light weight, easy to move and wipe off and works for us. We happen to have a nice challah cover so you hardly see the challah board anyway.
Stay away from the beautiful, heavy challah boards that are hard to lift and clean.
Before I bought the bamboo wood cutting board, I bought a nice glass one in a judaica store that was on sale. It was pretty, lightweight and looked easy to clean. Dh did not want it. He was afraid that the glass could break easily if a child drops it... so I returned and bought a Woden one.
Here’s a link to what I bought:

Nope. And the cutting board ones have a textured top so it doesn't get scratched either.
All the judaica challah boards come with a glass top.
