The cutting board in made from bamboo and is stowed under the table. When needed, it simply slides out to the right or to the left to create an additional 14â³ wide working surface. The table is 25â³ x 13â³ and the slide out cutting board is 10â³ x 14â³ for a combined 465 square inches of surface area. When not in use the table folds up and only utilizes 1.8â of depth from the tailgate.
