Maintaining a wooden cutting board isn’t that hard. Wipe it off with soapy water after use (the same as your countertops I hope) and then occasionally (monthly, or less often) add mineral oil to the board whenever the board looks “dry”.

It also has the upside of not absolutely destroying your knives like using knives on a quartz countertop will do. You’ll save more time not sharpening knives than you would maintaining a wooden cutting board.

My wooden boards always get black for some reason.
… how? Are you washing them in the dishwasher? Leaving them soaking in water? Simple soap and water and drying them mostly off should never cause issues.
