I've been using this cutting board for a few weeks now, and it's pretty good. The "feet" on the bottom do an excellent job of keeping the board in place, which was one of the main reason I chose this particular product. The surface is quite large, which is also a plus, and the opening to pick up the board is large enough to easily fit your hand into it. It has also held up well to dishwashing. However, the surface scratches very easily and shows cut marks.

I specifically purchased these colanders for keeping small pieces in the colander while draining, and they definitely do that well. Although I haven't used it for something as small as quinoa, it's been able to keep small pieces of vegetable from slipping through.
I purchased both sizes (the 3qt and 5qt), and I'd say the 3qt is perfect for most people who cook for one to three people. It holds enough pasta for side dishes for four or a meal for two or three.
