I ordered 5 of these for my office, and will most likely have 5 of these in the garbage within a few months. First off - these look nice out of the box, with the shelf for markers and have a easy guide for hanging on the wall. However, all 5 of the board we recieved where crooked, like they were put together incorrectly. When one side of the board was touching the wall, the other would stick about an inch out. I figured that with some velcro I could easily fix the issue.
However, the biggest issue arose when trying to use the board for writing on - multiple times. I will also preface this comment by saying that I used brand new expo dry erase markers and expo dry erase board cleaner. After one use with a standard blue color, I simply could not remove the marker. I tried the standard dry erase board eraser and it just smeared the writing across the board, staining it. When I tried to remove it with cleaner - nothing happened. I now have a once-used, very blue board, with no way of cleaning it. I have included pictures with this review as well to support this.
I would not recommend these at all as they are a very poor product Dry-Erase Board, Melamine, 36 x 24, White, Satin-Finished Aluminum Frame
Ordered this board on Tuesday and got it on Thursday. The board was well packaged and I didn't notice any damage to either the board or the package. My only problem with the board is that the plastic border around it is a bit flimsy (but then again it's a $20 board so I won't argue).
And you also have to be careful how you place, because initially while reorganizing my room I threw it on top of a book on a floor overnight and the board look warped the next day. Not a problem though - I fastened the board flat with packaging tape to the wall, where it now sits perfectly.
I used Expo low odor markers to write on it and didn't have problems at all with erasing. I sometimes leave notes on the board for up to a week and after erasing with the eraser (without using any cleaner fluid)- I don't see any residue.
Overall, great board, great price. Think I'm going to order another one, but slightly larger for office use.
I teach private classes for screenwriters and television writers ([...]) and I needed a quality board that all of the students would be able to see, but I wanted it to be lightweight in case I need to transport it for seminars and other events that I sometimes get invited to.
What I really like about the board is I have kept lessons up on it for over a week at a time, and erasing the board after this is not an issue. It's a good board with enough size for a room full of people to read it but not so big that it dominates an entire wall. It hangs very easily - I just have it up on screws that I drilled into the wall, and that is because it is a nice light weight.
All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase, at a good price point as well.'
