Great Chalkboard for Home Use

We are happy with this chalkboard. It erases well and there are no problems writing on it (we use regular chalk, not chalk markers). My daughter especially loves the tray that comes with it. It's not a beefy chalkboard like we had in our classrooms in grade school, but for everyday home us this is a great choice.

Pros
  • Message board is conveniently pre-drilled with four holes and comes with two hanging hooks to make mounting board on wall or fridge simple
Cons
  • The chalk tray may not be aligned with the board surface

Super Awesome! in my review

It's exactly as advertised. Easy to install. I got it for school so I can put deadlines and important dates and notes on it, and its perfect for that. Literally no complaints

Pros
  • I didn’t get the nail pieces to the board
Cons
  • The blackboard may not be sturdy enough to support extensive usage

They forgot to include the magnets

I didn’t received the magnets that comes with it so far so good . ( don’t buy the liquid chalk) it’s a hustle to wipe it off this board

Pros
  • Light weight, size, and great quality.
Cons
  • Chalk may leave behind residue that is difficult to clean

Cons
  • The magnetic surface may become weaker over time

Large Magnet Board on my review.

I purchased this item to cover my fireplace since we are not using it and I wanted my kids to stay out of it. It is perfect! It’s the largest size I could find and my kids love moving magnets around on the chalkboard. I would recommend this item as it’s large enough to even act as a chalkboard if you’re home schooling.

Pros
  • A sleek and modern design that is perfect for any home or office
Cons
  • The chalk may not be easily readable from a distance

Great chalkboard! for my opinion

Sturdy, and a great value for the money. I've been using regular chalk sticks, both white and various colors, and they come off easily with a spray bottle of water and microfiber cleaning cloth. I guess there's some very faint ghosting if you're squinting and looking for it, but when cleaned it looks just like a normal blank blackboard. My kids are all obsessed with it; I'm getting a second one for the basement playroom so they stop drawing over my notes. :)

Pros
  • This product was easy to hang and useful.
Cons
  • The magnetic surface may create a mess if not used carefully

A bit disappointed in condition of product on arrival.

Looks like it was a quality board, unfortunately arrived with a deep gouge/creece across the writing surface, product it too large to send back from our area and will have to make due as it is needed immediately for online teaching. My suggestion would be add additional protection to the writing side of the board and make sure it is not damaged before shipping.

Pros
  • Space-saving solution for those needing to conserve desk space
Cons
  • The board may be too small for larger groups to see

Great chalkboard for my opinion

My daughter loves the board and it was easy to put up, but is also removing the chalk/eraser shelf. Thankfully, it is easy to put back up. If you have a Toddler expect to pick it up.Quality is good as well.

Pros
  • Eco-friendly alternative to paper notes and sticky pads
Cons
  • The magnetic surface may scratch easily

Better than expected quality.

The fit & finish was better than I had expected , although the price point should have gave me a hint. More sturdy and impressive than I was going to build one myself. The chalk trey did not make it to the final installation due to the sharp corners and toddlers using this mounted to the back of a "toddler tower".

Pros
  • Can be used for project management and timelines
Cons
  • The board may take up too much wall space

Good chalkboard on my review.

I used it for half a year now and the only complaint is a very flimsy chalk holder platform that keeps falling off with a slightest touch, spilling chalks all over the floor and breaking them. Other than this annoyance, the board works perfectly.

Pros
  • Helps to manage time more effectively
Cons
  • The blackboard may require special cleaning tools to prevent damage

Very good blackboard

staying home decided to give my kids more knowledge with areas not covered in their school these days, looking at what they cover is not enough comparing to what they used to teach us in the school, every time i talk to teachers - their answer - we don't have budget for it, what? i only hear how your salaries are keep growing and you retire with 80K a year! fine, not my battle - will do it myself at home.

Pros
  • Ideal for homeschooling or remote learning
Cons
  • The blackboard may be dirty or stained

Arrived dented and used

My board arrived dented in the corner and on top. Was obviously used because the protective plastic was missing and the board was dirty. The hardware mounting package had been opened so loose screws and parts were in the bottom of the box. Will not be buying again

Pros
  • Makes a great gift for those in need of organization and productivity tools
Cons
  • The board may not be very aesthetically pleasing in certain settings

Did not like the plastic covering

This board works alright with liquid chalk. Seems to come off easily, although I've only used white, and some reviews say the colored liquid chalk does not come off as easily. We will see.The plastic protective covering did not come off easily at all. Tried peeling slowly at the edges. Was underneath the boarder of the board. Still picking tiny pieces of plastic off.Overall it does what it's intended for. Liquid chalk writes smooth and clearly. The instructions were simple but didn't tell me…

Pros
  • Provides a creative outlet for artists and designers
Cons
  • Chalk may break easily when pressed down too hard

Great deal, shipped with no damage

I’ve had a couple issues with Staples shipping dry erase and chalk boards and they show up broken, this one showed up without a scratch and seems to be well made. Very happy

Pros
  • A magnetic surface that can hold notes, pictures, and other important items
Cons
  • The blackboard may warp over time

Exactly what I was looking for!

I needed a black board that could handle magnets and this was the perfect size for my garage. It easily holds paperwork with plenty of room for notes.

Pros
  • Can be used for displaying important information and notices
Cons
  • The surface may develop an uneven texture from constant use

Perfect for my office

This board is everything I need for my office. I used liquid chalk marker and left messages on it for over a week and they came off just fine with a damp cloth. It was very simple to put up.I did it alone. Great chalk board and highly recommended.

Pros
  • Perfect for what I needed
Cons
  • The blackboard could be too small for larger projects or ideas

Light enough to hang from command strips

Happily, I was able to hang this board from a set of four command-strip hangers near my desk. The chalk board erases fine and has a nice place for chalk that attaches to the bottom.

Pros
  • A cost-effective alternative to traditional whiteboards
Cons
  • Chalk may wear down the blackboard surface after extended use

Perfect for my room

It’s big and easy to put together. I have it in my room so that I can draw on when the mood strikes me. It comes with everything you need to hang it up and two small magnets. There was a small defect on mine, probably from shipping, but I don’t mind

Pros
  • Easy to install with the included mounting kit
Cons
  • The board may be too heavy for younger children to handle

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very light-weight - good and bad

The board seems to be made of some type of very-dense foam. It is plenty hard for writing on I assume, but not rugged. ON the positive side, this makes it very light. On the negative, I doubt it will hold up to even mild abuse. Also, ours had a long crease in it. I've seen this type of manufacturing flaw in products made this way. This isn't terrible, but given the location of ours, I didn't want something that was clearly cheaply made.

Pros
  • Great for teaching and tutoring sessions
Cons
  • The blackboard may be difficult to write on without a proper grip

Works great! No complaints

We have been using it for about a month for our home office. Works great. No defects in the product. Looks good and it's fun to use with the colored markers.

Pros
  • Magnetic surface duals as a bulletin board by using magnets to pin notes, messages, pictures, memos, calendars and more
Cons
  • The surface can be challenging to erase if not done properly
