Great chalkboard for my opinion

I don't have anything to compare it to since this is the first chalkboard I've purchased for my home, but it more than met my expectations. Quality seems great, size is perfect (I got the 36x48), the price is reasonable and the installation was relatively straightforward (you'll need a screwdriver). All in all it does what I'd like it to do and does it as expected.Now to start planning my diabolical takeover of the planet.

Pros
  • Esta muy buena pero tiene un punto donde se ve el metal de atrás.
Cons
  • The surface may dent easily

Nice product in general, bad shipping.

I was worried that this would be flimsy but the sandwich of two thin metal sheets with a corrugated center is very firm and strong. The frame is light weight aluminum extrusion and fits snuggly all around. My box arrived and looked like a return. It was all taped up. The frame had four small dents on one side and one in the middle of the board where it looks like the box got tossed around and bumped something hard. The instructions were missing. The dents prevented the tray from sliding on that

Pros
  • It had a blemish on the top left corner but we decided it was not worth the effort to return
Cons
  • Chalk may become dull quickly

overall a good sturdy thin metal black board

Received it yesterday. overall a good sturdy thin metal black board. be aware that if you use it to draw circle with compass if you want to use it for geometry demo (which is the main reason as whiteboard is much worse for this purpose), the pin can't stay well due to the metal surface. I deduct 1 start due to the QC control or handling, received mine with one side bending, and you have no way to make the aluminum frame to be straight and beautiful as it should be after straight it up.

Pros
  • Chalkboard is perfect for drawing, teaching or leaving notes. Black surface provides great contrast and is easy to read
Cons
  • The board may be too large and cumbersome for easy transportation

Looks nice but a major pain to hang on the wall

The board looks nice on the wall, but it was a PITA to put it together and get it on the wall. After drilling holes in the wall for the wall anchors only two of them would fit in the holes, thus we kept making the holes bigger and bigger to try to get them to fit in. We ended up taking a big chunk of drywall off the wall trying to get the darn wall anchors in. Finally we gave up and bought some decent wall anchors from the hardware store. Those slipped right in with no problem. I just wish we…

Pros
  • It’s a good product
Cons
  • The blackboard is prone to glare when exposed to light and shine

Just what I needed: my feedback

I ordered two of these. A magnetic chalkboard is a plus for sure! One I used as is, the other I cut to fit an old mirror frame. I calculated how much it would cost to make my own for the mirror frame, and it was only 5.00 more to buy one and cut it to fit. The construction is two pieces of sheet metal held together by corrugated cardboard. Fairly light. These boards arrived unblemished, undented. I seasoned before use and chalk marker washes easily off. A few comments have noted the annoying…

Pros
  • Perfect for brainstorming sessions and team meetings
Cons
  • The board may not stand up to constant usage

Chalk stands out good for me

I got this one partially because it was claimed to have the ability to make chalk pop out. Some chalkboards are hard to write on, not this one. Easy peasy. It was easy to mount as well, I'm only giving it 4 stars because the "tray" that holds the chalk on the bottom constantly falls off.This is a great size for myself and my 4 year old. There's enough room for two people or possibly three kids (if they promise to cooperate, of course) to write/draw at the same time.

Pros
  • Chalk holder tray impossible to install following directions.
Cons
  • The board may not be easily customizable

Great! As long as it's not damaged.

This chalkboard was ordered as the "last one in stalk". Never again will I buy the "last one". It came damaged to where I couldn't hang it on the wall and Best Buy only wanted to offer a 15% discount to keep the item. But it's way too big to just leave around the house, and I couldn't hang it due to the damage.However, I did send it back and get a smaller size. I do love the chalkboard, although it has a couple flaws. But. for what I need it for, it's great and the flaws don't effect being able

Pros
  • 5 plus years and still holding up perfectly! Cleans easily with a plain ole wet paper towel.
Cons
  • Chalk may break easily

This board is great. The person who complained about putting big holes in the wall to mount it was obviously not handy. Since there are no instructions about putting the holes in the wall for the anchors to mount your board, I'll supply them here.1) Use a 1/4 inch drill bit for each of the four holes. 2) Enlarged them a little by running the drill bit in and out while gently pressing outward - not too much because the plastic anchors should fit snugly. You can stop every once in a while to see…

Pros
  • Big enough for 3 kids to have their space.
Cons
  • The chalk tray might not be deep enough to hold ample quantities of chalk

First class blackboard

This blackboard's surface is really nice, one of the best blackboards I have used. Drill 4 holes, insert wall anchors, add screws and it is installed. It even comes with a chalk/eraser tray. Writes nicely especially when I use Hagoromo chalk. Other chalks do well too but the Hagoromo chalk rocks. Both blackboard and chalk are highly recommended!

Pros
  • Excellent!
Cons
  • Will fall apart if it gets rained on.

I Love this Chalkboard

I've wanted one of these for a long time. I finally found one that is big enough and affordable. I use it every week and am about to begin using it daily. I love it.

Pros
  • Durable construction that will last for years to come
Cons
  • The board may require constant cleaning to remain effective

Great for the grandchildren

Bought this for a play area for my grandchildren. They love it. After a weekend of using chalk on it I cleaned it with a damp cloth. Although all the chalk was removed it did leave some faded lines on the board.

Pros
  • Customer satisfaction is guaranteed with a 2 year warranty against manufacturer's defects
Cons
  • The chalk tray may not be long enough

great small board for my opinion

Fantastic for the prize. I have it as an additional board with a larger much more expensive large blackboard.Of course the quality does not reach the professional chool boards but it does work well to sketchsome ideas. The board was easy to attach to the wall with the 4 screws given. We will have to see how longit will remain good, but I have the impression already that it will be much longer than white boards which failusually after a short time. The picture shows the board behind my desk…

Pros
  • Provides a clear and concise visual aid for presentations
Cons
  • The board may require frequent chalk replacements

Big, easy to install, and versatile

The board came packaged very well, and with a plastic film covering the chalkboard portion, so it arrived in impeccable shape. The magnetic surface works with no issue, and the frame made it super easy to install on the wall. My toddler loves the board, the chalk goes on great (we bought colored dustless chalk), and comes off super easy with a wet paper towel. My only complaint is how flimsy the chalk tray is (when my toddler accidentally bumps her arm into it, everything goes flying), but I…

Pros
  • I have used regular chalk and Chalk markers and both come off easily. Was easy to install.
Cons
  • The chalk may become difficult to write with over time

Great product! best in my review

Bought this for my teen artsy daughter to make a vision board with. She's got it all decorated and jeweled up. She LOVES it! Made the perfect Christmas gift for a teenager. Gave her stick on jewels, stencils, and DIY magnets for the project and it couldn't have been a better useful craft for a teen girl. Super good board for it. Big enough to decorate and write on. Small enough to find a spot to hang it.

Pros
  • Multi-functional use as a chalkboard or blackboard
Cons
  • The board may cause chalk to create dust that could be hard to breathe in

Exactly as described!

Lightweight but durable and sturdy. Shipped fast and the packaging was great. No dings or dents or scratches to the blackboard. I purchased liquid chalk for use and it cleans off with ease. I know some blackboards are porous and would absorb the liquid chalk creating permanent markings but this one does not. The chalk holder is a bit flimsy and will fall off easily if moved around or bumped so I don't use it. Otherwise, great product and it is living up to my expectations and worth the money…

Pros
  • It’s exactly what I need for my English class!
Cons
  • Blackboard surface may scratch easily

Does what it should

Nice and sturdy. Easy to install. Didn’t use the chalk/eraser tray for safety reasons. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Chalkboard surface is perfect for handwriting and calligraphy
Cons
  • Chalk may get lost in the tray and become unusable

Magnetic chalkboard

This chalkboard is magnetic which is what I wanted. My purpose was so that my granddaughter can use magnetic numbers, letters, etc. and use chalk.You can not even use regular chalk bc it doesn’t erase very well? Reccommended that you use ONLY the whiteboard markers. Actually it’s a certain whiteboard markers. This is unacceptable for a toddler to play on. Wasted my money here!

Pros
  • A fun and engaging way to learn and teach new information
Cons
  • The board may require frequent adjustment to stay level

Great quality chalkboard

We have only used the chalkboard side so far, but it’s great! Kids love it. They use chalk on it, or play with magnetic ABC letters on it. I am very happy with it! It’s large enough for two kids to play with it at the same time.

Pros
  • Great for both personal and professional use
Cons
  • The blackboard may be damaged by chalk that hits the wrong angle

Great value. High quality.

Ive been a teacher for 26 years and now teaching from home. This board is a great value for the money. It was easy to enstall, sturdy (doesn't shake when you write on it), and chalk markers show up great! Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Perfect size
Cons
  • Impossible to clean...

Great size and built well

We mounted it in our treehouse for the children. They love playing school house:) We didn’t use the chalk tray that came with it and just built a wooden shelf below it.

Pros
  • Large size of 36 x 24 inches to accommodate all your ideas and thoughts
Cons
  • The magnetic surface may not be as effective with certain objects
