Easy to install if you know what you’re doing. Looks wicked, some pen colour dont show too well so keep that in mind.
The board was well packaged when it arrived… It did take 2 people to safely install the board.. but it was very easy to install as it came with clear instructions and a template which was really helpful.
I ended up not using the marker tray as I liked the look of just the board. But the tray is again very easy to install as well..
The board is working great as a brainstorming station… loved the product..
Living alone and being disabled… this could have been a breeze to install. But the included template doesn’t have spots marked for where you need to drill holes and had they been… would have made this install 90% less stressful.
I got the holes drilled and when I finally went to put the glass up, the holes were ever so slightly off and made for a real pain to keep fiddling with all the posts to finally be able to get the glass up. It was still a slight bit off but kind of had to force it and was praying the entire time that it wouldn’t shatter. Even put my shoes on and put on a pair of safety glasses just incase.
Once up I was pretty happy with it… but was pretty upset after all the fuss with the install… that with my office room light on and it being Clear Glass… there was a shadow on the wall behind it that makes it more difficult to read. Had I known… I would have ordered the one with the white frosted backing. So now I’m upset and wanting to exchange it… but don’t feel like jumping through all the hoops of reboxing and paying someone to drive me somewhere to ship it back.
Insert sadface here –>
Mounted extremely easy (make sure you own a level). It looks gorgeous and seems pretty easy to keep clean. Worth every penny.
This is a beautiful, modern board that is easily erased. Very sturdy and can be mounted into drywall with the included hardware. The glass is clear and has little glare.
Great product, mounting was straightforward and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. A nice alternative to a traditional whiteboard and handy that you can position maps or diagrams in behind the glass and then write over them.
Although expensive.. It really does the job.. And looks great.. However do yourself a favour and use the glass itself to mark the drill holes, using the template is a bit too inaccura
Love this! The quality is amazing and adds a nice feature to a wall as well as being super useful for home schooling at the moment.
Doesn’t come with pens or or eraser but still such good value for money.
My husband isn’t a DIY god but fitted it with ease using the screws and plugs provided. You can draw a template on the paper provided so you can’t go wrong.
Very happy.
Really lovely and stylish addition to the home office! Easy and quick to fix to the wall.
I love this! So much better looking than a white board. It blends nicely with the wall, no ugly frame. It’s heavy so I mounted it in a different place than planned, and it is perfect. Will be ordering another for a different place in the house!
Bellissima lavagna in vetro trasparente. Peccato che non sia magnetica ,ma solo
scrivibile.
Es una pizarra elegante y que queda bien para poder usar un producto de este tipo sin que de sensacin de llenado en el espacio. Es de agradecer el soporte para rotuladores que lleva y que queda firmemente fijado. Le quit una estrella porque por el precio que tiene debera incluir un juego de rotuladores como en la foto.
La tengo puesta en la Cocina y queda genial! Buena calidad y fcil de instala
Very aesthetically pleasing. Mounting hardware is easy to install and is reassuringly sturdy. I do wish I had purchased the magnetic version, but this board is great.
This white board is great. I love the frosty glass and the overall appearance. I was able to install it easy using the instructions, and it works perfectly in the space.
Very satisfied with the 24×36. I hung it vertically. I bought markets made to write on glass as recommended by other reviews and it’s bright and vibrant on the glass board. I do not have an eraser and have been user a microfiber wipe and it works perfectly fine and has not left residue or ghost
Long term I can see it lasting much longer than the regular whiteboard and the glass will maintain a clean slate from writing on it.
Set up was easy peasy with the sheet template it comes with. Super sturdy.
Highly recommended!
The description is right on point, it’s just what I expected. The glass is nice and thick & the hardware seems pretty sturdy.
I mounted this straight to the drywall and there’s no play or sign of weakness.
The board doesn’t come with markers or eraser I bought these from Walmart once it arrived.
This is a well made and stylish product. I actually ordered the wrong size, and the return and replacement was efficient and quick. Being clear glass it can be used on walls and is not obviously a “white board”, so it fits the decor well.
Perfecto! Buscaba una pizarra transparente para el despacho y en menos de 15 minutos la hemos montado, viene con un carton que te sirve como gua para hacer los agujeros en la pared y no tener que cargar con el cristal para marcarlo.
Simple and much better aesthetically at home than a traditional whiteboard. Nice to write on.
This is a great product. Very easy to mount, and looks great. The only drawback is that it’s not magnetic, but still a very good product.
If you are looking for something that looks a little nicer than the old fashion white board this is it. We did the clear one, which means you can definitely see the wall behind it. Which is our case is a nice green color so it’s almost like the glass board simply fades away.
Arrived very well packed, and on time, even during lockdown.
Thank you!
A much cleaner looking option than your typical dry erase board. Easy to hang and clean. Would buy again!
I was sceptical on purchasing a big dry erase board but let me tell you I am more than happy! Exactly what I wanted!!! Its very sturdy and strong. I use it for my science classes so it gets a lot of markings on it. Ive tried walmart and dollar store dry erase markers- they clean easily. I wish I would have purchased a much bigger one to be honest (I bought the 23 x 35). Later on, I may purchase a bigger one!!!
Looks great on wall, easy to hang and even had spares in kit!
1. Easy to clean. Much easier than whiteboard
2. Looks much better than whiteboard
3. Easy to install and hardware comes with it
* Order glass specific dry erase marker.
Ive installed this in my home office against an off-white wall, and it looks amazing. The stainless steel pegs that stand it off the wall are elegant, the thickness of the glass feels extremely strong, and in general much more ‘classy’ than a traditional whiteboard.
If i had to offer some constructive criticism, the metal plate that clips on to the bottom feels a bit cheap and not in keeping with the rest of it, but this feels more like an optional extra anyway.
Ottimo imballaggio
Spedizione puntuale
Prodotto elegante
Un lato opaco e un lato lucido
Facile da montare
L’unica pecca secondo me e che manca un pennarello nero in tal modo da essere subito utilizzabile all’arrivo. Soprattutto se non si vicini ad una cartoleria attrezzata trovare un pennarello Nero cancellabile non facile.
Excellent quality and price, I did compare others on line which were the same spec but double if not more. This is a great size for my home office.
Reason for not giving 5 stars is tricky installation where screws are tightened through narrow hole. Screws and wall plugs were pretty easy to damage and I ended up using other plugs. Once you’ve damaged screw it’s nearly impossible to remove it.
I consider myself reasonably good with DIY but for someone not so confident getting help with installation would be a good idea.
Easy to install. Quick delivery. Works as expected so fa
This glass board is much easier to clean than any white board and looks also much better than a flat white board.
Went for the all glass see through version and I am loving it. Looks classy and expensive.
No more marker residue on the board and if you want to really clean it you can simply use Windex.
Bought special glass markers for it, even though I think that regular white board markers might work as well.
Absolutely love this glass mounted dry erase.
Super easy install. Mounts are very secure. I’ve had to install other brands so I’ve discovered that the mounts provide are very important.
Using this in craft room. It is cute, modern and get compliments on it all the time. It is NOT easy to hang with one person, lol. Also, would definitely recommend getting the glass board markers to use with this, the whiteboard markers don’t show up well at all. It is a beautiful piece, sits about an inch from the wall when hung. Love it and thinking of getting the larger one.
Easy to fit, look great. Good quality mounting pillars (6 of). Just what I wanted for my home office
Bought for our office. It’s exactly what we were looking for. Super product.
FIRST TIP: Buy dry-erase markers intended for glass. The ink formulation is different.
When used with dry-erase markers which are designed specifically for glass, everything you write on these boards will be sharp and clear. The glass markers have excellent contrast and are extremely easy to read.
These dry-erase boards seem very sturdy, despite being made of glass. Once they are mounted properly on the wall, there is no noticeable flex when you are writing on them, unlike the easily-scratched polycarbonate, plexiglass, and semi-transparent plastic boards sold by others. Also, being glass, these dry-erase boards erase more thoroughly than any white dry-erase board I’ve ever seen. There are no smudges, letter fragments, or “ghost letters” left behind after erasing.
TIP TWO: You really need two people to safely install these.
TIP THREE: I also recommend using an auto-leveling, cross-type laser level to position and align the boards precisely before marking the holes for the drywall anchors and/or screws.
Ideally, you will want to have one person hold the board firmly in position, while the other marks the position of all four holes on the wall. I don’t recommend trying to drill the holes through the openings while holding the glass board in place. The weight of the board, combined with the inherent slippery surface, makes holding it in place during all of the mounting procedures a bit tricky and dangerous. Marking, then drilling is much safer in general. We are talking about glass and a power tool, here.
The only complaint I have for these boards is that when mounted in portrait orientation (long dimension is vertical), the mounting holes don’t line up with the stud spacing in our walls. It’s easy enough to attach one edge to studs, but the other edge will unavoidably have to use drywall anchors. The included anchors are sufficient to securely hold the glass plate on the wall without creating overwhelming anxiety, but if you’re paranoid like me, you prefer to always mount things to studs.
One last note: The vendor Audio-Visual Direct was incredibly helpful when we discovered some missing hardware in the first pair of these boards we purchased, despite the fact that we had left them in a closet for years before trying to install them. Audio-Visual Direct had replacement parts shipped out to us via express mail at no cost to us. The parts arrived quickly and in perfect condition. We were so impressed, we decided to order two more boards from this same vendor.
I highly recommend these dry-erase boards. I also recommend buying them from Audio-Visual Direct if you want truly exceptional customer service.
Installation:
Instructions are straightforward and package comes with all you need except a drill of course. Small boards don’t requiere two people to mount but it’s best to have someone around. Follow the instructions, they worked for me (60x90cm).
Design/Performance:
The tempered glass board is beautiful. I purchased normal Quartet and Expo markers and tested them. There was no ghosting, I could easily erase with an eraser or my hand. The colors are a bit more transparent than in non-glass boards but still visible. You must be smart about how light hits the board and the background you choose to install the board on. Light wasn’t a major issue for me since I was able to adjust the sources so that I don’t have a mess with the shadows. I’d say this board doesn’t have anti-glare or anti-reflective properties but that’s fine given the purpose it was built for.
I’m happy with the purchase.
Looks smashing. Hardware is sturdy. Frosted glass didn’t scratch or flake when I installed the marker holder incorrectly and had to move it. Ballin’.
Great item – arrived well packed. Instructions were good. Would be better if arrived with a few pens
Love the size and look of this board. Installation was quite easy for my husband and he did it alone. We used our own drywall anchors per the other reviews as the ones provided don’t seem great. My only issue is that the writing doesn’t show very clearly on this board (and I bought new markers too and tried all colors). Not sure there is any fix for this?
My daughter wanted a white board and I was always against it because they’re typically ugly. Not meant for a bed room. This one is actually pretty, rose gold accents when you hang it. Love it..
These are a great addition to the office – we have bought two of them. They look so much better than normal whiteboards.
Love it – I was nervous while my husband and son installed it – but it was quick and easy – I chose not to use the market tray because it would have been eye level with my son at his desk. But it is great and my son loves it for his physics homework!
I really love this glass whiteboard. Template for wall installation included. I do wish it had come with markers and a dry eraser, but it doesn’t, so make sure you order them at the same time. Buy the wide markers and not the fine ones. The writing is smooth and the marker just flows as you write. I recommend this board over the standard whiteboards.
I finally got around to hang this up on a brick wall and it turned out awesome. Installation was pretty easy. The holes where you drive the screws in it could be a little bit bigger to accommodate most drills. Writing is super smooth and it is very very secure
Very nice glass whiteboard. I was happy to find that this whiteboard wasn’t $200 like some of the others. I bought it used – like new, so I got around $10 off. Even at regular price, it is so worth it. The board is very good glass, and it looks very modern, not to mention great on my wall. Installation was a bit annoying in the beginning, but once we figured it out, we got it in the wall no problem. Very good product, only thing to note is that some colors of regular marker don’t show up very well, most likely due to it being glass, but I can still read it well.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
Useful items to have / use: Laser Level, Pencil, Tape Measure,Screw Type drywall anchors (at least 40# rated) – I don’t recommend the anchors that come with the board.
#1 – Have at least 2 people. The extra set of arms goes along way and helps hold this heavy board.
#2 – Read all instructions and visualize the assembly. Use the provide paper to roughly decide the general placement of the board. Place small pencil marks as guides for the left / right, top / bottom. Do not use the paper for creating a template.
#3 – Set up a laser level to be at the proposed top or bottom elevation of the board.
#4 – Have 1 or 2 people hold the board against the wall in line with the laser level mark and within the L/R marks. Quickly draw a pencil dot in the center of each hole.
#5 – Drill pilot holes in the wall at each dot. Install screw type dry wall anchors.
#6 – Install spacer into wall with the screws provided. The screw will likely be longer than the drywall anchors. That is okay.
#7 – Install threaded piece and 1 washer on each spacer.
#8 – Place glass board with so holes line up with each threaded piece.
#9 – One person should hold board in place while the other installs the remaining washers and caps.
Elegant design and matched the decor of my room. Since it was glass, it was sturdy, no warping, and no marker residue even after over a year of use. A great purchase and will have to buy it again for another room.
Based on feedback from other Amazon buyers, I purchased the frosted version because for now it was being installed over a knotty pine wall.
This product replaced a traditional whiteboard easel that took up much floor space.
The design is exceptional — and it is easy to install. The included hardware nicely conceals all of the mounting screws.
The paper template provided made it easy to measure.
We installed it vertically. The pen/eraser tray clips onto the glass regardless of whether installed vertically or horizontally.
The only thing I’d recommend is to put a sticker on the side that represents the writing surface. [We had to test; weren’t sure.]
Bottom line; this company should get a design award for this product and price point!
The markerboard is sleek and looks great (especially when compared to melamine boards). It could almost solely as a wall decoration rather than a functional tool. The best part about the board though is its functionality. We’ve left dry erase marker up on the board for nearly a year, and it wiped off like we’d just written on it yesterday. There is absolutely no ghosting, and there’s not even a need for dry erase board cleaner. The edges are also beveled and smooth (so there are no sharp edges if you happen to brush by or run into it), and the construction is sturdy, which is surprising considering how little it costs. The mounting hardware is strong and easy to use, and they provide you with a stencil to tape to the wall for easy mounting. The screw holes are 32″ apart (width-wise on the 35.5″ size) so you can hit studs in most standard houses, without having to worry about anchors or stability. We’ve moved it around, and have had no issues with chipping or cracking. The only negative thing I could say would be that if you have it hanging near a light source, it’s easy to see fingerprints in the reflection. Even this isn’t a big deal though since they wipe away with a regular dry erase board eraser. It’s a great tradeoff when you consider the ghosting that you don’t have to deal with, like with melamine boards. The price may eventually be undercut by a larger company like Quartet, but unless that price difference is significant, I would still stick with this company just based on the quality of this product.
I have bought a few units in this size. They are well made and relatively inexpensive. The glass is frosted and you have to be sure to put the frost on the rear. They supply a few extra parts – can be helpful. The glass is adequately thick but not super thick. This glas does not support magnetic accessories. Very good vale.
Very pleased with this product. We have 9 of them around our office and will be ordering more. They are of high quality and look so much better than the whiteboards of old. For comparison we reached out to a glass contractor in our area. Their quote was exponentially higher. We purchased the frosted version. Very pleased.
I love this board! I will say as someone who is not handy with tools, you should know you will need a Phillips head screwdriver . My IKEA screwdriver 10 in 1 was too wide to fit. I thought I was pretty accurate when marking the holes on the transfer paper, but it was a stressful 30 second installation when I finally got the glass up on the bolts. Luckily, I slammed it through the bolts and the glass didn’t break and it all worked out lol, but be sure of you’re markings!
Throw away the little plastic wall anchors that come in the package. It’s nice that they provide them, but better to do it right: use zinc self-drilling wall anchors. They are safer, sturdier and easier to work with. If you drill a large enough pilot hole, they will even go into wood. (I prefer to drilll a pretty thin pilot hole that’s about 2/3 the thickness of the core of the anchor.)
Use the sheet of thin cardboard (in the package protecting the glass) to create a template for the holes you’ll need for the mounting posts. Just lay the glass on the sheet and trace the holes on each corner. Then use tape to figure out the exact placement using the cardboard sheet on the wall. When you’ve got it where you want it, drill pilot holes into the center of each of your marked holes on the paper. Remove the paper sheet and screw in your zinc wall anchors. To attach the mounting posts, I just used the screws that came with the board because the heads are a little smaller to fit into the post – and they still thread into the wall anchors just fine.
A nice quality glassboard. Well packaged so arrived intact, and easy to install. It went up easily and securely.
The frosted glass with the metal spacers looks great. The glass surface makes cleaning this dry-erase board super easy. The tray for holding dry-erase pens attaches easily and securely. Not sure I could ask for anything more on a product such as this.
Also, when I was installing the board, I thought it had shipped with one of the corner assemblages missing. Turns out my pup took it to his treasure hoard. I only found it after I has requested a replacement form the manufacturer, which they sent out immediately via priority mail. Good product. Good company.
Honestly this was the easiest install I have ever had.
But this. It’s so gorgeous
(Btw I got the frosted glass option. Not the white as I read that the white backing comes super super white)
The product description and pictures are slightly misleading. The frosted version I purchased had a a metal backing plate. This means that it’s magnetic, but also means that it’s not at all transparent (despite what some of the pictures show). For me it’s not really a big deal, but make sure you take that into account.
Installation is fairly straightforward, you’ll need a drill to do it properly. The supplied drywall anchors are more than strong enough to hold this relatively light board. Be aware that when you’re drilling holes for the anchors you need to take special care to drill straight in, not at an angle! If you’re at an angle the standoff will tip as it bridges the gap from the wall to the board and the holes on the board won’t line up with the standoffs. If you take your time and have someone else spot you if needed then this is an easy installation that looks great when you’re finished.
Performance is great so far. Marks erase easily and completely, so much better than the standard whiteboards I’m used to using! Colors are a little less vibrant because the background isn’t as bright a white as a standard whiteboard (at least on the frosted version) but you do get a cool shadowing effect on the back surface of the glass.
The reason I needed this was to avoid GHOSTING. I am in financial services and use a board daily in my presentations. It is a very high traffic board. It is elegant and professional. The biggest concern for me was the ghosting as that looks terrible.
As long as this mounts as easy as it looks…I am thrilled.
I have had the semi-transparent version of this board for about a week now. I got the semi-transparent version because I think the transparent version might be too clear and make it hard to see the writing against a wall that isn’t white, and the opaque might be too concealing of the wall behind it. It’s a quality glass board, and it looks great. It’s extremely helpful for planning. It also looks far classier than a traditional white board. I coupled it with the Expo dry-erase pack of colored markers, spray, and a dry eraser from Amazon for an additional $7.
Got my glass board today and was super excited. It was packaged perfectly and had no damage. Great way to start! I then found the simple set of instructions and the few pieces required for install. I used the template as directed to mark the holes, but checked alignment 4x for equal spacing. Measure more than necessary, drill once! I then hung the template on the wall with painters tape, checked it for leveling across every part (probably repositioned it 12 times!) Drilled my holes slowly and straight with a 3/16″ bit. Popped in the 4 drywall anchors. Hand screwed the spacers in carefully, and it was a PERFECT fit! It probably took 20 minutes of very easy labor to get this hung on drywall and it’s not going anywhere. Take your time to do it right and you’ll love the result. Very happy with the board and now just need to find the right markers. Took someone elses advise here to get the Bic Great Erase Tip Fine and they are way too light in color. Only blue and black are recognizable, barely. Off to Target to pick up some Expo Bolds, hoping for a better result!
Update 7/27: Ok – well the wife went to Target to get the Expos and picked up the ‘low odor’ instead of ‘bold’. However, they work and look great. Having both the chisel and fine tip markers serves all my purposes. Will try bolds when these run out, but happy with them.
At first I bought regular Expo markers, and they didn’t write on it very well due to the slickness of the glass surface (the frosted side is the backside, so you’re writing on a slick glass side with a frosted backdrop). I then got some paint dry erase markers, basically window markers I guess, and they write on it well.
Depending on the light source in relation to the board, your scribblings can have really cool drop shadows, as I attached to this review. The other picture shows a doorway for scale. It’s satisfyingly big without being too overbearing in my opinion. And it looks really professional. Just don’t plan on using your regular dry erase markers (other than black) because they won’t show up very much.
It comes with some magnets so work can be hung on the board. The size is plenty big enough to out work math problems or write out storylines and still have room for our preschooler to hang work on the side. The only downside is although the board is magnetic, regular magnets will not stick to the board because of the thick layer of glass.
Overall, this is perfect for our classroom and would be great for an office as well. My husband says it’s by far the best part of our classroom; a real statement piece! He would say that since it was he who picked it out ;0)
Works great (with the right markers), erases well, just the right size for short impromptu sketches / calculations. Only down side is that it works best with bright markers, not the standard white board markers. But those work OK too – especially if the comparison is using those on an old white board that has years of old ink that doesn’t completely erase. The glass dry-erase board really does erase presenting a very clean surface.
We made do with the template provided, a level, & a couple of men. Took about 30 minutes.
We haven’t had issues with shadows either (as we read about others having & as can be plainly seen on the right side & edges of the product’s picture), but our walls are a mid-blue.
Shipping was speedy but box slightly damaged, I fully expected to return it but the board was unharmed & in perfect condition.
Would buy again.
on that note. When you are installing. The instructions have you lay the glass on top of the included instruction paper that is the exact side of the glass. then it will have you make a mark inside each hole to essentially create you own template for where to drill holes. take this part seriously. once you have the markings, drill those holes into your way. (i used the 4 drywall anchors) and avoided using studs. try to make sure that your drilling is level and then from there is pretty easy. the template you create is a little forgiving but try to be as accurate as you can and you’ll have no issues.
again, it looks fantastic and to me looks much better than just a simple white board. Fantastic product and an amazing price.
PROS:
All in all it looks good and I think it’ll work out. It fit nicely about my kitchen sink. It was easy enough to install with the included hardware…as long as you have a drill, a measuring tape, and a phillips head screw driver. Just be careful to drill thru the drywall as straight as possible.
The packaging was very good. No chips or cracks in the glass itself.
CONS:
There was a blemish on the frosted side. A 1.5″ brown ‘scratch’ or something. It does show thru.
NOTE: The frosted side goes against the wall. You write on the untreated glass side. It’s simple to mount and mine didn’t contain any instructions.
Be very careful with the frosted side – which goes towards the wall. Some frosting chipped off around one of the mounting holes as I was screwing it to the wall, but it was covered by the mount and doesn’t show.
I am going to buy a second board for my office to actually use as a dry erase board. I’m hoping the new one won’t have any blemishes, and I’ll put the new one into the kitchen and put the one with the blemishes into my office.
Overall, nice.
I love the concept here, and the item arrived in one piece without any scratches, chips, or cracks. I thought this was impressive for a large, solid piece of glass. It looks great on the wall . . . other than the fact that the frost coating is not smoothly and evenly applied across the back. It doesn’t look horrible, but it also doesn’t look as awesome as it could have if this would have been executed properly. All in all I would still recommend this board. It works great, and still looks worlds sharper than standard white boards.
I bought this for my office area- I think it’s great if you’re like me and writing down to do lists, goals, pros and cons list, are a fundamental part of your life! Okay, so I’m not that crazy, but I love it – its like art that you can write on. It’s really nice and sleek and worth every penny. The only hard part if the installation. I tried it on my own, but had to supplicate my dads help. Installation is not easy- you need to find studs and use levelers and hammers and… other stuff. Don’t get me wrong I have installed other items on my own, but you will need someone with intermediate experience of all things DIY. Anyways, awesome glass board but installation is hard.
It is a really elegant addition to my home office.
Being in Manhattan, my home office is open to the living room and is visible immediately after entering the apartment. It was important to be functional and belong with my modern aesthetic. This glass dry-erase board fit the bill perfectly.
They provide a template for easy drilling of the anchor holes… and give you a decent amount of leeway for hanging in case you aren’t incredibly steady with the drill like me. I was able to hang it entirely on my own.
Expo markers seem to work really great on it and erase sans spray. I am however having problems with some of the cheaper markers not erasing without spray. I am blaming the markers. If doing it all over again, I might have gone for the magnetic glass version just like this one. Didn’t realize how much I wanted to stick things to it; blue poster putty works fine. The Neon Expo markers look pretty good on it too.
I may put one of these in the kitchen, too. The only thing I’d recommend is that you get some bright/neon markers to write on this thing with; the standard dry erase markers don’t look as good. I bought the EXPO “neon bullet tip” dry erase ones and they look and work great. I’m totally happy with spending the extra money on this thing.
Board looks great on the wall! I had a similar experience to other reviewers, as the template provided did not match the holes in the glass board. This must be a recognized problem, because I received I received an email from the seller directly after purchasing station that the template may not match and giving steps to ensure proper installation. I just flipped the template over, traced the holes, and used that to tape to the wall and drill. Installation only took about 5-10 minutes, even with the extra work and being meticulous.
The price may seem a bit high, but basic white boards aren’t necessarily cheap, and this is a much sleeker design. I don’t know if there is a white glass version, but that would look great too.
I got my board a few days ago and it’s amazing. I’m taking several online classes right now, most of which involve some fairly high level math. It’s so much more convenient to be able to do one time things, or even write formulas that I’m going to be needing for the next week or so on my board. It was easy to mount on my wall, and feels like a good quality product. I will probably be buying at least one more in the near future.
I bought this board to hang in our eat-in kitchen. I really didn’t want the standard dry erase board look but I wanted functionality. It looks great and serves as a changeable piece of art if someone’s in the mood to be creative. Buy lots of marker colors and draw something different every day or use it for messages and lists. The only problem we had with the very simple hanging instructions was that the included template measurements didn’t quite match the actual product. Thank goodness we caught the error before actually drilling holes in the wall.
This dry erase board works really well and was easy to install. There was a template included which you just tape to the wall. The hardware was very high quality and this looks much classier in our kitchen than the standard white board we had before. We replaced the old white board because it became difficult to erase even after cleaning. I don’t think we will have the same problem with this one. I was even thinking of buying another one to make a light table for drawing and negative viewing.
Beautiful! and, like someone else noted, well packaged, template easy to follow. I was tempted to purchase a piece of frosted glass and these mirror clips that I’ve bought and used for hanging a mirror, but there’s no way to beat the price: it is tempered glass, which is a bit pricier than average glass and the hardware is far better and more attractive than the clips. So this is economical, as well as elegant! One small nit-pick: it would have been very nice if they had found an elegant solution to storing pens/eraser.
