I’m impressed with this budget Amazon brand whiteboard. The build quality is surprisingly good. My only gripe is that I needed to mount it vertically but the mounting hangers are fixed in position for horizontal (landscape) hanging only. With a bit of brute force I managed to disassemble it enough to move them so I could in fact mount it vertically, and it looks grea
Easy to fix up and easy to wipe off and keep clean, love this as part of my daily workstation tools for focus and productivity. The pens are very long-lasting and there magnetic discs to hold extra things like notes and things to do, so yes great, A simple tool but essential to me
The size is very good, not too big not too small. Love drawing diagrams and blurting on it. You can also hang it up on the wall which makes it easier to use and store. Comes with magnets and whiteboard markers . Great investment if your looking to buy a white board
Pretty easy to attach to a wall, the fixings aren’t the best or the design of the fixings- the quality is good enough for a home office etc. it comes with pens! And magnets and a board wiper so pretty good value for what it is.
I ordered a more expensive board, which failed to arrive. This one was half the price and available next day. It arrived with a couple of ripples in the surface, but not so bad it affected writing.
It is very light weight and can only be fitted horizontally. The accessories were OK quality too.
Most of all, it is great value
Great size, looks great on the wall – I always use 3M Command Strips to attach to the wall, so does not leave any mark.
Still thought it was expensive but cheaper than most of alternatives I saw
The board hangs from two rings which slide freely along the top moulding. This is useful if you need to unhook it regularly, but I expected brackets I could screw to the wall, not a freehanging surface, so some inventiveness is now required to fix it in the studio.
It’s a good size for what I need, and includes a few magnets. There are two markers which are housed in the back of a wiper, which itself is magnetic enough to hold firm on the board and renders the pen tray at the bottom surplus to requirements. I haven’t looked to see if the tray will detach as I can see myself being clumsy and hitting it at some point!
So all in all it’s a bit flimsy for the size and lacks secure fixing options. I’ll revisit this review once it’s installed
Some benefits:
Easy to hang.
Easy to detach.
Small dent on whiteboard but I didn’t have time to return it.
We have a built-fridge, so can’t attach fridge magnets or shopping lists to that. Then I found this whiteboard. It’s the perfect solution and has seen daily use since I put it up. I used slightly larger screws than provided because I wanted to attach magnetic notepads to it and was worried about the weight.
Only just got it on the wall today.
When it arrived, in a box, delivered by two men from the back of a decent size van, and they dropped it into my lounge I thought how the flippidy-do am I going to get that monster up two flights of stairs and into my study (spare bedroom), unpacked and onto my wall.
I had measured, looked for something right in the ball-park and settled on this.
I’m glad I did. it is six feet long by four feet high, that’s twenty-four square feet of glass whiteboard.
I did it myself. However, this is not DIY. Get a friend to help (or two) and make sure one of you has a clue what to do.
Did I mention it’s big? It is.
BIG.
The white board is exactly that. It’s white, it works. BUT, this dang thing took 3 WEEKS to arrive. I didn’t read the small print so it is my fault but this is Amazon for goodness sake. I was expecting a week tops. Don’t buy it here if your in a hurry.
Board itself is very good. Easy to clean, very nice looking. Only issue I had is its tray keeps falling off. Not using the tray anymore. Could be better to make it screwable instead of adhesive. It wouldn’t wake us up in the middle of the night with a bang.
Light weight and easy fix. You could mount it on a swing arm for positionability or anywhere flat, side of a cupboard, behind a door etc
Or I guess let the kids have it as a re-useable scribble pad (No! Mine stays in the work room Lol !).
Bought this to organise my administration and yes it really is big! Very easy to fit (but heavy so you may need a hand) two screws into the wall. Obviously if your wall is slightly out for example older houses it may stick out slightly but writing on it doesn’t cause it to bounce etc.
Comes with a eraser which is also a pen holder: and when the pens run out of you use different size ones then there is a pen tray which you can attach at the bottom.
The magnets are strong enough to hold A4 pieces of paper (that’s the most I have used personally/ so not tested anything else)
When erasing the board it’s clean no marks or staining and feels a well made product.
I can see some reviews stating damage etc but it’s an easy return and replace system with Amazon so if it is damaged or not suitable you can easily return this item so it is risk free. But the packaging is robust so sure it should be fine if courier takes adequate care
Out of the box it’s designed to hang landscape…but I knew that thanks to the reviews left by other shoppers. I knew there’d be a way around it. I relocated the hangers onto a short edge by removing (with a modelling saw) one of the black corner pieces, moving the hangers from the long edge to the short edge and using epoxy to glue the corner piece back on. (I tried for a while to remove the aluminium edging to slide the hangers out, but the edging is glued on!). The corner pieces don’t add strength as far as I can tell, they’re just there to protect the corners. I then hung the board up on the wall and used the included bracing pieces to hold the bottom edge against the wall so it doesn’t bang about when doodling or wiping it clean. I did notice that the board was slightly warped when it was just hanging by the top edge…but that wasn’t a concern once the bracings were attached at the bottom.
It might’ve been better if it was made to be screwed at each corner, however with it being hung and braced at the bottom it can be temporarily moved off the wall if required. Some people may appreciate that!
Nice board, great for the home office!
I ordered this Amazon’s basics whiteboard and it arrived the next day with prime. When it arrived the packaging was all in tact and the whiteboard was in pristine condition.
The pen tray slots onto the whiteboard without the use of any tools and the loops at the top of the whiteboard for hanging can be slid along the board to fit the location of your hooks. It’s a really easy hanging process and means you can move the location of the board around your house whenever you want to.
This whiteboard is really affordable and we use it everyday for studying as well as writing up shopping lists!
The only criticism I have is that I ordered my own steadtler pens separately as I was concerned the pens the board came with would be cheap and smear. As suspected the pens thar come with the board do leave some marks on the board which are hard to rub off but by using the steadtler pens we’ve had no smearing or scratching. The board is white and still looks new despite a lot of useage.
I spent a long time comparing whiteboards as I was unsure about a cheaper option however I don’t think from my experience there’s any need to get something more expensive.
The two whiteboard pens included with the magnetic eraser are good and factor in to the board’s cost effectiveness; which I must say is great considering it was 24.99, comes with whiteboard pens, magnets and is sturdily built.
I mounted the whiteboard to my wall using Large size Command mounting strips which keep the board on the wall and require 0% effort to fit. The board went on the wall instantly and by the looks of things, will be staying there until I take it off thanks to the command strips. The board does come with screws, raw plugs and two sliding hanging mounts at the top but I didn’t use these.
Overall, a great purchase for any student who needs something to get thoughts and bits of information down on. Makes my life a lot easier!
The board itself is great, and the supplied pen tray, magnets and pens are great.
The only issue I have encountered is the mounting and this is a very very big problem for some….
From scrolling past everyones reviews you can see that the board is INTENDED for mounting landscape, because of the fact that the top side has sliding hooks which can ONLY be moved to the portrait side if you remove the corners, screws and the aluminium frame (a lot of hassle and can potentially damage the board itself).
Some people have obviously taken the time and effort to do this.
However, for me this isnt worth the time and risk. Thus the only way to mount this board Portrait is with the mounting clips supplied. Now MY issue is only 2 mounting clips are supplied and they are intended to support the bottom of the board when mounted in landscape. I wanted to find out where to get more of these mounting clips but after contacting support via chat and calls they have no idea where or who manufactured these mounting clips. Support were being very nice and tried their best, but I am very dissapointed that these clips cannot be obtained whatsoever.
Please please do not get this board if you want to mount it vertically (portrait) as it is not worth the hassle.
If it wasnt for this simple problem I would of given it 5 stars.
I figured that this would be like all the other whiteboards I’ve ever bought, and go either way around. But no, it is landscape only – as in the pictures. It looks like you might be able to unscrew the edges and pull it apart enough to slide the hangers off and around, but I tried it and it is well stuck (good, really!). But it is a nice board, so I put it the way it has to go and I’m happy enough. But if portrait mode is important, this one (June 2020 stock) won’t work for you. There are no holes in the corners either, though I guess you could drill them.
So with those warnings, it is a nice board with nice accessories. (It is also not what I’d call “light” in weight, but it is not heavy either, but enough to make it sturdy.)
