Cleaning & Maintenance

Pros:

• "It doesn’t erase well at all!!"
• "The maker stains it even after cleaning as soon as we’re done the lesson."

Design & Features

• "I love the way it pops into a two-sided stand-up board!"
• "Great board for tabletop. I leave notes on it daily for my family and I especially love that you can flip it over to another side!"
• "The design also makes it possible to stand it upright (as intended) or lay it on it's side for wider displays."

Cons:

• "The board just doesn’t have a super strong magnetic pull and thus doesn’t hold them in place."
• "The magnetic side isn't very strong and there's only one side that is magnetized."
• "This board can’t be used with regular dry erase markers. That defeats the purpose of buying it."
• "I can't erase anything on the chalkboard side without wetting the board."
• "The only chalk you can use is the liquid chalk markers that comes with it. They're markers that obviously mark all over everything."
• "The chalk markers do not erase AT ALL and immediately went to the trash."
• "Both sides are magnetic."
