Tabletop VersaChalk Porcelain Magnetic Classroom Reviews Summary

Quality and Material

Pros:

• "But the materials used seem like good quality. It's actually a hard piece of slate in the center instead of a fake sheet of chalkboard slate like you find in many decorative chalkboards nowadays."
• "Gorgeous little slate board. Real slate on the board, too."
• "It's real chalkboard!! These days so many are a cheep version, so I have to paint chalkpaint over them everytime."
• "Really pleased with the sturdy, real slate construction."
• "This is a real chalkboard, not the plastic imitation type. Regular chalk works great!"
• "This is a slate board and not the fake boards that wear off over time."
• "It is real slate, and I think it's exactly the type of chalkboard you would want for a rustic/farmhouse decor style."

Cons:

• "A small complaint: the wood frame edges came sharp and sliver-y, and needed to be sanded to be safer for employees to be around."
• "The original product I ordered literally fell apart in my hands as I took it out of the box."
• "Very poor quality. It's all about faking the rustic look lots of us love nowadays but it feel like it's gonna fall apart in my hands any moment :("
• "Absolute JUNK... It literally fell COMPLETELY APART... MATERIALS WERE NO GOOD.... THREW IT AWAY..."
• "The quality of the wood is very flimsy for the weight of the chalkboard."
• "It feels cheap... as if you would to drop it, it would not survive the drop."
• "Cute little chalkboards but not the best quality. 1 of the 3 I ordered needed to be glued back together upon arrival."

• "It’s so cute and sturdy."

Cons:

• "This product was a lot smaller than posted."
• "Very cute..but not worth the price. Paid $32.00 but very interesting that I found a receipt inside the box for $14.95."
• "Waaaaay smaller than I expected. Baby size 😂 it was a gift but made a funny story about how shocked we were when we saw it opened on Christmas Day."
• "This way too expensive for what it is at the current price of $30. It should be closer to $15."

• "We use it to keep track of our newborn sons daily feedings."
• "It use it at my cottage to display a welcome message. I use chalk markers and they clean up nicely off this board."

• "This board is perfect for my magnets that I sell at festivals."
• "I bought it as a cute chalkboard sign just as decoration in my kitchen but I use it EVERYDAY because of the little shelf!"

Cons:

• "Board is too bumpy to easily write on."
• "Any attempt to write on it results in very bumpy, hard to read writing."
• "The writing surface is so, so bumpy you can't write clearly with even the smoothest chalk."
• "The board surface is almost... slimy. My chalk pens from the same brand had a hard time sticking and the writing was fairly illegible."
• "The slate surface is rough and difficult to write on with standard chalk."
• "The chalkboard is not smooth, very hard to write on."
• "The board has a wavy texture."
