Super Versatile Whiteboard for the whole family
on April 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This whiteboard is extremely versatile. Not only do we use it for all our family needs but it serves as a very useful tool for my day-to-day home office uses. The templates are absolutely brilliant - what a great idea! When installing the actual whiteboard is quite heavy but that just shows the durability of the tempered glass that they use. The Kanban template was a really nice touch that we were both very pleased to see as a common organizing tool for both of us parents. Our kids also love the versatility of the whiteboard being able to add their own engagements and easily write them in. We even have used it as a great way to play board games and have family discussions on our future trip planning as well as with homework. All in all this is a great useful tool for not only the home office but also for the whole family. The bottom tray for pens could be a little stronger of a connection but all in all no problems. We put it in our kitchen which now serves as a key focal point for all our family planning. Great whiteboard for the family!

Great design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cool whiteboard! The ability to switch up the templates underneath the glass makes this so useful! We have mostly used it as a calendar/agenda for keeping dates but we really are excited to find usefulness for the rest of the templates. It hangs in our office and really helps us keep on task. With the included magnets and tray we have everything we need in one place with so much versatility.

Makes Busy Life Much Easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. I did not realize how much our family needed this board. We have 4 kids who are very active in sports activities and lessons. This board makes our life so much easier by keeping everyone on the same page. We put the whiteboard in a central location and the install was a breeze. It took us only a few minutes from start to finish to install. The glass design is very sleek and smooth to write on and the magnetic feature is quite handy to hang up important notes. The different templates are a nice bonus feature that are easy to switch out. The one downside of the templates is that you have to erase what's on the board in order to use a different template. So if you fill out the month calender but wanted to use the graph template you need to erase the entire month. One feature that I have surprisingly enjoyed is the handy little tray underneath the board to hold the marker. It is nice having a designated spot for the maker so it doesn't get lost. Overall I love this whiteboard and would recommend it to a friend due to its ease of use sleek design and versatility.

Amazing stylish adaptable tool
on April 25, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this thing!! It is stylish and sleek with the glass design and easy to read. I also appreciate that the glass will remain easy to clean with the whiteboard markers (unlike the white paint whiteboard type where the finish can wear after years of use). We also used a smaller acrylic type whiteboard in our home but for us I found it hard to see it got scuffed from friction erasing and I ended up not using it regularly alas. The templates have been fun to use and really helpful— the kids loved the graphs and dot grid for doodling and I’m loving the calendar function. I haven’t tried the to-do templates and kanban template yet but I’m excited to use them since I use those features in other workflows (just started with calendar as my current need with events and deadlines). The templates are pretty easy to slide in and out of their slot as long as you don’t rush. The eraser magnets are strong stylish and effective and the rail is helpful. We hung this in our hallway by my workspace so we took off the little ledge/rail to avoid running into it and opted to get some markers with a magnet integrated to make it work best for our space. The installation took a little attention and effort to mount it safely since it is heavy (being glass) but the instructions and template helped make that easy to do. Excited to use this for a long time and to have it be adaptable depending on evolving needs for my work or for my family!!

The perfect white board for home offices
on April 25, 2024

from Teaneck
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently went fully remote with my job and now am full time working from home so I wanted to make a specific space for a home office and was in need of a good white board. This white board has been amazing it is so customizable with the changeable templates so I can swap them out depending on what I need at that moment. The fact that it is glass allows it to wipe clean better than standard boards. The pen writes very well and the tray at the bottom holds all of the necessary accessories. The board is heavier than I thought it would be but I guess since it’s glass it makes sense to be on the heavier side. Installation wasn’t too bad but for me it was a two person job. Overall this is a great white board for anyone who has a home office space.

I dont understand the purpose of this board
on April 25, 2024

from Westwood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited about this board hoping it would help my family get organized in our kitchen but upon opening it I am completely confused. It weighs a billon pounds and is super cumbersome. I have no interested in mounting this on the wall in my kitchen as it’s huge and heavy and would require mollies and anchors completing destroying our walls. One of the “features” listed on the packing is it says “heavy”. Why is “heavy” a feature? Usually lightweight and easily to install are better features? And if you were thinking of using it for an office where maybe insanely heavy doesn’t bother you you’d probably be looking for something bigger so the entire meeting can see what is written on it.

Very Good but not perfect
on April 24, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Form Function I would rate this product a 4 overall. I will break the review down into two areas Form and function and speak to each of these. Form: the heavy glass finish is beautiful stylish easy to use and to clean. It’s a great size to allow for my team brainstorming sessions using the template documents notably I really like the Kanban template. I like all the templates but they are also a slight con to my review. The instructions to mount are easy to use and I had the tools needed to mount so that was a breeze. The mounting template is a nice touch in helping align the board to where I wanted it on my wall. Side note: the dry erase marker came damaged and had ruptured before delivery. Luckily I have my own marker. Function: the functionality of the board is novel and useful. I like that there are different templates and I don’t need to draw them on the board and then have to erase and redraw later if I am using the board for something else. All of the templates are good and serve useful functions however when I shift from calendar to graph I end up erasing the calendar dates and important appointments. Then I need to write them back in later. I did this twice and quickly got irritated by this process. Not sure if the material the templates are made from allow me to use marker so I can set the dates and then go back and forth from calendar to the other templates. The calendar template may need a do over or maybe change it to another template altogether. It’s a minor nuisance that doesn’t really hurt the board because I have a calendar notebook so I just won’t use the calendar template going forward. Overall: I really like the board and it will get a ton of use.
