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

[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

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

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.

TRU RED Templated Whiteboard is Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was completely wowed when I opened the box of this whiteboard. I was a little weary of the glass but after installing (which was very easy and came with user friendly instructions) I wouldn’t change a thing. The Glass Board has a sleek modern design and gave the office a more elevated feel. The glass is durable and magnetic which allows me to get so much use out of one board. I am able to do everything I need to on one board! The board came with 3 double sided templates which allows versatility when using the board. It is super easy to switch from one template to another. The board came with a tray and 1 dry erase marker. I have not tired a different brand’s marker on the board but I am sure it will work fine and easily come off since the glass is easy to clean. I have only used this board a few days and it’s a life changer I highly recommend!

Substantial and sleek design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon arrival I was really impressed with the quality of this glass whiteboard. It was packaged very well. Since it is glass it is quite heavy and substantial. The glass provides a more sleek and modern style to traditional whiteboards. We ended up hanging this in our hallway. I have 3 young kids so i was very concerned with hanging it up high due to its weight and overall size. The sheer weight of it made it a little tricky to install but we were provided with very thorough and easy to follow instructions. I do wish its size allowed it to be installed in our studs. I would feel so much better with the install that way but the dimensions were a little off to be able to accomplish that. I did end up placing it at a lower height at this point in time. It allows us to keep a schedule on it for our family as well as let our kids draw on it. The glass is very easy to clean and and i appreciate that it is also magnetic. The accessories provided were fine too. I do wish there was an option for a cup holder as our markers never seem to all fit on the ledges provided. I do wish the ledge spanned the whole length of the board. I love the tabbed template options that came along with the board. There was a great variety to cover lots of needs. Overall this is a great quality and high design whiteboard and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for this item.
