Interesting Concept
on April 29, 2024
Posted by: A.I.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first opened my glass whiteboard I was super excited. I immediately became a little nervous that I could easily break it since it is all glass. I am a teacher and I love that it has several different templates. Right now I have it set up in my office at home with the calendar template but I plan on bringing it to my classroom next school year once we move buildings. I love that it has a graph template since I am a math teacher. In the photos you can see some of the other templates that are available. I also love that if you take out the templates you are left with a white background so that it can be used as a plain whiteboard. Before I realized that the marker that it comes with says "Glass Dry Erase Marker" I used some other dry erase markers that I had at home. They do not erase well so I highly recommend using the marker that it came with. One critique that I have is the way the writing looks if you are looking at slight angle. You can see a shadowy reflection of the writing due to the glass. I have not yet mounted it on the wall because I have not decided on the location I want it at home. I might wait until I bring it to my classroom to mount it. It comes with the necessary accessories to mount it 1 black marker and 2 magnets that are also erasers. I do wish that it came with more than one marker especially one of another color.

Amazing stylish adaptable tool
on April 25, 2024
Posted by: Kodegard
from Las Vegas
[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!!

Gorgeous Whiteboard
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: Embo
from Myersville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a functional and gorgeous whiteboard! My favorite feature are the templates that are included. I love that I can switch between a monthly calendar a to-do list and a dotted writing template. I find that I use the to-do list the most often. The design is sleek and modern and I love the glass of the whiteboard. It's easy to clean and write on and looks really sleek in my office. Another really cool feature is that this is magnetic so I am able to also stick things on the board with magnets. This is a larger whiteboard and though it is thin and sleek it is fairly heavy because of the glass. It's easy to follow the instructions to hang this on the wall but it definitely takes at least two people to hang it due to the weight of the board. I like that a tray was included for the bottom of the board to store the dry erase markers and other accessories. The board is large which is why I wanted it for my office as it is visible from farther away and you are able to fit a lot of details into one monthly calendar spot. This works great for my team as we can all add our programs and events into this calendar for an easy visual. I am very satisfied with this whiteboard's quality and visual aesthetic!

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!

Perfect for Homeschooling
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: Alison
from Hillsborough
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a homeschooler I’m always looking for ways to get more organized! This glass white board and the included templates fit the bill. The quality is fantastic it’s very sturdy and would stand up to use in an office or public school environment as well. I liked the glass design compared to a traditional whiteboard because it’s easier to clean and has a more stylish look. I really enjoyed the templates they helped me keep my writing organized. It was easy to rotate through the templates and they store in the white board so they don’t get lost. The only down side is that if you’re using the calendar template and want to use a different template you’ll have to erase and re-write the entire calendar so if you’re primary method of organizing is calendar based you may not use the other templates as much. The included marker and magnets worked well! I plan to install this white board on our home school wall once the room is ready! For now I have it propped up in the hallway for easy access. You will need two people to install the board it’s very heavy (comes along with the quality!). I’m looking forward to using this white board for years to come.

Great Organization Tool
on April 24, 2024

from Antioch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I struggle with organization. I am constantly writing to-do lists and losing them or putting them in an app and forgetting to check them. I’m always looking for something that will keep my to-dos front and center without having a bunch of sticky notes everywhere. This whiteboard is great for that. Currently I have it set up for Kanban organization but it has so many options! You can change the background of the whiteboard to a Kanban board or a priority matrix. Or if you would rather see your to-dos by date it can do a monthly or weekly calendar. The flexibility is what makes this great. Right now I’m working on a bunch of projects with no specific deadlines so Kanban works great. But next month I may change it out as other things become priorities and I have more due dates. It’s so easy to change the background – they just slide in and out. I have the whiteboard set up in my office and it is definitely a professional addition. The glass design makes it so easy to clean – no worries about the white eventually getting streaked with dry erase marker (this seems to happen no matter how well I clean regular whiteboards). I do wish that it came with a completely blank background but the graph or dotted ones do allow more flexibility. The accessory tray is sturdy a little hard to snap into place but now I know its not going anywhere. Overall this is a great tool for someone like me who needs to have a visible but neat and professional way to stay organized.

Great Glass Whiteboard
on April 23, 2024
Posted by: L.S.
from Raleigh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this board. It is a lot heavier than I expected. I’m used to the older style of whiteboards rather than that glass and this style with the glass is a lot heavier than the other style. I love the glass! It writes so much smoother and cleans easier and better than a traditional whiteboard. I love the look of the board on the wall too. It looks clean sleek and modern. Installation was a bit intimidating with how heavy the board is but all the supplies were included and the instructions were clear. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be once I got started. I appreciated that the instructions were so clear and everything was provided that I needed to mount. It seems like it is strongly mounted now and should not have any issues with it coming down. This whiteboard comes with templates which I liked. I’m currently using the calendar template. They are easy to put in and add a nice feature that lets you use the whiteboard in different ways. Overall I really like this whiteboard and am happy having it to be able to use.

White board for any use
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: Neon shorts
from Manhattan beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This glass white board is very useful! So far I have used it for my businesses for my kids schedules and for daily calendar reminders. I like that it’s a glass piece because it makes it chic and nice to look at. The sliding templates are easy to use and functional. This white board didn’t come with an eraser so we purchased one separately for it. I like the accessories because there’s a placeholder for the markers to go. I purchased some extra white board markers to use on it. The installation is a bit tricky because it is a very heavy item so wherever you end up installing it you must drill it into the wall. I think I would have better use for it if I could transport it with me from my office to my house and back. But since that isn’t an option here I kept it in my office. It is still very helpful to use and remember daily schedules and I loved that the templates come with varying options. I will definitely make good use of this white board to all different uses!
