TRU RED templated whiteboard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate to receive the TRU RED templates whiteboard through the Stellar Review group in exchange for my honest feedback. This white board is stunning. The glass brings an element if elegance to a whiteboard that I never thought possible. The templates are versatile boasting grids graphs weekly calendars as well as task triaging columns. The glass erases easily and cleanly leaving no stains behind. I can pivot from rounding meeting demonstrations to daily to do lists in a flash. Tye templates are suoer wleasy to switch and are made of durable plastic. I would hands down recommend this board for business or home organization. I would have given this board a and ecstatic 5 stars if it were not for the difficult installation. You definitely need two people to hang this board due to the heavy weight of the glass. The instructions discussed a template for drilling holes but my box had no template. The holes must be precise or you can not hang this board. I drilled several holes trying to get it just right and then came the slightly convoluted screws that have to go through the glass. There is no wiggle room on this it has to be perfect or it cannot screw in through the glass. That being said all of my frustrations went out the wi dow when I saw the beautiful finished product. It is now part of the building forever because I will never move it but I do love the sleek design and feel the trouble was well worth the end result which is why I still gave 4 stars. Can we make a lighter version?

I dont understand the purpose of this board

[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.

Amazing innovation for productivity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never seen anything like this whiteboard and I love it! It comes with 6 templates that I was instantly inspired to use. It's really easy to swap templates and I love that there is dedicated storage in the back for them. (Pro-tip for installation: make sure you leave ample room on at least one side to swap templates in and out!) I could definitely see a crafty person making their own templates. I'd absolutely be interested in buying additional templates — like a storyboard layout or even just different fonts and color schemes to match my office decor. It also comes with a marker and two magnets though a magnetic eraser would have been nice to include. A vertical version would also be really cool! Installation is straightforward but you'll likely need an extra set of hands since the glass is heavy duty. There is an included mounting template which is a great idea but ultimately not the most precise since there are no markings included for where to drill. I ended up just measuring on my own. It also would have been ideal for the holes to be 32" apart instead of 34-7/16" apart (to hit two sets of studs) but it does still feel sturdy with drywall anchors on one side.

High Quality board

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I received this board from the Stellar review panel in exchange for my honest review it really did exceed my expectations. This dry erase board is a durable and a high quality piece for any home/office space. It is pretty heavy but I plan to hang the board in my home office to help coordinate my home plans with my work schedule. Because of it's design it make cleaning very easy. I love the different template inserts included. I will mainly use the calendar but I also like some of the other inserts for project planning. The accessory tray completes the design and functionality of the board. I can leave my markers on the tray and don't need to worry about storing them elsewhere. The magnets are also a bonus. I highly recommend this board if you are looking for a large calendar or work board. I can see it lasting many year beyond any alternative. It is a great investment piece to your home/office.
