Desktop Dry erase board
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: C.J.
from Loxley
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this dry erase board and was instantly impressed by the overall quality. I had seen other desktop dry erase boards and the plastic backing was less appealing. That being said I was very pleased to see that this one had a more metal appearance and seemed more durable overall. The modern look of the glass top and the white base was very sleek. I appreciated the phone/tablet holders at the top of the board for easy access/storage. I use this board at my desk for pending "To Do" items or important dates/tasks to remember. The only drawback i had was that it was fairly large and I had to try and make room to accommodate on my smaller desk space in my work office. For those that have ample desk space I don't foresee this being a drawback for them. I also really like the pen storage underneath with the included eraser and marker that came with it. In this way I can remove clutter from my desktop surface and relocate in a more "hidden" compartment. Overall I am very pleased with this product.

Very nice compact dry erase board

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I greatly enjoyed this little board. It is perfect for your desk at home or work as it does not take up much space. The angle of the writing space is also nice because it eliminates glare and you can see your notes without craning your neck. It also makes it easy to write on while sitting down. I like the design feature that it features where it stores your marker and eraser inside. You can't lose them and they are not noticeable when not in use which helps your desk or wall look organized. Two minor drawbacks. It's kinda hard to erase stuff. You have to put a good deal of pressure on the board to get it to actually erase. And there's no way to prop the lid open to retrieve your marker or eraser or whatever you store in it. You need 2 hands which if you are on the phone is not ideal. It's a very minor drawback though and not something that would prevent me from recommending this product. Overall if you need something small to take quick notes and want something that looks pretty good on your desk I would highly recommend this board.

Does a good job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this little desktop whiteboard does its job. There is a nice amount of space under the top where you can store assorted office supplies like pens and sticky notes. The angled top made it easy to write notes. I used it in lieu a sticky note which has cut down on my office supply costs. If you want a more organized approach to your white board be prepared to make it on your own as there are no templates provided. For those with smaller desks I wouldn't suggest getting this style as I found it bulky. In the end for the right person and circumstance this is a nice add to your office setup.

Perfect portable dry erase board
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: Momof4
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desktop glass dry erase board is just what this mom needed! Between working part time needing to keep track of schedules and helping my kids with homework the ability to move this board around where our family needs it has been so helpful. Because it is slanted that helps ensure good writing posture when our daughter is using it for schoolwork. I was skeptical things would disappear as this is a dry erase board but whatever is written/drawn stays on super well (unless using the provided eraser). This dry erase board is a win for our family because of its portability storage underneath the glass surface and durability!

well crafted but large footprint
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: R.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Desktop Glass Dry Erase Board is shaped like a keyboard complete with a tilt. The top of the board opens for storage and easily fits the included dry erase pen and eraser as well as other stationary items. The top of the board also has grooves to hold a pen if needed. It is easy to write on and erases pretty easily though that also depends on the color. Some colors required a bit more effort in erasing than others. It sits flat on an even surface and remains stable while on a lap. I like that it has a tilt as that makes it comfortable to write on while sitting in a chair. The biggest drawback to the dry erase board is its footprint. It is the size of a regular keyboard which means it takes up a lot of space on a desk. It is probably best for those who use a lap top have an l-shaped desk or have a keyboard drawer. I personally cannot store it on my desk as there is not room for it in addition to my keyboard. The quality of the glass dry erase board is great and it is has a lot of positives from the storage to ease of use and clean up. However its larger footprint makes it less useful than other options.

Neat and nice
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: C&C Mom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this dry erase board! It has transformed my workspace making my desk look so much more organized. I used to have sticky notes cluttering my computer screen to keep track of tasks and reminders but now this desktop dry erase board gives me a clean reusable space for my to-dos and thoughts—no more messy papers everywhere! The board is clearly designed with productivity in mind. It arrived in well-cushioned packaging and included a black dry erase marker and a small eraser. A standout feature is the liftable board which reveals built-in storage for your markers pens and the eraser. It’s also impressively durable—despite accidentally slamming the cover shut the thick rubber cushions absorbed the impact and prevented any damage. I’ve placed the board under my computer monitors at work which is super convenient for glancing at my tasks while working. However because my monitor stand isn’t flat the board wobbles a bit—but that’s more about my setup than the product itself. Crossing tasks off directly on the board is so satisfying and much better than dealing with sticky notes cluttering my space. The only minor downside is the eraser—it leaves a bit of marker residue behind. Not a dealbreaker but worth noting. Overall this dry erase board is a fantastic addition to my desk keeping everything neat and functional. Highly recommend!

Get your desk organized

from Amston
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I write notes on paper at my desk throughout the day. At the end of the day I have random notes scattered across my desk that I struggle to make sense of the next day. I used the dry erase board to jot down all my notes and ditched the paper. It helped me organize all my notes and keep my desk clean. The quality is top-notch and the design is great because it fits behind my keyboard so it is always in view. The dry erase board has a phone holder and storage inside for pens and other small items—my favorite part and an added bonus! If you're looking to get organized I highly recommend this.
