U Brands Chalkboard, 17 x 23 Inches, Birch Wood Frame (310U00-01)

Regular chalk boards are hard to find!!! Everything is dry erase. This purchase was for during calving season. Worked great!!! Works great in South Dakota calving barns. Thanks for making an oldie but a goodie product!!!

This really works well with chalk markers and some chalk. I don't know if it is the material but not all chalk works with this. Not made from the slate boards that we all know from school. We use this in our home to write out scheduling for our household. Clean up is really clean. A bit of soap and a sponge or Windex does the trick. Mounting is a standard imbedded picture frame mount. If you want you can buy small frame mounts to connect a wire but it comes with the nail and mounting goods if this is where you want to go. Good product for what it will be used for.

The U Brands Chalkboard, measuring 17 x 23 inches with a birch wood frame, is a wonderful addition to my home. Its size is ideal for various uses, from jotting down reminders in the kitchen to being a fun drawing space in a kid's room. The birch wood frame gives it a rustic yet modern look, making it a stylish piece that complements different decor styles. The chalkboard surface is smooth and easy to write on, and it cleans off nicely without leaving ghost marks, maintaining a fresh and neat appearance. The durability of the board is impressive; it's sturdy enough to withstand regular use. It's also easy to mount, and the hardware provided is reliable. This chalkboard has been a hit in my household, serving both practical and decorative purposes. U Brands has created a quality product that's both functional and aesthetically pleasing. A solid five-star rating for its versatility, quality, and design.

I really do like the size of this but there could be some improvements overall. The markers show up MUCH better in the photos than they do in person for some reason.PRO:-- The size is much better for my purposes than the 2 smaller boards I was using.-- This can be hung both in portrait and in landscape style.-- The frame is very well-made and of better quality than I expected.CON:-- While the board is easy to write on, I had to find just the write markers. Some of my liquid chalk markers (that work really well on some other boards) sometimes skip on this. Also, the board tends to mattify liquid marker ink to the point that the colors lose some of their vibrance. I have neon markers and metallic markers that don't all show well on the board (but they showed up fine on my other boards).-- When trying to hand this in portrait style, the nail holes are somehow "off" (or maybe I did something wrong.) It would have been nice to have some kind of attached hardware or even a wire for easier hanging. I wasn't able to hang this with tacks because of the larger heads on them; I used nails instead. Once I got this hung up, I didn't want to take it down to take a photo of the back! I just change the message while it's hanging.Overall, I do like this and, for the $14 price, I can't really complain. I am going to look into getting some super-vibrant markers to see if that helps.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! It is easy to hang, sturdy, so much fun, and smooth! I would definitely buy this again!

I love this design. Unfortunately, I bought a multipack of chalk pens and all the normal colors erased, but I cannot get the metallic color off.

Granddaughter loves it.

I used my board for my daughter's baby shower. It can be mounted as well. I do recommend.
