Audio-Visual Direct Magnetic White Glass Dry-Erase Board Set - 6' x 3' - Includes Magnets, Hardware & Marker Tray

The board is exactly what I expected, and mounting it was simple. I taped the included template poster board to the whiteboard, used a pen on the attachment holes to mark the position, taped the template to the wall, drilled the pilot holes, and removed the template. The included wall anchors worked well enough, though one of them didn't hold when putting in the screw and spun...possibly due to poor drilling of the pilot on my part. I replaced it with a larger one that I had on hand, and all was well. Some have commented that the board is too heavy for the included anchors, but for the size I got they are fine...solid attachment and I'm not worried about them pulling out.Others have also commented that the tray doesn't stay attached...so far mine is holding just fine. I did have to use a "no-bounce" mallet (carefully!) to tap the tray onto the bottom of the board...pressing by hand didn't get it on all the way...maybe that's the problem others have run into? Tapping it into place until fully seated put it on VERY firmly. We'll see if it holds through time and temperature changes...if not, some super glue or silicone caulk will hold it in place for sure.As for magnets, I've found that 1/2" neodymium magnets stick as well as the included ones. That is, they stay where they are put, but due to the layer of glass between the magnet and the metal backing, the hold isn't super strong like you'd get if the magnets where actually on the metal. There's plenty of hold for sticking a sheet of paper to the board, but don't expect to hang your hat on a magnet.I love the ease of erasing this board compared to my old traditional-style white board! No scrubbing, sprays, or smudges left...just one pass with an eraser and gone! Some colors are more visible than others though...which I expected from using other glass boards in the past. Black, blue, purple, and other dark colors show very well. Red a bit less, and green is not as clear if the light isn't good. I've found that the "low odor" markers from Expo are noticeably fainter than the non-"low odor" ones...probably an effect of the different solvent used. I'll be avoiding them for this board in the future.Generally very happy with this board...using it daily to track to-do items for the day.

In searching for a whiteboard to help drag myself through nursing school, I ran across Audio Visual Direct's product. I purchased the largest (8'x4') size and as everyone else has mentioned, it was very easy to install. I will comment that the template sheet was slightly misshapen so make note of which sides are 'true' when marking the holes. Additionally, I didn't trust the screws and drywall anchors to hold the weight of the board, so I broke out the stud finder and swapped some 3 inch T25 construction screws. (The only reason for the 4/5 star rating for adhesion is my internal fear of a 8'x4' sheet of glass/metal being held by 6 drywall anchors; find the studs and sleep at night.)The board is nicer than I imagined and I would say higher quality than the Quartet ones I've seen (and without the cheesy brand name slapped on it for marketing). Worth the premium price in my opinion. A 'you get what you pay for' scenario. As mentioned in the description, only the strong neodymium magnets will work since the glass is thick. I have some markers with magnets on them that will not stick to the board. Not an issue really, but just keep this in mind before you buy the 25 pack of amazon basic magnets with high hopes of using them in conjunction with the AVD board. Board looks very sophisticated and is easy to clean. No unsightly marker smudges.The only issue I had with the whiteboard was due to shipping and seemingly an issue regarding my address being in a rural setting (Wyoming), Amazon's choice of package handlers, and the short staffing of the shipping industry. The "buy in the next 2 hours and get it by ......" promises on Amazon serve as clickbait. At the time it said something like "it'll arrive in 4 days." This turned into 2 weeks while the order was fulfilled. Then the delivery company seemingly misplaced the package, and after numerous calls to CEVA and Amazon, it came 3 weeks after the expected 2 week delivery date. While I don't regret purchasing the board, I will buy directly from Audio Visual Direct in the future. (I think the $5 lower price on Amazon suckered me in.) When I called the company directly regarding the issue they were very accommodating and even offered to refund the purchase and ship a new board using their preferred FedEx route. Great product from a great company! Would buy again, but I'm out of wall space :)
