This white board is an effective planning tool, especially because it's magnetic. However, the construction is pitiful. The frame around the board barely stayed together long enought to be mounted, and looks as if it was covered with black contact paper (which is all bubbly near the corners). Good luck if you purchase more than one to hang next to each other. They are not symmetrical so they need to be arranged in such a way that they do not appear as crooked as they are. Looks great from a distance.

This board is actually very nice. I read the other reviews and they are both so negative. I have no issues with the black frame. I think it looks nice and have no 'bubbles' anywhere. It is straight and the construction is good. As far as the hardware for hanging, I just stick two thumbtacks in the wall and hang it on those. That's what I've always done to hang pictures. It's easy to move around and no tools necessary - works for me!

I am very satisfied with the product. I actually came to amazon today to purchase another one (the one I have I purchased from a store with a bullseye for a logo)

Purchased 2 of these for my home business for current and next month scheduling. Did not use the screw in hooks just screwed them into the wall from the front using my own screws. Good quality for the price. I also made up little numbers for the days and names for the months out of magnetic inkjet paper.... easy to change the month and days and they stick great. Would have been nice to have gotten a dry erase pen with them.

My main reason for reviewing is that the calendar is slightly different than the photo provided by Amazon. The month and days of the week are labeled in both English and French. Sort of odd, really, and being a minimalist it is somewhat annoying. For example the board reads Month/Mois and Sun/Lun. Other than that I suppose it is functional so I'll be keeping it for organizing family tasks.

This item is not on the quality level of say Pottery Barn but I think the quality is in line with the price. I bought this exact board from a Target store for 12.99. I'm going back today to get a second one so I can plan two months at a time. Maybe this is a better way to buy so you can examine the board for flaws in person before you buy. Hope this helps.

THough this product looks like something I would like I have concluded that it is not worth the pain and I am returning it to the store. I strongly advise you to steer clear. First of all the board will not stick to a magnetic surface. I knew this but some might be fooled. The Board comes instead with a tiny package of the mounting hardware. I am surprised and annoyed that the manufacturer would not attach the hardware beforehand. The screws are TINY Luckily I had a screw set that was small enough (we're talking a jeweler size 0 ) Two problems occurred when trying to attach the mounting, #1 The screw head was stripped and barely could catch the driver and #2 The "holes" the manufacturer put into the wooden frame for you to screw into were not deep enough and so the screws didn't even fit!! I tried with all my might to drive those screws into that frame and all I was able to accomplish was the injury of my hands. Bye Bye Board Dudes.

Very rarely do I ever have an issue with items purchased on Amazon.com, but this time was different. The board that I received was in English and French! The board that was pictured was only in English. The packing of this product was terrible. I could hardly get it out of the box. The box was way too small. Also, when I did get the board out, the corner was completely broken, hopefully from shipping. I would hate to think they sent me a damaged product on purpose.

It's a Nice Magnetic calender BUT it is quite large and my be nailed into the wall. If you were thinking of hanging this one on the fridge (like I was), forget it. It must be nailed into the wall.
