It was impossible to find a chalk board eraser at local stores. This one is well made, appears to be durable (we've had it for a few months), and works great!

It's a nice eraser, but I found that 1 eraser was not enough for 2 kids. While out, I found erasers in the dry erase board section along with markers, etc. for only 89 cents and it works just as well on chalkboards. I have had both for 5 years and I can't say that we favor one over the other, so, if you really can't find an eraser out, this one is fine, but otherwise, save your money.

It erases chalk perfectly on a real chalk board, but not so well on the chalk board paint. It's a nice eraser.

Just what I was expecting and needing for my whiteboard. I didn't realize that it was the same as the chalkboard eraser. It works for either surface.

It's an eraser... actually a seemingly well made one. I have only had it for a few weeks but it appears to have the potential to hold up well.

This product is really good if, instead of erasing chalk, you'd prefer to spread it around your chalk board creating neat swirly patterns.

Was looking for a chalkboard eraser to use on our chalkboard-painted wall. Was surprised to find it was so hard to find chalkboard-specific erasers (not a dry-marker eraser). Apparently this eraser can be used for chalk and dry-erase markers, but I find that it does a pretty good job erasing chalk. I started with a Rose Art eraser, which pretty much smeared the chalk, while the Melissa & Doug eraser seems to "pick-up" the chalk a bit more. I was hoping for a more grooved eraser-this one is a flush felt marker that has rows of felt glued to the wood handle (it's not like a traditional dry-marker eraser with one "carpet" layer of felt), which must account for its ability to "lift" the chalk off the board rather than just smearing it around. Anyway, if you have painted a wall in your house with chalkboard paint (specifically a drywall wall), this will work a lot better than the Rose Art eraser, but you'll still need to wet-wipe your board at the end of the day.

My daughter had been looking for a "real" chalkboard eraser for our grandson and kept finding same of not-good quality. Finally, I came across this on Amazon and she's so pleased to have a good-quality eraser that will last.

I needed an eraser for the religious education class I teach as the one that was there left more chalk on the board than it erased. I looked at different ones at the stores and they usually came with whiteboard markers. I was not sure if they would work with a blackboard as well. They all looked a little funny to me, not the way an eraser is supposed to look. I finally looked through Amazon and found this one. Now first off what attracted me was it was a "Melissa & Doug" product. I love these guys! I remember when they first came out and I would buy their puzzles for my sons. My boys loved those puzzles more than any of the other ones. They would carry them around with them through the house, sit them on the ground when they went potty (toddlers) and then pick them up and take them to lunch, dinner and I am surprised they did not want to even sleep with them! Melissa and Doug really know what kids (and moms!) like! So that was a big draw. Then I read the description and it said it could be used on a blackboard and on a whiteboard. The top of it was pretty made out of wood with their names on it. I grabbed it up! When I had it at school, all my "cool" 5th and 6th grade kids suddenly became little kids again when they discovered that eraser! It was hard to control the class when they all were begging me to be the one to erase the board at the end of class! I finally let them play hangman on the board (religious hangman, of course!) and they all got a turn at using my new chalk and my new Melissa and Doug eraser. The boys in particular seemed to really like it. Maybe the wood? Good job Melissa and Doug! Keep up great ideas cuz theres to many of us moms and kids out here who will not let you quit! Oh, by the way, the eraser works like a charm. Better than any eraser I have ever used and even when it had erased stuff several times it was still not leaving "chalk streaks" on the board! Good investment on my part!

I have purchased many of Melissa and Doug's products since my daughter was born in 2006. This chalk brush I am not very impressed with. It doesn't take the chalk off the board all that well. It leaves behind an image of what you have written/drawn on the board and the chalk seems to fall more on the ground than it does stick in the brush. Maybe these issues are because it is new but I don't ever remember having to 'break in' a chalk brush. At this point I can't say I would recommend this product.
