I bought this for my wall instead of a dry erase board. It works very well and was the easiest thing to put on as it required no tools. :-) I did however, choose not to use chalk even though it works as I want it to last longer. Instead, I use the Expo Bright Sticks which, wipe right off when wet. This way, I can color code, write smaller to optimize space and preserve its surface.

This product totally exceeded my expectations. It sticks very well and yet is very easily removed. It is also (and this is what surprised me) very easy to write on with chalk - I mean that the chalk is very clear and legible, easy to write and easy to see. I was worried that the stickers would be too small, but they are not - they are large. One package takes up about half of the upper portion of one wall in my sons' room. But of course you are free to take up as much or as little of space as you want by spreading it out or not spreading it out. But just so you know, the stickers themselves are pretty large. The decoration is very cute and atypical and fun. I get regular compliments on this. Most importantly, I suppose, is that my 2 boys (ages 2 and 3, but good for older kids too I'm sure) LOVE to "draw on the airplanes" and on the clouds. Oh, and last point - the chalk wipes off extremely easy with no trouble whatsoever. The chalk also comes off the wall around the decals very easily with a little bit of water. I definitely recommend this product.

Oh, p.s. - when it arrived, the stickers had creases from being bent in the package (which worried me at first), but when the stickers adhere to the wall, the crease marks disappear completely (much to my relief).

It fell off one wall. Put on back of door. It does not look good any where I put it. Great idea, but I would not recommend it with any of your decor in a nice looking house. The seller needs to side-sell the kind of chalk they included in the package, so the buyers can get more of that chalk. Other chalk will not work on it.

I bought this after stumbling across it just days before heading to the hardware store to buy chalkboard paint for my mudroom wall right outside a walk-in pantry. We wanted a message center in the mudroom and a place to quickly write down items for our next shopping trip without the bulk of hanging a framed chalkboard. I saw this and figured it couldn't hurt to just try it out. Boy are we glad we did. This is a very sizable chalkboard space (they come in varying sizes to fit your needs) and it went up in about 15 seconds. I smoothed it out with my hand and waited for it to fall off. It never budged! It has been a month now and it hasn't so much as shown a ripple or a corner lifting from the wall. This thing stays put! I took the advice of another reviewer and bought the somewhat expensive Expo liquid chalk pens. I would HIGHLY recommend you do the same for a few reasons. 1) They show up better than regular chalk in my opinion 2) There are various colors and they're very bright so they stand out better than chalk would 3) No dusty chalk residue to clean up from the floor or our hands. 4) They wipe completely clean with a damp paper towel followed by a dry one and the chalkboard surface looks as good as new when you're done. 5) They're easier to write with than chalk -- much like a dry erase pen. This chalk board surface looks great on the yellow walls in my mudroom and has given my mudroom the look of a room straight off the pages of a Pottery Barn catalog. All this at a fraction of the price and trouble of hanging a heavy framed chalk board or painting the wall with chalkboard paint. It has helped organize our lives to boot. I would have paid twice what they're asking for this item. You will LOVE this product.

I read a bunch of the reviews posted here before buying this product. But I placed this on my kitchen cabinet door, so the surface was clean, hard and smooth, and the chalkboard works perfectly! Don't know what it's like to put on walls, but put it over laminate and it looks really good! It's definitely repositionable, too -- I put it down and peeled it back several times and there was no stickiness or damage at all. It looks so good, my wife and I are thinking about covering over more of the old kitchen cabinet doors with colored vinyl sheeting as a way of doing a cheap makeover of the kitchen.

Edited: Well, I guess I didn't read the reviews quite carefully enough. I just read another review that said you have to use the chalk that comes in the packaging. I didn't believe that, and I'm a teacher, so I just tried some chalk I use at work. It showed up very clearly, but it's definitely denser chalk, and now it looks like it's scratched the vinyl. That's a bummer, because there are tiny white marks that won't come out. I'm waiting on a chalk pen to arrive in the mail -- maybe that will work well. I mean, what happens when we run out of the chalk that's included? Still a good decorating concept though!

The peel & stick board is a great idea and sets up very easily. If they had indicated you need special chalk and sold it with the board I would have purchased and probably been thrilled. I bought this for the grandkids to use at Thanksgiving and discovered (too late) that the only chalk which seemed to work properly was theirs. They include 2 small white pieces. I had purchased other colored chalk, however I found it would not mark easily on the board. Definitely a dissapointment.

I was so impressed with the House and Tree Wallies when I recieved them! I have a 3x3 foot space in my playroom where I put these and it fit really well! Bigger than I expected! I like the fact that you can reposition them since I had to do that a couple times to get everything to fit and they reapplied pretty well.
Although I love that they are easy to reapply, it also made it very easy for my 3 kids to peel them off! I have a 3 yr old and twin 22 mth olds and they have peeled these off enough times to ruin them at this point. I was really disappointed these didn't last longer at our house. I might just get the chalkboard paint so they can't really peel it off. All in all, these wallies are adorable but I would recommend these for a little bit older kids.

What you see is what you get. Our walls are bumpy, so the chalk writing looks bumpy too, not the fault of the product- but heads up to you if you have bumpy walls as well! Also have had it on the fridge, looks great.

This is and excellent chalk board. we use it in our kitchen to see who is next for beer pong. Not expensive either and wipes clean easily.

I ordered the wallie chalkboard decal and was so excited to receive it, but when it arrived there was no chalk ( the packaging states that chalk is incuded). From all the reviews I read, only the Wallie chalk will work on the board. I am very dissappointed and so is my 5 year old daughter, who has been anxiously awaiting the chalkboard decal.
