Great Value for sleek and modern whiteboard
What's in the box? A well protected sheet of black glass, small box with parts and the aluminum tray (which holds markers) and a single sheet with install instructions.If you are a noob on assembly for products, you may find it challenging to figure out the basic instructions, but I imagine 90% of you that have built a few things can figure it out. For example, they show a simple picture of drilling a hole, but they don't tell you to use a 1/4 " drill bit. I had to figure it out.Assembly is very simple. Take the glass out of the box, hold it onto the wall where you want it (balance a ;eve; on the top to be sure it is straight... and ANOTHER PERSON should draw marks on the wall through the circles in the glass while person #1 holds the glass from moving. This would be tough to do with 1. I imagine you could balance the glass on a night stand carefully ot some other structure that is stable that can go up against the wall.Once your marks are on the wall, the rest goes pretty smoothly. Drill your 1/4" holes, hammer in the molly brackets, screw in the screws (through the metal 'pipes'), place the glass in place where you want it and screw in the end caps. Lastly two small pieces of rubber tape grip the glass at the bottom and you slide on the marker tray to a perfect snug fit. Total install took about 15 minutes.It looks great! Sleek sheet of black glass with 4 metal caps in the corners. It goes with my high-tech theme in my office and I've placed it within reach of my arms while seated in a chair. Easy to scribe notes and to-do's with colored markers (meant for glass).Worth the $43 by a long shot! As long as you are accurate with your marks when holding up the glass (as a template) and drill accurately, it's a perfect fit most anyone can do.

Prep is everything
I am so glad I read the many reviews warning about the installation process!To make up for the lack of a template I used one of the two foam sheets that came with the packaging. With the board on top of the foam sheet I marked the center of the holes on the foam. Critical to be accurate here as there is1/8 inch tolerance. I then hung the foam sheet on the wall with two pieces of painters tape and having levelled it, drilled the holes.I hung the board on my own (Saturday in the office :-). Can be done with a chair to rest the board on and accurately placed hardware. But easier to lift into place with two people.The board looks great! Far more modern than whiteboards. I use liquid chalk pens in nice bright colors. Board wipes perfectly clean - no ghosting.I give it five stars because I'm so happy with the result and avoided the pitfalls of installation thanks to the other reviewers.

Excellent board, installation did take some time
This board looks fantastic! It is glossy and looks like a TV attached to the wall.I read through reviews about the installation and picked up some tips & have one to add (pushpins!). It took much longer than I thought it would and ended up having to put new wall anchors. Definitely use sturdy wall anchors, I ended up with ones that can support 75lb.Here are the steps we ended up taking- Put styrofoam behind board and mark the four holes.- Put marked styrofoam against wall, level, then use a bradawal to mark holes on wall.- Put pushpins in the four holes on wall.- Hover board over the wall and ensure pushpins line up in board holes, adjust pushpins.- Put in bottom two drywall anchors & the two bases.- Put board on bottom two, but don't fasten. Ensure the two top pushpins line up in the top two holes. Adjust pushpins, if needed.- Put in top two drywall anchors & the remaining two bases.- Put board on all four bases, secure with fasteners.Good luck!

Sharp looking. Hanging was fine, but could/should be easier.
I've got this hanging in my home office. Arrived in perfect condition. Box says 2-person carry required, so of course, one person walked it into the house. I read the reviews before buying this, and I broadly agree with the observations that others have made:1) It looks great. The gloss black finish is sharp looking, classy, and understated.2) Bigger is better. I got the 70x35 size, and it fits great on a 75" wall.3) It could really use a template to help with hanging. I'll expand on this point more.... I've hung lots of things, and that's some of the easiest handiwork I've done. I'm truly no stranger to building things, including framing, finishing, and so on. So, this wasn't all that tough, but it would have been easier with a little documentation help that included a paper template that I could tape to the wall. As it was, I spent 30 minutes measuring everything and remeasuring everything prior to mounting. The directions suggest that you use the board itself as a template, but I disagree with that approach because the board is glass, fairly thin, and it would take 3 people to safely do that. I recalled another user's post in which the glass broke, so I handled it as little as possible.But anyway, it's up, and it looks nice. Bought the neon markers for it. Might come back and post a picture.

Demasiado delgado el cristal y se tambalea al escribir. Pero se ve bonito colocado
Más menos.

Very nice, would recommend
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. It look super clean and sleek. Its also a great size. It was a little annoying to install but its so nice that it was worth the extra few minutes and effort to install it. Also super sturdy. We both really like it, if I could go back I would 100% get it again.

Muy buena calidad, hermoso. Ensamblaje entre 2 personas.
Este pizarrón es muy bonito, a mi hija le encantó como pueden ver en la foto. Aquí algunos detalles: el montaje debe ser muuuuuyyyy cuidadoso ya que como es de vidrio, los agujeros que tiene deben ensamblar casi perfecto. Es pesado (yo calculo más de 5 kg), sin embargo queda muy estable luego de montarlo en la pared. Usé los tornillos y taquetes que venían incluidos con el pizarrón y utilicé una broca 3/16. Quedó muy bien, sin embargo, recomiendo que pongan primero los dos tornillos de arriba y ver si ensambla el pintarrón, luego sigan con los otros. Ayudó mucho que mi hija y yo pegáramos el pizarrón en la pared antes de ensamblar y marcamos los agujeros con un lápiz. También antes de usar el taladro, tomé un desarmador (o clavo puede servir) e hice un hoyo pequeño en el centro de los círculos que marcamos para que luego el taladro no se mueva ni un milímetro de donde queremos el agujero, ya que no hay mucho margen de error por ser de vidrio el pizarrón (si lo forzas a que encaje en las cuatro esquinas, podría quebrarse). Por último. El plumón que venía incluido al principio no pintaba, pero mi hija le sacó la punta y la metió por su lado grueso a la base para que se empapara de tinta, ya después la volvió a sacar y la colocó en su posición original (eso ayudó a que se empapara de tinta toda la punta) y ya no hubo problemas. Un desarmador estrella es recomendable para usar, y del tamaño adecuado a la cabeza del tornillo ya que si usas un destornillador (eléctrico), o desarmador estrella muy angosto y puntiagudo, puedes correr el riesgo de que se barra el tornillo y además, el hueco por donde tiene que estar el tornillo dentro de la pieza de montaje que trae el pizarrón, es largo y pequeño, por lo que difícilmente pudiese entrar el destornillador eléctrico hacia dentro de la pieza y apretar el tornillo. No olviden poner los empaque que trae incluidos, ya que si no los pones y aprietas las piezas, podrías quebrar el pizarrón. Finalmente trae 5 tornillos y 5 taquetes de los que sólo usarás 4 de cada uno, asi que tienes margen de perder uno de éstos. Plus: se ve muy bonito sin el portaplumón, sin embargo, hagan la relación funcionalidad/apariencia y decidan uds si lo ponen o no (es fácil de quitar y poner ya que sólo se ocupan de unos adhesivos que vienen incluidos). Otro plus: mi hija tenía unos plumones para vidrio de la marca aquarello que venden aqui en amazon y en office depot y pintan muy bonito. Espero les sea de utilidad.

Muy bonito y muy útil
Lo compré para realizar algunas anotaciones sobre mi trabajo, que no quisiera escribir en algún cuaderno o computadora. Viene con taquetes, tornillos y embellecedores para la instalación, la cuál es un poco complicada por la delicadeza de producto, por lo menos dos personas son necesarias para colocarlo de forma segura sin que puedan ocurrir accidentes.El pizarrón incluye un mercador de color blanco, el cual no dura mucho, recomendaría pedir de una vez otros marcadores para su uso. Cuando se borran las anotaciones, se debe pasar un trapo húmedo para que quede totalmente pulcro, porque de otra forma quedará un poco marcado lo anteriormente escrito en él.Además de ser funcional, es sumamente bonito por el color negro, da un toque de elegancia al espacio en el que se instala.No es magnético, pero hay una versió que sí lo es, yo adquirí esta por cuestiones de precio. En general es un producto recomendado si se necesita un lugar dónde realizar anotaciones visibles y además dar un toque de personalidad al espacio.
