Question 1

Is the entire surface of this whiteboard truly magnetic for holding up notes and photos?**

Accepted Answer

While marketed as a magnetic board, the primary surface has a very low magnetic strength. Based on user feedback, it's best suited for lightweight magnetic dots or strips used for dividing lines. Standard fridge magnets or heavier items will likely not hold securely. If a strong magnetic surface is your top priority, you may want to consider a dedicated porcelain steel board.

Question 2

How do you securely mount this board? Are the included supplies enough?**

Accepted Answer

The board includes adhesive strips for mounting. However, many customers—especially in home office setups—recommend using additional hardware for a secure hold, given the board's size and weight. For drywall, using the included strips with the provided anchors is a good start, but for absolute peace of mind, some users opt for their own drywall anchors or screws. The frame has a keyhole slot on the back for a nail or screw head if you prefer a non-adhesive method.

Question 3

How durable is the cork section? I'm worried about it tearing.**

Accepted Answer

The cork board is functional for standard pushpins and notes. Some users have noted it is on the softer side, so removing and repositioning pins frequently can leave small holes. For light to moderate use (like displaying photos, reminders, or tickets), it holds up well. For heavy, daily pin changes, the surface may show wear over time.

Question 4

The dimensions say 36"x24" – does that include the gold frame?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 36"x24" measurement refers to the total outer dimensions, including the stylish gold-finish frame. The actual writable whiteboard and usable cork area are slightly smaller to accommodate the frame. It's widely praised as a perfect, versatile size for spaces above a desk, in a kitchen, or in a dorm room.

Question 5

What happens if dry-erase marker is left on for a long time? Does it stain?**

Accepted Answer

The whiteboard surface erases cleanly with normal daily or weekly use. However, like many dry-erase boards, if ink is left on for several weeks or months, some "ghosting" (faint marks) can occur. This is not a permanent stain. Users report that a quick clean with a dedicated whiteboard cleaner or a small amount of isopropyl alcohol easily removes any leftover residue and restores the surface.
