Planning Board Magnetic Dry Erase, 1" x 2" Grid Planner with Aluminum Frame, 48" x 72", Gold

I have three kids, ages 6, 10 and 11. I have each of their names on the board and "to do" and "completed" under their names. They know they have to complete each item before they have free time. They can scoot the items from the "to do" list to the "completed" list on their own, which they love. It is great because they can get started on their to-do list before I am even out of bed if they are feeling very motivated. Then after free time, I make a new to-do list for each of them. Works out great for everyone.

We use this at our business for keeping lists of to dos at our desk. Magnet feature is nice as it allows you to put a note or other item related to lis5 on the board.

This is one of the worst items I have ever seen. The box was taped together from several different boxes, and the back of the board was stuck to tape where the cardboard did not cover. The box was barely holding itself together by tape. Heavily damaged because of this. However the product itself is even worse. Missing one of the metal frame rails was just barely the start. The white board is a thin piece of plastic backed by many layers of some sort of fibrous material, which then had a white piece of paper glued onto it - and over that a layer of silver film. (Most of which came off on the tape in the box. This is a horrible product for the price charged. Do not buy

Pros: Well built. A quality product. A piece arrived broken and MasterVision sent me a new price without question. Con's: Maybe a bit high priced, but then you get what you pay for (so not really a con). Conclusion: Sleek. Looks good on the wall of my home office. Works great. Magnets hold firm. Surface works great for erasable markers.

Great board except it areivw damaged. It was packaged in a thinner box with a thin layer of cushion which didn’t protect pur board enough. There is a large eyesore dent on the bottom left which probably makes that block unusable with some of the magnetic tools I purchased to go with this board to track construction progress. The box was not damaged on delivery at all. I now cannot return the board because I have a new hire starting Monday morning 5/21 who will need it immediately. So I’m stuck with a damaged product. Good board but please rethink your packaging for this item. Thicker styrofoam surrounding it is necessary.

I ordered three of these and two out of three were damaged. Now I'm having a problem returning the one we can't use.

This board itself seems pretty good for the price. I bought the 24" x 36" version. I took off one star for the very nitpicky reasons below: - The pen tray can only be attached to the long edges. So, if you mount it vertically, you'll need another pen storage solution. Perhaps magnetic pen holders? - The included wall anchors are particularly flimsy. They'll certainly hold the board on a normal drywall wall once installed. They're #6 plastic anchors, so you'll need to drill a 3/8" hole. That will be a tight fit, as it should be. The problem is that when inserting the anchors, you'll need to be very careful to press directly perpendicular to the wall. Any lateral force will cause the anchors to bend and snap. If you've ever installed cheap plastic anchors, you've likely run into this scenario. For a few cents more they could have included much more robust #6 anchors that don't bend nearly as easily. - The included mounting screws are Pozi-drive, not Phillips. Pozi-drive screws really are better than Phillips if you have an appropriate screwdriver or bit. Most buying this board in the US have never heard of Pozi-drive, and will likely just use a Phillips screwdriver. Many of them will be more frustrated than usual with the excessive cam-out. I wouldn't consider this a liability if the small screws for the pen tray end caps were also Pozi-drive, I'd just assume it was intended for the European market. However, they're Phillips, and are quite small. You'll need a small (#1?) Phillips, but with a sizable handle for torque. You're cutting threads into thin aluminum and plastic, so a standard/cheap jeweler's screwdriver may not provide enough leverage.

I use the whiteboard in my dog boarding kennel to schedule walk and playtimes. I use whiteboard tape to make my vertical lines. Nice quality board.

Arrived damaged, expected grid, received horizontal lined. Otherwise great product.
