Quartet Glass Whiteboard, Magnetic Dry Erase White Board, 3' x 2', White Surface, Infinity (G3624W)

Great looking boards, except that my 24x18" arrived with a few easthetical glitches (some white paint missing in spots on the bottom left side and one of the screw caps from the mounting hardware had corrosion/burns spots on), but Amazon solved the issue quickly. As for the 3x2', it arrived in perfect condition. I love the look of this board and the size is great for my home office. It was pretty easy to install (they recommend doing it with another person and understandably considering that it is in glass and pretty heavy, but I nonetheless was able to install it on my own from A to Z, using drywall anchors to be safer instead of using Quartet's supplied hardware. It is sturdy and nicely manufactured. The only downside is that NO other magnet than the ultra strong magnets suggested by Quartet seem to work on this glass board. :(

Las medidas reales son 90x60 cm. El material es de buena calidad. Se necesitan de dos personas para colocarlo. También necesitas taladro y si lo vas a colocar en concreto tienes comprar tus taquetes porque el pizarrón viene con taquetes expansivos. Para notas o escribir algo pequeño está bien pero para dar clases en línea no es muy adecuado porque es muy pequeño y refleja mucho la luz.

I recently bought and installed this whiteboard, and I wanted to provide some feedback on some apparent improvements Quartet has made for customers. First, Quartet provided a large "template" sheet for marking hole locations. I say "template" because it doesn't have preset mark points. You still have to lay the whiteboard over the paper and mark the centers. Special note, when marking the center, the true center, use additional lighting to cancel out the shadows. This is a recess, so light from a side will cast a shadow and make it look like center is in a different place. Even a phone LED camera light will do well for mobile lighting to find the actual center. I marked my holes and taped the big paper to the wall. I used nothing else to align or check fitment and just YOLOed it. When you tape, make sure you spend the time to level it and have it nice and flat. I taped the 4 corners plus the 4 centers and made small adjustments until I was happy. I drilled 7/32" holes through the paper, then removed the paper, and installed the drywall anchors provided. Two, the drywall anchors appear to be improved. These are the same style but appear to be a heavier duty version, metal I believe. Past reviews showed white plastic anchors. Mine were silver and appeared to be a cast metal of the same "screw" style of anchor. It went in well, no complaints. Three, there were complaints about the threads being bad. Quartet shipped the mounting hardware threaded together. I don't know if this is how it's normally shipped, but this choice does mean someone is hand threading and checking the threads during final assembly. This might be a choice to self QC these parts by forcing pre-assembly at the factory. When I got my parts, I had to unthread the two metal halves. The threads seemed good and worked fine with no anti-seize required. Final thoughts So how'd I do? Well, I just went for it just to see how things would turn out. It turned out good. Everything aligned well, assembled easy, and I can't really complain. It was not a hard one person job and all of 10 minutes of work. It probably took longer to unpackage than install, and the only thing that took time was taking some care to mark the true centers and to lay the big paper on the wall well. Alignment options Let's say you mess up a little bit. What are your options for alignment? There is a small amount of wiggle room in two places. There is some wiggle room in the hole for the small, long screw going into the drywall anchor. You should be able to loosen this and move the metal cylinder part around a small amount side to side to gain a small amount of extra clearance if needed. It's not a lot of play, but it's some. There's also a little bit of wiggle room in the hole of the whiteboard, so the whiteboard does have a little play in the design. Combined, it might be able to compensate + or - 1/8" or so. For the most part, just take your time marking the center well and use a secondary light source that you can move around. This will probably take care of most of the fitment problems people have. Also spend time getting the paper nice and flat, both underneath the whiteboard when initially marking centers and when taped on the wall. Take a little time at both these steps, and you should be golden. Even for me not really taking any additional steps, I was probably within a 1/16" of center to center between the worst two holes (bottom left, top right) for alignment relative to each other's ideal. Is the whiteboard any good? Yea. It's got a metal back for magnets, but the magnets need to be strong to also have enough strength through the layer of glass. Magnetic strength drops off fast relative to distance away, so layer of glass means powerful magnets are needed. As long as you're aware of that, great. The stock Quartet stuff works good. If you get aftermarket magnets, just look for higher strength stuff. That's it. The glass is of course nice to write on, so it's too functions well. It's hard to complain about a glass surface, aka why I bought this one. The slight 3D effect from the glass layer and the white backing is neat/interesting. Good or bad? I don't know. The whiteboard still functions well. The hardware that came with the whiteboard is certainly decent enough for the price point. I would not expect more, so it's perfectly acceptable for the price and ultimately looks good and a little upscale. The packaging is ok. There was plenty of use of foam on all sides and in the corners. The glass whiteboard arrived in good shape. I can't say if it'd ever take a real fall or toss, but the outer carton is clearly labeled "glass," so hopefully it's handled well enough. Mine was. Nothing was missing on arrival. Instructions were simple enough to follow and had enough information to where I was not questioning anything. I'm a poor use case though. I'm already pretty handy, so this is kind of eyes closed stuff for me. But the key bits of information like what drill bit size was readily found in seconds. No complaints.

So originally I purchased a black 3x2 board from Staples, since they listed an earlier delivery date than Amazon.ca, but after multiple emails to customer service I got the board a month after the Amazon board would've been delivered. (Lesson learned, Amazon has delivery and customer service figured out far better than others). Black board: basically only able to use liquid chalk or Sharpie water based paint markers in light colors that get washed out by any glare or reflections. You have to really clean the board to remove residue from these kinds of markers or they will leave cloudy streaks. They look better than classic white board markers, but there is no simply wiping the marker off the board. Works good for semi permanent or permanent markings like weekly/monthly checklists etc. After deciding legibility was important and tired of anything written on the black board being completely washed out by glare I ordered a white version 3x2 board... Then I realized, I could probably strip the black paint off and frost the back with a can of frosted spray paint. The back metal sheet is held on by double sided tape, easily removed with 99% alcohol to dissolve the glue and a putty knife slowly slid underneath. The Black is indeed a layer of paint that can be scraped off with the help of paint stripper. After removing the paint from the back, I found that there was overspray on the front of the board which needed to be removed with a bit of scraping. After taping off the edges, and spraying a couple coats of paint, it looked really great, although no longer magnetic. Frosted Board (home made): looks really nice. Markers are legible. If I did it again I would tape off an inch of the back all around the circumference of the board, giving it a clear frame which would make it look amazing. White Board: probably looks the best. The white backing makes markers the most legible, although you can see the double sided tape used to hold on the sheet metal on the back. Markers: liquid chalk and Sharpie Paint Markers look the best and are the most legible. I find bullet tips produce an even line instead of the uneven lines of chisel tips. Chisel tips make all writing look terrible. These markers do require work to clean off the board though (scraping and wiping). Just a warning, the Sharpie Paint markers come in water based and oil based. The oil is REALLY hard to clean off, but would work well for a permanent calendar template. Classic whiteboard markers will work on the frosted and white boards, with darker colors being better and some lighter colors being almost invisible. And wipe right off like on other whiteboards. Installing: I made a template out of paper, but if possible just tape the posts to the board and have someone hold it in place while you drill it inplace. There is VERY LITTLE forgiveness or wiggle room. Also the posts you attach to the wall are female, so you can't just put the board up and screw the caps on, you have to hold the board in place and screw the male caps through the board... he install process and hardware needs a rethink. There has to be a better way. The 3x2 board does line up with wall studs perfectly, so that's nice. Conclusion: while nice and elegant looking, I'm not convinced a board and some blackboard paint wouldn't have been better. The magnets just ok. I don't use mine. Avoid the black since glare is a pretty big problem. I use a t-square with self adhesive rubber bumpers to keep the ruler off the surface to avoid bleed from the wet markers. Felt bumpers would work as well.

I purchased one of these from the Amazon warehouse at ~$83. Fantastic white board - looks sleek, stylish, and is well built. As mentioned in a few other reviews, I'd recommend you not use the provided mounting screws if possible, though I'm sure it'd be fine if those are your only option. Definitely a two person job setting this up if you want it to be fully level, though I was impatient and decided to take on the task myself haha Not much else to say, it's a lot better than he previous white board that I had. No problems with materials bubbling, or the boarding banging against the wall when you write due to ineffective mounting mechanisms. This mounts very securely, no flex at all, and the included pen tray is a nice addition. Actually comes with a black Quartet whiteboard marker which wasn't mentioned in the listing!
