Chalkboard Set - Small Black Board 15 x 12 in with 1 Magnetic Chalk Eraser, 14 Chalk Sticks (7 Colors) and 2 Magnets - Mini Hanging Wall Message Sign Blackboard for Home and Office (15x12)

Recently I starting taking care of a little girl in my home and I wanted to find a sturdy chalkboard that was also magnetic. I wanted to help teach her the ABCs and was looking for a magnetic chalkboard so that I could give her some magnetic letters that she could attach to the board as I would tell her what each letter was. I also wanted a chalkboard so that I could help her learn to draw the letters of the alphabet with the chalk, as well as draw smiley faces, dogs, cats, etc.. Personally I feel this chalkboard is priced a little too high, but other than that, I am very pleased with my purchase! This chalkboard by Navy Penguin has a nice, sturdy, heavy aluminum frame and it has smooth rounded edges. It's nice that there is a built in ledge to keep the pieces of chalk on, and the fact that the eraser is also magnetic, should hopefully mean that the eraser will not disappear very easily! I also like the fact that the hooks are movable so that you can adjust the hanging distance. FYI: In case you're interested in purchasing this well made chalkboard, please know that it must be mounted to your wall and does not adhere to a metal surface with magnets. Please also note that in spite of the fact that the description says that this chalkboard set "contains 14 colored crayons," they are not crayons, but instead they are 14 pieces of chalk. A few of the pieces of chalk were slightly cracked, but I was going to crack them in half any how because they were too big for her little hand in their full size form. This chalkboard is the perfect size (24x18 in.), and as long as you remove the protective plastic covering using a razor blade along the seams of the chalkboard, the chalk writes very easily on the board as you can see from my photo for this review. Thank you, Navy Penguin, for a nice quality chalkboard!

This chalkboard can be used straight out of the box, no seasoning needed. I tested a small area with the white chalk provided with the board, and the texture was smooth and “just right.” No squeaking chalk. I erased number two on the list to test for ghosting. The chalk came off easily. Hard to explain, but if you loved chalkboards as a child, this will take you back.

Nice good old fashioned chalk board.

Chalkboard is well made. The hangars on the top are adjustable for mounting width as they can slide along the frame. The hooks are triangle shaped with a generous sized opening that allowed it to pass the head of a drywall screw without issue. I could level and set the screws, then hang the chalkboard up without having to worry if they were spaced correctly. The chalkboard itself is lightweight but still substantial enough that it doesn't move or wiggle when I write across it. The chalk tray is adjustable and can slide to either side. It tilts at an upward angle towards the board to help keep objects from falling off, and has a small lip on the front edge as well. The chalkboard surface is magnetic and can hold the eraser which itself has a magnet on the handle. Included in the kit are two small magnets which can be used to hold thin papers to the board if needed. Included are two individually wrapped packages of chalk each with a stick of blue, white, red, green, yellow, orange, and violet. The chalk writes nicely on the board but the sticks I used broke in half easily when I gripped them to write. A non-issue honestly, and I blame my rather large hands for this. Each half-piece was sturdy and I could write without trouble.

Perfect chalk board suitable for any age. Chalk board is lightweight and magnetic. The tray is large enough to house 8+ pieces of chalk. I love the fact that the eraser is magnetic and stays in place on the board. The chalk board itself is of sturdy design and easy to install with its attached hooks for hanging. Great product, great price!

Perfect medium size and Includes colored chalk, chalkboard ledge, magnets and even a magnetic eraser! Everything you need to help with Algebra review and listing elements of Periodic Table! Very practical for students of all ages. And useful for grocery lists and little artists, too... Highly recommend this easy-to-use, hang, and clean blackboard.

Cute, but most of the chalk arrived broken.
