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!

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.

Best thing I could have bought for the grandkid's playroom. Now, when they go to preschool, they will know how to approach and use a chalkboard.

Perfect for the great grandkids they use it all the time. It’s sturdy and can take little ones carrying it all over the house. Only thing I would say is the chalk that comes with it. It’s way too small, not lengthwise but around even while you’re trying to take it out of the package it all breaks up into small pieces and up due on it would be to do a little bit bigger size chalk.

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!

Great little chalkboard comes with great extras would totally buy more for the whole family sturdy chalkboard love that is a good quality chalkboard

Works fine though the method of hanging (hooks) is actually not really stable enough to write on freely. It shifts as you write unless you hold it steady with your off-hand. Some different, more rigid hanging hardware would be smart. Otherwise as advertised.

Bought this for school and it looks great and sturdy in my room. My only complaint which is minor and not worth knocking a star is the chalk. One of the packs of chalk were almost all broken right out the packaging and I don’t really like the quality of the chalk. Doesn’t really bother me since I won’t use colored chalk often and I already have my own brand that I buy. The eraser works well enough and the magnets are useful . Overall I love the board and well worth the money.
