Audio-Visual Direct Magnetic White Calendar Glass Dry-Erase Board Set - 4' x 3' - Includes Magnets, Hardware & Marker Tray

In searching for a whiteboard to help drag myself through nursing school, I ran across Audio Visual Direct's product. I purchased the largest (8'x4') size and as everyone else has mentioned, it was very easy to install. I will comment that the template sheet was slightly misshapen so make note of which sides are 'true' when marking the holes. Additionally, I didn't trust the screws and drywall anchors to hold the weight of the board, so I broke out the stud finder and swapped some 3 inch T25 construction screws. (The only reason for the 4/5 star rating for adhesion is my internal fear of a 8'x4' sheet of glass/metal being held by 6 drywall anchors; find the studs and sleep at night.) The board is nicer than I imagined and I would say higher quality than the Quartet ones I've seen (and without the cheesy brand name slapped on it for marketing). Worth the premium price in my opinion. A 'you get what you pay for' scenario. As mentioned in the description, only the strong neodymium magnets will work since the glass is thick. I have some markers with magnets on them that will not stick to the board. Not an issue really, but just keep this in mind before you buy the 25 pack of amazon basic magnets with high hopes of using them in conjunction with the AVD board. Board looks very sophisticated and is easy to clean. No unsightly marker smudges. The only issue I had with the whiteboard was due to shipping and seemingly an issue regarding my address being in a rural setting (Wyoming), Amazon's choice of package handlers, and the short staffing of the shipping industry. The "buy in the next 2 hours and get it by ......" promises on Amazon serve as clickbait. At the time it said something like "it'll arrive in 4 days." This turned into 2 weeks while the order was fulfilled. Then the delivery company seemingly misplaced the package, and after numerous calls to CEVA and Amazon, it came 3 weeks after the expected 2 week delivery date. While I don't regret purchasing the board, I will buy directly from Audio Visual Direct in the future. (I think the $5 lower price on Amazon suckered me in.) When I called the company directly regarding the issue they were very accommodating and even offered to refund the purchase and ship a new board using their preferred FedEx route. Great product from a great company! Would buy again, but I'm out of wall space :)

So after reading almost every review, I decided to buy this board. I opted for the standard one since my office walls are painted light blue so the green tint mentioned won't phase me. 1st board came and was completely shattered. It was so bad that the delivery driver got off the truck and told me "I don't think you should accept this delivery", the box could literally bend in half. I refused delivery and got a refund... I was quite disappointed. After getting my office together, it still didn't feel complete so I went out on a limb and purchased this board a second time. To tell you I was a nervous wreck about the shipping would be an understatement. I just knew it would be broken again. I got it yesterday (a day early) and I met the delivery person outside when he was unloading it, to ensure I checked the package. Happy to report, my board was not broken, and it is beautiful! My teenage daughters and I mounted it on the wall yesterday. I am so happy with the results! My board is 4x3, it weighs about 35lbs, it is definitely a 2 man lift. The green tint looks cool against my blue walls, it looks like the wall color is faintly coming through the glass. The quality is impeccable although I see a bit of shadowing from the dry erase markers (I use EXPO brand). The magnets are super strong and holds well on the glass. I got 5 magnets in the box. Mounting: After reading all the reviews and Q&A I was a nervous wreck mounting this. We chose not to trace the holes on the cardboard before mounting. Instead, my daughter and I held the board to the wall, my youngest daughter ensured it was level and used a sharpie to place dots on the wall where we needed to drill. This worked out well for us. I literally only hit 1 stud in 1 corner, the rest of the board is mounted to drywall. I was hesitant about using the hardware in the package, but opted to try it and I am very happy I did. The hardware received with the board worked really well and the board is very secure to the wall. I used a small drill bit to create a starter hole, and tapped the plastic drywall hangars into the holes before attaching the metal cylindrical part. Once the basic hardware is up ...ensure one plastic washer is on the back part of the mounting hardware and save the other plastic washer for the front. The plastic washer is the additional depth needed to ensure that the board doesn't bow out when the board is mounted. Place the foam strips at the back of the board and mount it. The silver cylinder and 1 washer combined is the EXACT width of the foam strips so if your board bows out, it could be due to the washer placement. It took us 30 minuted start to finish to get this up. My board sit's flat, the foam strips are flush against the wall, the board is secure and sturdy. I will definitely order this board again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!! Suggestion for manufacturer: It would be nice to get an eraser with the board so we don't have to buy one separately.

Audio-Visual Direct Magnetic White Glass Dry-Erase Board Set - 36 x 72 Inches First impressions... WOW. Install was a breeze, use two people if you can, but can be done with just one person. The only thing I did different from the directions, is install the foam backing strips while I have it on the template marking the holes. Other than that pretty straight forward. How does it look? It is super professional and a “whiteboard I’m not ashamed of”, let’s face it, white boards are tacky- this is not and looks like it cost a small fortune, in reality it didn’t much (if any) more - worth it! How does it perform? Perform great, easy to write, erases clean and the magnets worked better than expected, based on the negative reviews. I’ve included a picture, using the included magnets, how many sheets of paper a single can hold... spoiler alert, one magnet can easily hold 10 pieces of standard printer paper at one time, when I stacked up 15 sheets I then needed two. Maybe if you don’t buy the magnets that are made of this board it can give you problems, so don’t do that, but honestly this exceeded my expectations! Looks great, easy install (recommend two people for ease), use the recommended markers, eraser and magnets and this performs like a champ and is the best looking “whiteboard” I’ve ever owned. 5-Stars and if I run into issues in the near future I’ll update the review, until then - strong buy.

TLDR: Buy it. Just take your time and be deliberate when you install and you will have no issues. This is just gorgeous. I love whiteboard and have always had them in my offices. I bought this for my home office and it is great. Looks really sharp and professional. I was able to install this by myself. I was not confident about the template, but it worked better than expected. Laid the template in the floor, and the whiteboard on top of the template. I ensured that all of the edges were square, taking extra care to ensure the tops were aligned perfectly. Marked the holes and then put the template on the wall and used my level to ensure it was perfect. Used painter’s tape to secure the template to the wall and then drilled pilot holes. After that it, I just followed the instructions. Installation tips: 1. Do NOT use a drill for the screws, use a hand screwdriver so you don’t over tighten and cause the drywall mounts to spin and loosen. 2. Don’t screw the bolts all the way in. Leave a little excess. When you finally mount the board to the wall and install the end caps, keep turning them and the bolts will fully seat into the mounting brackets. 3. The pen tray was really tight and tough to install. I used a rubber deadblow hammer to nudge the mount onto the glass without breaking anything. The good news is that the tray is not coming off off unless I deliberately take it off.

Perfect. Live the look and easy for me to keep schedule visible

This is a great white board and was fairly easy to install. The white board came undamaged. Board erases easily and seems to be fairly sturdy. I'm expecting many years of continued use and am looking forward to not having the markers stain the surface as they do on other types of white board. The magnets I purchased from this company, Audio-Visual Direct, work great on this whiteboard. Strong enough to hold multiple sheets of paper and they don't slide on the board. One note for the seller on the packaging. After opening, I was pleasantly surprised the white board wasn't broken afer hearing small pieces of something moving around in the box. Turns out 3 out of the 4 plastic corner protectors that were placed on the corners of the glass had been shattered into many pieces. Even with all the notes on the packaged, looks like they did drop it on its corners. Guess they did their job? David Paul

My wife and I were looking for a board that was of high quality and had an easy installation process. Based on the reviews of this product, it definitely had the quality and seemed to have a simple installation process. However, upon opening the product's box, the cut outs for the holes were not aligned with each other. I ended up putting the board up and taking it down multiple times, making numerous holes in my wall just to get it to fit even after making two different templates that were fails... What I would suggest for AVD to do is to create a template with pre-measured hole cut out positions according to where they are on that board. Sadly, all you will receive is the installation kit and a blank template. You're better off using painter's tape and making the template yourself at this point.

I recently installed the Audio-Visual Direct Magnetic Ultra White Glass Dry-Erase Board Set in my office, and it has significantly improved my work environment. The ultra-white glass isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it also offers a flawlessly smooth surface for writing. The markers move smoothly across it, and it's easy to clean, ensuring it remains spotless. However, I deducted a star due to the magnetic feature. The magnet isn't very strong, which means it barely holds anything, including my lightweight magnetic markers. The installation process was straightforward, with all the necessary hardware provided, and the board is firmly mounted on the wall. This board perfectly marries aesthetics with functionality, enhancing both the appearance and productivity of my office space.
