Quartet Magnetic Glass Dry Erase White Board, 48" x 36" Whiteboard, Frameless, Brilliance White High Contrast White Glass (G24836W)

This is a very well made board. My husband loves it for his office.

Listen carefully. This is yourself from the future. Ignore the template that comes with this thing. Call in someone who can hold a bit of weight up on the wall while you mark where you're going to place your anchors.It's a very pretty whiteboard. The instructions read like IKEA steps that came out of your middle school teacher's printer but they work well enough. If your not a complete idiot like me you'll either have some experience mounting things or find someone who does.The tray on the bottom doesn't go all the way across and would be useless if not for the fact that the markers are conveniently not magnetic. An issue I'm going to try to DIY away.Random but I also bought 2 of their erasers. The eraser on the left (#1) is just better I think. Not digging the shape but it sticks by itself and erases pretty well. Other one requires more force to erase actually. Pretty wack purchase. But I do have other whiteboards where it could be more useful.

Use the box to make your template!From one large side of the box, pull back the top tab to open it, which leaves a straight edge along the top side of the box. Cut out the other 3 edges of the side panel. It doesn’t have to be straight because you will use the straight top edge that you didn’t cut to square it up on the wall.Lay the cardboard down and completely remove the foam pieces that are glued to it. A metal spatula or putty knife works great. Lay the glass board face up directly on the cardboard and match up the straight edge of the cardboard with the straight edge of the glass. Use a Sharpie to trace the glass around the other 3 edges and the 6 circle cutouts for the hardware.Find the studs in your wall. A strong magnet will work better than any stud finder. It will stick to the drywall screws under the surface that hold your drywall onto the studs approx 16” apart). Make sure the 2 center holes of your template go into a stud. The other 4 holes did not line up w a stud, so I used my own plastic anchors in those.Tape your template to the wall and use a level to get your top or bottom straight edge straight. Trace the 6 holes on the wall and remove the cardboard. DRILL THE TOP 3 HOLES ONLY!! If you drill all 6 and the bottom 3 are slightly too high, this will cause your board to slightly bow, creating constant pressure on the glass, and a possible explosion. I drilled all 6 holes at once, and after hanging my board by the top, I had to slightly lower the 3 bottom holes even thought they all looked centered, so better to wait until the board is hanging.After drilling your 3 top holes, remove the template from the wall and attach the foam pieces from your box to the wall (the nicer springy foam that was holding your glass). It is too thick as is, so I used a kitchen knife to slice it down to the exact thickness of the hardware that will keep your board away from the wall. If you leave it as is, your board will bow out from the wall. It has to be the exact depth of the H/W.Insert the H/W in the top 3 holes, have a 2nd person help you hang the board on the hardware, and screw in the top 3 screws NOT tightening too tight. Now that the board is hanging, carefully drill the bottom 3 holes straight in the center of each, and attach the hardware, again, not tightening the screws so tight that there is any pressure on the glass.The board is very solid with the foam in the back, and I have no fear of it exploding in our homeschool area as the holes were all drilled correctly, and we did not tug the board right or left to line up with a mis-aligned hole. I am a woman and did this on my own. My son helped for 2 minutes to help me lift the board onto the 3 top hardware pieces and screw in the 3 top screws. It all sounds like a lot, but it is very doable and worth it.We love our board and MAGNETS DO WORK. Purchase a box of neodymiums from Amazon. They are cheap and work very well. I put them inside of these googely eyed microfiber erasers, and they stick incredibly well even through the thick fabric. We bought these magnets and they are awesome. You can stick whatever you want on them to personalize them. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072KDBJWC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1LOVIMAG Super Strong Neodymium Disc Magnets, Powerful Rare Earth Magnets with Double-Sided Adhesive for Fridge, DIY, Building, Scientific, Craft, and Office Magnets - 1.26 inch x 1/8 inch, Pack of 12

Product is incredibly difficult to measure the holes out since there is nearly zero tolerance on the positions.Even when measured out correctly and hung, the wall plus and fasteners came almost immediately out of the wall, they are clearly not able to hold this amount of weight and it was immediately taken off as it was falling off the wall.Incredibly dangerous and unusable please do not buy.

Based on older reviews, it appears that this product used to ship without a template. I received mine on October 25, 2019 and it now comes with a large sheet of paper that you use as a template for mounting on the wall. My only complaint about the template is that it does not have the holes marked off. It's a bit odd for them to give you a "template" that is, in reality, just a really large sheet of paper that you have to place the whiteboard on and mark off the holes yourself. It seems it would be pretty basic and inexpensive for them to print the "template" with the holes already marked off, so you don't have to manually do it. This is a minor complaint.My only other complaint is that the wall anchors that come with this product are really shoddy. Others have complained about them breaking, and I didn't need to attempt installing them to know they would fail. These are the cheapest anchors you can buy; they are made of plastic and easily strip/break if you turn them to hard once you get them in the wall. You also have to pre-drill, which is annoying. I went to Lowes and bought identical anchors made of metal, which require no pre-drilling, and it took all of 10 minutes to create the template, mark the holes on the wall, install the metal anchors, and mount the white board on the stand-offs. You will probably want a second person to help hold the white board up against the stand-offs, because it is pretty heavy.The board looks great. It's high quality and easy to see the markers. It definitely fills the blank space on my office wall with something visually appealing and sleek. I would definitely recommend, even for the price.
