Bi-Office Notice Board Maya, Blue Felt, Aluminium Frame, 180 x 120 cm

Both sides were bent and heavily scratched, tear on the rear of item. Will return and get a replacement, and keep going until one turns up in perfect condition. I'll update my review in due course.Update 1Replacement arrived extremely bent, tear to rear with a crack running almost the entire width of the board

It looks exactly like the photo, which is good. It looks good. But it is much much thinner than I expected for the price. This is good for transport, and hanging on the wall. It's light, but be careful. When you push standard pins into the board, they do come out of the back so you might damage your walls. The pins shown in the photos are the same to show you how thin it is. The obvious solution is not to push pins so far into the board, but if you want to secure something to the notice board that you don't want to pierce (like a precious photo), you'd use the flat surface of the pin to secure it, which requires the pin to be pushed all the way in. Unless you do some clever balancing with a couple of pins, I guess. I ordered the 120 x 90 cm model and paid just less than £34 which, after seeing the thinness of the final product I would not recommend, unfortunately. And I absolutely would not recommend this for the RRP, nearly £83.

The negativesIt was not well made. Seemed thin and not sturdy.Via delivery it must've got knocked by another parcel which made the board bend and the cardboard style backing rip.Did not have enough packaging on to protect the product during delivery. I've read a few comments on the delivery side of things but took a punt on it.The pin will also go right through as it's not deep enough but don't put pins in all the way and it'll be fine.The positivesThe felt material was good quality and the frame around it was put on wellIt's great if you are on a budget.LightweightFast deliverySent product back and got a refund straight away.I have since spent just £7 more elsewhere, not on amazon for a board and got something much sturdier, heavy and durable.

Perfect for my newly decorated kitchen as I choose the wall colour to match nicely. I wanted a more deserving board than going back to the standard colour cork boards.Once out the packaging, The odour is instant. I presume that is because the backing is recycled cardboard. I had it up within the hour of delivery. And I felt I didn’t smell the packaging after an hour and of course getting rid of the outer packaging helped. I’ve smelt that smell before on cardboard boxes. It won’t last so don’t worry.

Product generally okay for price paid. Simple to install and does job. However they put branded stickers on frame and when you peel them off they leave residue marks. Would be better if they did not use stickers at all as it ruins the products look.
