My wife has taken up painting and wanted a place to put her work to review it and learn. We decided a metal board with magnets to hold pictures would do the job. Found this one (she preferred black) and liked that there were large sizes, it is thin, and lightweight. Additionally, it could be used as a wet erase board, though I don't think she'll use it for that. We bought the 3' X 4' version. I was pleased that the description said it did not require wall anchors to hang and found that to be correct. Supposedly the size we bought should only weigh about 12lbs , but it didn't even feel that heavy. I think the listing said the steel was 1/32" thickness which I thought would be about the thickness of a metal street sign, but those are probably closer to 1/16" because they are fairly stiff and don't flex much. At 1/32" and particularly in this larger size, there is considerable flex when handling the product. Because I knew it was thin and large and traveling from Pennsylvania to Seattle; I was concerned it would not make the trip undamaged. It was packaged well and the box did not show any signs of significant damage. When I got it out (more on that later); I notice that one corner had a small 1"-2" "soft"crease. It was not that big and seemed to be the only visible imperfection, so I got a couple blocks of wood with a soft cloth between the wood and the metal and after a few hammer taps was able to smooth it out more, but not completely eliminate it. I probably could have spent more time on it, but like I said it wasn't that big in the first place. When I went to hang it up; I wasn't focused on that corner of the board and ended up putting the creased corner at the top. When the rooms overhead light was on; it became quite noticeable, so I flipped it around and put that corner on the bottom where it would be less noticeable. However, when I did that and stepped back to look at it- that's when I noticed a small 2"-3" "wave" at the edge on the right side about 2/3 from the bottom. Again, not a big deal; but it's there. This is a lot of "going on" about two Very minor issues; but it's why I titled this review "Manage your expectations". This is expensive at over $300 for this size, and while we all want the product to show up in perfect condition; there are limitations on trying to make that happen. I can see the effort the company took to make sure it arrived here as it left there. The box itself is reasonably heavy cardboard and inside it is reinforced with very heavy cardboard "L" to protect the edges. To keep the product from shifting around and stressing the edges or corners; the had an extremely sticky 8" X 12" double side tape that held the center area of the board to one face of the cardboard box. The box itself is about 1" thick. To fill that gap they added soft packaging paper. In spite of their admirable efforts, it still didn't get here completely unscathed. Let me be clear. I don't think the minor imperfections warrant return or replacement. It's just a relatively fragile thing that has to travel a long distance being handled by multiple people and companies. Over all I'm pleased with the purchase. Yes it's expensive, but it's made in the USA, it looks good and my wife is happy with it. In time I'll forget how much we paid. Here is my caution to buyers. If you're getting the larger sizes and it HAS to be perfect- you may need a little luck on your side or be willing to get a replacement which I'm confident this company will gladly do. Also; when your unpacking it-as I stated; the doubled sided tape they use to keep it from shifting in the box is extremely strong and you have to work the product loose from it very slowly and very carefully or you'll risk creating a crease in your board because of the metal flexing. To the company: the screws you supply are wood screws and I suspect that the majority of buyers are installing on drywall where drywall screws would be a better choice although you would not want the "fluted" heads. Not sure if they make flat head drywall screws. Anyway, yours worked good enough so I didn't go looking for different ones.

There is a company adhesive on the product that is very difficult to remove. With a hairdryer, it will take me 2-3 hours to get it off. It tears each time you start a “run”. Very disappointed as the product is nice but I am wasting a Saturday morning on taking off their sticker off their productI don’t recall every writing a review like this. They could have duct taped it on and it would be a lot easier to remove. If there were instructions as to a solvent to use, I didn’t see them and I don’t want to hurt the board, as it is nice.The reason for my one star “value” rating is I would cheerfully pay extra to not have to peel off the paper.

I needed a message board for the office. I read the reviews, some positive some negative. I decided to purchase it because there were more positive reviews. It arrived on time and was packaged well. It is thin and light-weight so it took two of us to handle it because we didn't want to bend and damage it. It was easy to hang, however, we didn't use the adhesive or magnets that came with it. That was some of the complaints in the reviews. The magnetics weren't strong enough. We used gorilla double sided tape to hang it and we purchased colorful magnets that are very strong. Since it's stainless steal, fingerprints and smudges show up but I used alcohol pads to remove them and it looks great. You could fit about 6 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of paper on it and have room in between with no problem. Overall, we're very pleased with the board. I recommend it, however, be mindful of the two issues that I've identified.

Got the 24x48 stainless & I love it! Exactly as described; easy to unpack (no backing as others described, so maybe the company changed the shipping method); Board was easy to hang by myself with a level, screwdriver & a drill. Time will tell if drywall anchors were actually needed but for now, it’s holding well. Magnets stick & it looks great! Very happy with the purchase & will get another one to put up beside it.

In addition to the product being flimsy, my poor rating is due to the item arriving damaged. The packaging is solid and in perfect condition. However, one corner and the center edge of the board are severely bent. Both areas of damage are at mounting holes preventing holes from being used or being rebent. My poor rating is based on being sent a damaged product (based on undamaged packaging). I am leaving an immediate response and rating and will edit depending on the actions of the seller.UPDATED REVIEW: Above is my initial experience with DLDirect's product. I reached out to customer service and there response and action was as follows:"We are a customer-centric company and we go above and beyond for our customer's satisfaction. We will be sending out a replacement soon and you do not need to send the board back. Please keep it as a gift from us to make up for the inconvenience caused."DLDirects customer service, in particular Rachel, has helped to maintain a customer for the long haul. As a result, when placing any future orders I will return to them first.Thank You Rachel!!
