Such a pretty chalkboard - not at all like your "traditional" chalkboards - the frame is a pretty blue and has a rustic feel to it.  It looks so pretty on the wall - like a picture frame.  It also came with a box of chalk, an eraser, screws and even a level and a thank you card!!! The eraser has a magnet so it stays on the blackboard. Its really a great value. My kids love it.
