This chalkboard is amazing, It is the perfect size to not be over-bearing while having the optimal amount of space to write/create. It cleans up very easily which was my biggest concern but I have had no issues with that at all. It was very easy to hang and although it looks heavy, it is very manageable. I also love the ustic blue color. It is almost a gray shade in person. This is a perfect addition for a kitchen or office space.
