My wife and I put this up in our kitchen next to our coffee area. I love the look, goes perfectly with a country/rustic styled home. It comes with everything you need to start using it chalk/drywall anchors/eraser/etc. The magnetic back is super useful, we already have magnetic clips and things that we put on the refrigerator so using them with the chalk board works out nicely. I couldn't recommend it more, looks great and works exactly as advertised. Love it!
