This is a great chalkboard and looks great as well. You can write with ease and when you use the eraser, it comes right off. When you erase it doesn't leave anything behind like some low quality chalkboards i have used in the past. It is the perfect size for my needs. I absolutely love that the eraser it magnetic and sticks right to the chalkboard to store. My daughter tried to take it to her room when I first got it, so now we need another one!
