This is a super sturdy chalkboard/bulletin board.  It is pretty heavy, so we bought some sturdy hangers from Lowe's, and it's been fine.  I've never tried anything heavy on it, but it works great for holding mail in the little bucket, keys, hats, dog leash, etc on the hooks.  I was also worried it would look a little juvenile or like it belonged in a dorm room, but it looks great.  Would definitely purchase again.
