Sleek look and lightweight
Pros:<br />Sleek Look<br />Handmade<br />Lightweight<br />Easy to hang by yourself<br />Free Marker included<br />Wet & Dry Erase Markers Work<br /><br />Cons:<br />Shadowing from pens<br />Wood frame came damaged<br />No included hardware<br />Pricey<br /><br />I’ve been eyeing this Wall Calendar for a while now. I initially bought a cheaper, smaller wall calendar, but I quickly found that it wouldn’t work for me. I finally pulled the trigger and got this. I’m so glad I did!<br /><br />This is much better quality, and looks perfect in my home office. Now, this isn’t your traditional white board. This has an acrylic or plastic front to it. There are 2 sides, a matte finish side, and glossy side. The matte side is made for wet erase markers and the glossy side is for dry erase. It comes with the matte finish side face up, however they include instructions on how to flip it to the glossy side. I’m keeping mine on the matte finish side. It has a smooth, silky feel to it, and is non glare. Which is perfect for me since I do a lot of filming in my office. Now, because the top is raised from the calendar, I have noticed that the ink does cause shadowing. It’s not as noticeable when the light is dim, but if light is shining right on it then you might see double. This really doesn’t bother me much, but thought I’d mention. They also included a FREE purple chalk pen with mine. How did they know my fav color is purple? I love it!!<br /><br />I also love that this is handmade in the USA, and not mass produced. I’m always looking to support local businesses even if it’s a little pricier. I was also pleasantly surprised that this shipped out quickly. The quality and care put into the packaging was nice, however when I opened mine I noticed that the bottom of the frame was dented. I’m not sure if it was packaged with the dent or if it happened in transition. The frame is super soft, so it’s possible it happened from one of the straps on the box.<br /><br />My favorite part though is that stickers, washi and sticky notes work perfectly with this!! They stick nicely and remove just as easily. To be honest…. this calendar might be full of stickers by the time 2023 starts, lol!<br /><br />Overall, My only complaint and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the dented frame. I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but it is disappointing. However, I love everything else about this calendar. It’s super sleek looking and such a nice addition to my office. It is now my main command center.<br /><br />I’ve included a few pictures. Hope you found my comments and photos helpful.
