My wife has taken up painting and wanted a place to put her work to review it and learn. We decided a metal board with magnets to hold pictures would do the job. Found this one (she preferred black) and liked that there were large sizes, it is thin, and lightweight. Additionally, it could be used as a wet erase board, though I don't think she'll use it for that. We bought the 3' X 4' version. I was pleased that the description said it did not require wall anchors to hang and found that to be correct. Supposedly the size we bought should only weigh about 12lbs , but it didn't even feel that heavy. I think the listing said the steel was 1/32" thickness which I thought would be about the thickness of a metal street sign, but those are probably closer to 1/16" because they are fairly stiff and don't flex much. At 1/32" and particularly in this larger size, there is considerable flex when handling the product. Because I knew it was thin and large and traveling from Pennsylvania to Seattle; I was concerned it would not make the trip undamaged. It was packaged well and the box did not show any signs of significant damage. When I got it out (more on that later); I notice that one corner had a small 1"-2" "soft"crease. It was not that big and seemed to be the only visible imperfection, so I got a couple blocks of wood with a soft cloth between the wood and the metal and after a few hammer taps was able to smooth it out more, but not completely eliminate it. I probably could have spent more time on it, but like I said it wasn't that big in the first place. When I went to hang it up; I wasn't focused on that corner of the board and ended up putting the creased corner at the top. When the rooms overhead light was on; it became quite noticeable, so I flipped it around and put that corner on the bottom where it would be less noticeable. However, when I did that and stepped back to look at it- that's when I noticed a small 2"-3" "wave" at the edge on the right side about 2/3 from the bottom. Again, not a big deal; but it's there. This is a lot of "going on" about two Very minor issues; but it's why I titled this review "Manage your expectations". This is expensive at over $300 for this size, and while we all want the product to show up in perfect condition; there are limitations on trying to make that happen. I can see the effort the company took to make sure it arrived here as it left there. The box itself is reasonably heavy cardboard and inside it is reinforced with very heavy cardboard "L" to protect the edges. To keep the product from shifting around and stressing the edges or corners; the had an extremely sticky 8" X 12" double side tape that held the center area of the board to one face of the cardboard box. The box itself is about 1" thick. To fill that gap they added soft packaging paper. In spite of their admirable efforts, it still didn't get here completely unscathed. Let me be clear. I don't think the minor imperfections warrant return or replacement. It's just a relatively fragile thing that has to travel a long distance being handled by multiple people and companies. Over all I'm pleased with the purchase. Yes it's expensive, but it's made in the USA, it looks good and my wife is happy with it. In time I'll forget how much we paid. Here is my caution to buyers. If you're getting the larger sizes and it HAS to be perfect- you may need a little luck on your side or be willing to get a replacement which I'm confident this company will gladly do. Also; when your unpacking it-as I stated; the doubled sided tape they use to keep it from shifting in the box is extremely strong and you have to work the product loose from it very slowly and very carefully or you'll risk creating a crease in your board because of the metal flexing. To the company: the screws you supply are wood screws and I suspect that the majority of buyers are installing on drywall where drywall screws would be a better choice although you would not want the "fluted" heads. Not sure if they make flat head drywall screws. Anyway, yours worked good enough so I didn't go looking for different ones.
