Great price! We love this board, use it daily (homeschool), it is sturdy, cleans easily and is magnetic.

Just bought one from Target for $18. They had plenty in stock yesterday. They are in the crayola section near the office supplies. Didn't see them near the toys. Good luck!

This is from the company. I did some research &#128077; Joan We do offer replacement boards for $20 including shipping if this interests you. If you would like one, please send me your shipping address, full name, phone # and a Visa or MC # and I will mail it out to you. [You can also mail us a cheque but we would need to wait until it was received to ship the board.] Note: Please keep your tray and brush, as only the board itself will be mailed to you from our beautiful Vancouver BC headquarters.

I think that leapfrog has discontinued their line of magnetic toys - I know the "Fridge Phonics" one is also listed for $100+. Totally insane that anyone would charge that (or that anyone would pay it). I'd check craigslist or eBay for a used one.

Unfortunately, the white on mine has gotten somewhat dirty (I also got a pen mark on it which I could only partly get out right away). I haven't tried to clean it yet, but it seems like it's going to require the old magic eraser if there's any hope of really getting it clean. The pink hard plastic is still very clean, however -- might be wise to get a darker color in the silicon.

I bought this for my grandson, so I'm not actually around when he uses it. I got him dry erase crayons too though because they don't dry out. Sorry, I can't help much. On the plus side, he loves using it.

this one from my experience!! It is a good all around board. and the only update that I recommend is new bearings. I got bones reds on amazon for like 11 bucks!

It actually is an excellent board for the price. It is smooth and quick. I bought for a thirteen year boy on his birthday........broke his arm using it within a week. Good luck!

The liquid chalk markers work great for this board. I used them the whole school year. I also used the plastic covers because the chalk is not weather proof. They clean off easy with water, mild cleaner and a rag.

Hi Nadine, I wouldn't recommend it for teaching. It's a good size for a personal board, but I wouldn't go below about twice the size of this for teaching (I'm a TA at a university and let me tell you: there is no such thing as too big a whiteboard).

yes, I believe it would work like a white board, however Home depot sells MDF coated with white board paint for a fraction of the price. Phenolic is a big deal because it is super stable and perfectly flat. also it is a great insulator for circuit board work. that said I do believe it will work with dry erase markers

It takes it right off assuming it hasn't already been erased once. On a whiteboard you will always end up with some background smears if you don't spray and wipe it often, but the Spray works very well. I have heard Windex does the same though and that may be the cheaper rout.

SUPER HIGH GLOSS. Dry erase boards kind of have to be. Honestly it was a complete disaster for me - glass works so much better. :)

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

It is similar; however, I believe you will experience "ghosting" on this board. I would do a little research and buy the board designed for dry markers. It will probably save you a headache in the long run.

The chalkboard cleans pretty easy with a wet paper towel. The white board is white painted metal so it should last for a while. The one I bought was for my grandchildren and seemed to be holding up well when I visited them about 2 weeks ago. I hope this answers your questions.

You can trim it if you like. I just purchased this for my in home office a few weeks ago, and it erases beautifully. It is a really awesome, low cost alternative to those big lunky whiteboards. They have an instructional video on their website to set it up. It doesn't have a frame of any type, however, and should be careful about erasing around the edges because the marker will get on the wall. I framed it with a thin layer of Painter's Tape for this cause.
