U Brands Glass Whiteboard 36" x 48", Frameless White Frosted Dry Erase Board, Wall Mounted for Office, Home, and Classroom, Includes Marker

I work from home and part of my work is presenting design solutions over the web. Sometimes, that work is presenting live whiteboard solutions. Most whiteboards are horrible, flimsy and ugly. They also have a reflectivity that results in glare on camera, which you just don’t expect and wind up having to compensate for with lighting and umbrellas. So, a glass board with the right lighting can surprise you. First, they’re reasonably light. I don’t recommend doing a one-person installation. That’s what I did and wound up with a 2 degree offset on the installation which annoys me and I’ll wind up fixing it. Go two-person, use a carpenter’s level and be happy. On camera, this has a great soft look. Make sure to use markers designed for a glass whiteboard and not a regular whiteboard or you’ll work a bit harder to keep it clean. Microfiber cloths clean this really well. Green markers don’t show up as well on camera. The mount system is actually very good. What you’ll likely find useful is to make a template on paper. What I mean by that is to lay out a grid of copy paper on a table and tape them all together. Lay the board on top and ensure the top is level to the top of the paper and draw the entire top edge so you have the line for the level. Then, using a marker tap into the four holes where the mount posts go. Take this sheet and put it up on the wall you’re going to install it. Ensure (several times, please) the line you drew is completely level at both ends. You’ll need a drill to install this, a power driver will help, too. Drill one hole at a time and verify the position each time with the white board. The kit is very good quality. As long as you successfully drill either two holes that are equally across the top or on the diagonal, you’ll install this correctly.

Overall I really like this board an it looks much nicer than a standard white board. The install was pretty easy, but the included wall anchors are crap. I was able to put two of the fasteners into a stud so I only needed two wall anchors. The ones it comes with are terrible so I ended up going to the hardware store to buy two toggle bolts for a total of $1.50. Make sure you bring one of the mounts with you to ensure you get toggle bolts with screw heads small enough to fit inside the mount. Once I had those, install was smooth sailing. I thought it was missing some of the rubber gaskets that go on either side of the glass but they are actually two thin gaskets stuck together that you have to pull apart. Even with the poor wall anchor quality I gave it 5 stars as it's an easy fix and the value is still excellent at the price I paid ($44.50).

U Brands Glass Dry Erase Board, 24" x 36", White Frosted Surface With Silver Grommets, Frameless, Includes Marker With Eraser ($32.00) This is a nice modern looking glass dry erase board. This replaced one we had up in our dining area. It served as a place for the kids to draw, for school stuffs (like working through math problems), and tallying points for board or card games. The old one, the surface started to wear and would no longer get completely clean so it just always appeared dirty. It was already over 10 years old, so I looked into acquiring an upgrade. This has been a great upgrade! Only thing is I wish the tray was longer, like the full length of the board. We like using different color dry erase markers. The marker it does come with is great and has an eraser built in in its cap. This is NOT magnetic. My old one wasn’t either so this did not bother me. I am unable to comment on how easy or challenging the installation was as I did not install it.

I received this glass whiteboard and was a little hesitant that it wouldn't get delivered unbroken. I was very happy to open the box and find it all in one piece and with all the hardware to install. I finally got all the tools required to make this an easier install (drill, tape, level, etc.) and went about installing it myself. I used the packing material to mark where the holes in the glass were, taped that up to the wall the drilled through it to get a perfect template that I also left in place behind the glass so it wouldn't be able to flex when I was writing on it. It came out perfectly with a one person install and I don't have any problems erasing with the dry erase markers I use. I would recommend this purchase although installing it with two people would make it a bit easier and safer (so you don't drop and shatter it if you are doing it all yourself. The glass is a bit heavy and awkward to hold by yourself while lining the holes and hardware up). Looks really good on the wall in my kitchen. I might also try putting LED light strips around the edge to see what effect it will have....buy that's a later project.

The glass whiteboard itself is excellent—sleek, sturdy, and writes/erases beautifully. However, I’m giving it 4 stars because the installation instructions could use improvement by providing verbiage along with pictures. If you're not familiar with using drywall anchors or mounting heavy items, the directions might leave you scratching your head. A mounting template would be helpful as well as getting the hardware perfectly aligned is critical since even a slight mismeasurement can make it tricky to fit the bolts through the glass.

Ich mag das Glassboard sehr. Das Design ist sehr angenehm, der mitgelieferte Stift ist super für das Board! Der Versand hat gut geklappt. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Good product, but hard to assemble. Two of the holes didn't have pass through the glass easily which required turning the bolt very carefully to avoid cracking. One part did crack slightly. The female part behind the glass doesn't allow much in flexibility so if one hole is not perfectly aligned it's quite painful to get it right. In our case, the wall is brick and the hole wasn't straight which meant I had to put a rubber washer to squeeze in the bolt crooked and still hold the board correctly.

Installed this white board in my workshop, not sure why I ever purchased cheap whiteboards that stained after a short time. Excellent surface with no mirroring after ink has been on for weeks. I would definately recommend this product if you are looking for a white board that will last for years. Crisp, clean, frameless look with pen tray is much more modern looking than a wood frame.

Does the job but the metal holder that came with it was dented so we ended up ditching it. The board is easy to clean and the marker is good. You have to be very precise to set it up the wall so that all 4 screws are in place properly. Not much margin for error.

Finally received in good order. Thank you.
