This does not bend easily or anything like some people said. It is very sturdy. It is much prettier than the black chalk boards. Winner in my book, and the price is good.Bought this for my granddaughters first day of kindergarten to take pictures and it did the job. I plan on using it again at the end of her school year. Simple and easy to use.Awesome product. Works well with liquid chalk markers. Easy to wipe offShe loves it and so do I just don't forget to get the liquid chalk like I did ?It’s so cute and easy to erase! Make sure you get some liquid chalk pens for it!Purchased for my granddaughters first day of preschool. She absolutely loved. It was easy to clean, and easy for her small hands to hold.I had a few first day of school boards they are all left with dry erase chalkboard marker stains. This one is sooooo easy to wipe off.The cuteness and daintyness it can add to a photo. The fact you can wipe it off and reuse for other memories.Brought this for my sister (for my niece)Its perfectLove this, exactly as pictured. Will last through the play school & school years .
