As indicated in my headline, I have 5 white boards now in my home hanging on various walls or inside closet doors ... this is the most recent of my white board purchases and I am so happy I found it and ordered it!It comes in a sturdy mailing tube: the magnetic board is rolled and 5 dry erase markers, a board eraser, and instructions are in a plastic bag neatly tucked inside the roll.The board unrolled easily. There is a protective film cover on the writing side of the white board which the instructions indicate to remove. It was easy.I purchased this white board for my refrigerator, to replace another I had purchased earlier that simply refused after three months to stay on the refrigerator door; it started to slip down the front side of the refrigerator at first and then simply started to fall off altogether crashing to the floor.This white board affixed perfectly and quickly smoothed itself out from its rolled shipping tube position. It's entire surface is magnetized so it stays completely in place. Each of the dry erase markers contains a little round magnet that affixes the marker to the refrigerator door, which I like very much!!! No more reaching into a drawer to get a different colored marker! I had one issue with a missing magnet on one marker, and the vendor responded instantly and within two days I had received a replacement!Another thing I really like about this white board is that it is a very bright white and it erases easily and completely, no smears at all, not only with the markers that come with it, but also with other dry erase markers I already have. A great purchase all around!!!
