The MaxGear hanging whiteboard provides a 16 by 12 inch dual-sided writing surface. It is built with a corrugated core sandwiched between two sheets of coated steel, allowing it to be fully magnetic on both sides. An aluminum frame provides structural support and an anodized finish to prevent oxidation over time. Weighing very little, this board is designed for easy transport or mounting with simple hooks.
The PET lacquer surface provides a high initial gloss and a smooth writing experience. While it is magnetic across the entire surface, the thin steel construction means it is best used for writing and holding a few sheets of paper rather than supporting heavy magnetic objects. The movable plastic hooks allow for easy mounting, but because the board is lightweight, it may shift slightly in high-vibration areas unless secured at the base as well.
Usability Guidelines
- Wipe the board regularly; for ink left longer than a week, a simple cleaning solution can restore the gloss.
- The double-sided design allows you to flip the board to keep a "to-do" list on one side and a workspace on the other.
- Extremely lightweight construction makes it suitable for non-permanent mounting options like adhesive hooks.
- Handle with care to prevent the mitered frame corners from experiencing excessive torsion.
Data suggests that the core material can be sensitive to high humidity. To keep the board flat and prevent warping, it is best used in climate-controlled indoor spaces. The included ferrite magnets are sufficient for holding standard paper, and the set provides a complete kit for immediate use in a home office or student desk area.
If you require a board with a more robust, professional-grade frame for heavy daily office use, the Walglass 24 x 18 inch aluminum frame board might be a better fit.
