The sample is tiny, so i couldnt really get an idea if i would like it in all classroom areas. I mean, i needed to see if a bigger piece would effectivly stick and stay sticked. I also wanted to test rhe ghost or erase quality, but as i said, the sample is way too small.

I thought they would have a magnetic backing instead they were as thin as postits but were erasable

They stick to paper and rip it when repositioning was attemped. Smooth, flat non-porous surfaces work best.

I didn't get what I ordered. I'm missing markers and cleaning solution that I ordered.

I purchased my WriteyDesk between late March 2018. I got the Birch 30x60. The desk size is great and the color is gorgeous. I use my desk daily and am in love with it. Occasionally my 3 year old will get a hold of my markers and he concurs. Writey may have improved their procedures by now, but back when I purchased the desk I was in contact with their support team via email and I had emails that were "missed" by them more than once. When I would follow up, they were quick to reply and apologize for the confusion. When I received the desk I was also informed that I had to pay some unexpected additional state/shipping tax for the desk. It was by weight, so as I remember it I had to pay about an extra $60-70. I'm not sure why this was - perhaps where they shipped from or the method they shipped it. I don't know. It was shipped disassembled and was significantly easier to put together than pieces from IKEA, however I was unable to completely assemble the desk due to one of the legs suffering from a manufacturer defect. The bolt anchors in one of the legs were so loose that some of the anchors would fall out of the leg and others would spin if you tried to screw anything into them. Writey sent an entirely new leg, which was in good condition and allowed me to complete building the desk. I requested some new feet for the desk as well, since the ones I received were completely covered in superficial scratches and dents, a result of poor packaging. They were all together, loose in a plastic baggy. The replacement feet came with the new leg and looked as bad as the original feet. After completing the assembly I realized the feet are almost completely hidden by the legs anyways. After using the desk daily over the past several months I feel as though there are some improvements that could be made. First and foremost, I wish the finish of the desk was tougher. The first day I used it, my wife used a chalk marker we already had in the house to make a single mark and it left hairline scratch. Since then, the hairline scratches have become more proliferated. I find myself nervous to put anything hard on the desk for fear of creating more scratches. I would also prefer to see rounded edges and corners (at least a waterfall type curve on the top edge). The finish on the main desk doesn't cover the edges/joints and, as a result, dry erase grime gets stuck there. Less important options I would suggest would be the option to order without cable cutouts. I don't use them, but I do have to look at them. Another interesting suggestion would be the potential to add a front-end hinge, making it possible for the desk to flip up. My monitors are mounted on my desk so I wouldn't have a home use for this, but could maybe be useful in offices, classrooms or conference rooms for meetings/presentations. Perhaps made more practical with some considerations made for accommodating mounted monitors.

Love the product, but my order was not carefully packed. Custom cut piece had a few dings on the edges, and the envelope containing markers and cloths tore during transport, covering the edges of the custom cut in shredded paper fibers

The applicator is horrible!

The product itself so far seems to be adequate for our needs. The issues we faced was with the order and installation. 2 out of the 3 custom length pieces that I ordered were not the correct length.The sheets were off by as much as 3 ft which kind of makes ordering custom lengths meaningless. Also, using the provided 2x3 inch squeegees proved to be quite difficult. I would like to see them provide some tools that are better suited for whiteboards of this size. We switched to a micro fiber cloth for installation which was much better and faster. We just started from the middle and with a sweeping motion moved outwards. If I had to do it again and cost didn't matter, I would choose a paint product instead.
