Love it. Comes with three installation screw systems each

Love it. Comes with three installation screw systems each, but since I live in a dorm, I used 12 command strips to attach it to the wall and they've stuck in so far (been 3 days now!). Love the material and the finish. Be sure to get a level of some sort before you install! Helps keep it straight. What I did was hoist the board up onto the wall and set the level on the top wooden surface (I enlisted a friend's help, two people is best for this operation). After we got it settled, I penciled in the four corners and two areas between the corners on each of the four sides. Then, I ripped off the WALL side of the command strips and applied them (with the removal strip facing OUTWARDS) to the lines I previously marked, at the corners they all faced left or right and on the four sides they faced up-down-left-right. Then I took the board (again, with a friend) and aligned them with the corners before setting it down on the strips. Then a few hard presses on each corner and side of the board and it's secure!

Dressed them up and they work great

Very happy with these. I ended up covering them with fabric and they came out great. Some folks complain they don't get the mounting screws and hooks. When you open the box look at both ends of the cardboard box, they were taped to one end when I opened them up. It's not much so I can see how someone could mistakenly overlook it.

Perfect!

PERFECT! I made a large travel map with this for a church member who is retiring. Great quality frame and cork. Perfect fit for the map I bought. Thank you.

Excellent As A Jigsaw Puzzle Base

After deciding against the more expensive jigsaw trays, and not wanting the hassle to build my own, I came up with the thought that maybe a bulletin board would work just as well. I found this one right away, and sure enough someone already purchased one for their mom for the same use, with excellent results. Between the terrific price and free shipping (I'm a prime member), what a deal this was!!! It's terrific. It's lightweight so it is easily moved, but very sturdy as well with a hardboard backing and a cork surface. The cork keeps the pieces firmly in place (I did a puzzle as soon as I opened it!), and everything is easily seen on it. The only thing to be aware of is the the size 24"x 36" includes the molding, so the actual work space is 22" x 34". It's perfect for the size of the puzzles I usually get, but it might be too small if you like the real big ones.

Uncorked

I wanted to have a fancy cork board map to push pins through, but I wasn't about to spend what it took to buy one already done. Go ahead, search on Amazon for a cork board map and peruse a bit. So I bought this cork board in conjunction with 24x36 United States, USA US Executive Wall Map Poster Mural (24x36 PAPER). I initially tried to separate the frame from the cork board, but that surely wasn't happening. The frame is very well built and put together. I would have had to destroy the frame before it would have come apart. Let that be a testament to the build quality of the frame. So, I used a hacksaw blade and ran it parallel along the inner edge between the frame and the cork board, in order to make a little void between the two. Then I laid out the map on top of the cork board and trimmed the edges of the map, leaving about 1/2" beyond the inner edge of the frame. Ever so carefully, I pushed the edges of the map up under the frame of the cork board and voila, I saved myself $50+ on the whole shebang. Sure, it's not absolute perfection, but I'd say it looks pretty good and is passable for what I needed. You can see in the photos that there is a slight ripple from the rolled map not laying perfectly flat, but that's only noticeable in a reflection, and I'm hoping that'll smoother out over time. Or you could just hang it in a dark room and forget about it. Also, the lines of the map don't perfectly align with the frame, but they're pretty darn close. The cork itself seems about as thick as most cork boards I've seen. I do know that when I push a pin in, it stays in place. The finish of the frame is smooth and looks great. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one of these boards if need be. I feel my little cork board map creation will last as long as the hills. So if you feel like being a little bit handy and want to save a bit of mulah, do what I did, then sit back and relish in the grandeur of your impeccable handiness.

Fits my purpose

I bought this to do jigsaw puzzles on after I got tired of making puzzle boards out of foam core boards. Most puzzles should fit my home made version which allows 20" x 28", a standard size puzzle. However, some are a bit off, enough to make the puzzle buckle. I was afraid this cork board might be a bit heavy, the reason I built boards with foam core in the first place. The weight is, however, acceptable. I will probably make a carrier/cover out of the cardboard it was mailed in.

Exactly what I needed!

As a college student, I have too many due dates and assignments to complete throughout the course of the semester. Sometimes I will forget a list of things I need to do because of all the papers I have stacked in my folder. This bulletin board has allowed me to pin up all of the important paperwork like, syllabi for different classes that has important dates on them. It's pretty big, that is true, but make sure that before purcjasing this board, you take a tape measure and get a visual of how much space it'll take (the dimensions are in the description). The price was absolutely affordable and if I had to buy another one I would. Also, I wasn't able to install the board onto my wall by myself, but if you can find someone who knows how to do a proper job, it'll look great! Bottom line: I highly recommend it to all of you eyeing it!

The best part was that the whole thing cost me under ...

I used this board as the base for a "Places We Have Been" map! The best part was that the whole thing cost me under $10! I have linked the other Amazon products I used to create this map. 600 PCS Multi-color Push Pins Map tacks ,1/8 inch Round head with Stainless Point, 10 Assorted Colors (Each Color 60 PCS) in reconfigurable container for bulletin board, fabric markingWorld Map Vintage Style Poster Print

Exactly as described

It's a cork board, so there isn't much to review. It's exactly as described on the description. I was able to easily hang it up and it's not heavy so I didn't have to put in wall anchors. Overall, a great purchase and it looks great in my office.

Perfect for puzzling

This is a great alternative to expensive puzzle boards. It's just the right size for 27" x 20" puzzles with plenty of room on the edges for those pieces you know are coming up soon. It's sturdy enough to move around, I've also carried it in the back of the car. Given the thinness of the cork, it wouldn't last long as a bulletin board.
