This is a most lovey magnetic board I got for my sewing room (sounds very grand, a sewing room, but that's what happens when your children leave home}.
The board itself is very solid and robust - I had visions of me dropping it and landing end-on on my toe and breaking it - my toe, not the board. It didn't.
It was bigger than I expected. I know, I'd measured it, but I somehow hadn't expected it to be the size it is.
It was the devils own job to put up, mostly because our walls seem to be made of some impenetrable substrate that took almost an hour of drilling to make two holes. The thought that they might have been in the wrong place changed me from "I'm going to do this right, with a spirit level and everything" to "...will it hold up with two screws? Well that'll do". Yes, the screws were in the right place and yes, it will hold with two screws, but I wouldn't recommend it. None of this is the fault of the board, you understand. It was just trying to do its job.
The end result is just wonderful. Its not too big, its the right size. Any smaller would have been too small.
It makes me smile every time I look at it.
