Best Whiteboards

A glass whiteboard isn’t usually the kind of product you have to replace every couple of years, provided that you get a well-made model. However, they do tend to get scratched up or lose their color over time which renders them unusable. That’s why we recommend the Quartet G4836W, a model that’s protected against this specific problem. The glass on this board is tempered in a special way that leaves it with high damage and scratch resistance. Even when the long 15-year warranty on this model runs out, your board will still look good as new and retain its magnetic abilities.

Well, the surface will stay pristine but we do recommend reinforcing the center of the board before hanging it as the middle part tends to bend due to a lack of braces there. This means that when you write on the board and put some pressure on the center, you could end up damaging it inadvertently.

Also, before you put the Quartet G4836W up on your wall, make sure you’ve got the space for it because this whiteboard easel is a pretty big one at 48 x 36 inches. Sure, it may not take up the whole wall but it’s not exactly a framed photo in terms of size.

If you’re looking for a reliable dry erase board for classroom, home, or office use and want to make sure it serves you for a long time, get the Quartet G4836W. Yes, it’s a bit more pricey than some of the analogues but it’s also more durable and, while not without its flaws, offers true quality.

Need a whiteboard for office presentations but don’t want it to look like a tacky classroom model? We recommend the sleek and modern Audio-Visual Direct GB90120-NC, which has no frame and won’t look out of place in a minimalistic office space. For example, the glass on this model is nigh-transparent so it blends in easily on any wall.

It’s not just about the looks, though, as the Audio-Visual Direct GB90120-NC will also be quite easy to hang up without making any measurements or risking drilling unnecessary holes in the wall. This board comes with a full-size template that you can use to determine where apertures need to be made for the mounting process, no guesswork required. Plus, the GB90120-NC is quite lightweight and the unique metal mounts make it easy to hang the board up by yourself.

We’re not saying that the Audio-Visual Direct GB90120-NC is perfect as we were surprised by the lack of a magnetic coating on the glass. It would have been quite handy and has always been a standard feature on any whiteboard used for interactive presentations.

This model is pretty large at 47.25 x 35.5 inches, maybe not outright huge but big enough to write comfortably without worrying about running out of space. If you frequently have brainstorming sessions in the office, this will quickly become a notepad for any and all ideas you come up with. In the end, we really liked the design of the Audio-Visual Direct GB90120-NC and, while it has its flaws, we can’t think of a better choice for a modern office.

The general concept of a whiteboard may present a large yet mobile space for writing and sketching out ideas but, in practice, most of them are tough to hang up and even harder to take down. Well, that is unless you’re willing to ruin your wall. Or go for the easier option and get the OfficePro OPDEB.

This model is mounted via special loops and can be taken off the wall in a matter of seconds. That makes this an actual portable whiteboard that you can quickly switch between rooms, especially useful for quick office presentations or teaching.

Unlike some of the more expensive models, the OfficePro OPDEB isn’t made of tempered glass but rather of plastic with a magnetic coating. This means it’s more affordable and less prone to scratches, which tend to appear on glass if you write on it regularly with markers. Perhaps that durability is exactly why the product comes with a lifetime warranty.

We do have to say that the marker included with the purchase is pretty poor and we wouldn’t recommend using it, especially since a set of new colored markers isn’t that expensive and offers better quality.

All in all, we like the OfficePro OPDEB as a relatively small whiteboard that you can move around if needed. It’s portable, high-quality, and reasonably priced, what more could we ask for?

Not everybody wants to have a huge board hanging on their wall even if it’s easy to take off. Besides, why go for a weighty wall-mounted model when you have something like the Nosiva Tripod? This light whiteboard with stand can be easily tucked away when not in use and it’s easy to find space for it whether you’re buying the board for home, office, or school use.

We get that a tripod-mounted board may not be to everyone’s liking but it just won us over. For example, the stand’s height can be adjusted depending on how tall you are so you won’t have to bend over just to write something down. Alternatively, you can raise it up high so people at the back of the room can see what you’ve written. It can also be folded to fit under a table or in a similar nook where it won’t get in your way.

Of course, the availability of all these mechanical functions means you’ll have to tighten the screws on the tripod itself once in a while. The board is fixated by a steel clamp and 2 hooks, though, so you don’t have to worry about it falling off of the stand. By the way, here’s a handy tip: the clamp can also be used to hold posters and other documentation in place if they’re needed for your presentation.

So don’t hesitate to get the Nosiva Tripod if you want a lightweight and portable whiteboard that’s also convenient to use. It’s an affordable and, frankly, more convenient alternative to expensive and large wall-mounted boards.

Let’s be honest, most high-quality whiteboards are quite expensive as they’re used predominantly in offices and schools, where the cost is easier to spare. But if you’re buying one for home use and don’t want to break your piggy bank, take a look at the VIZ-PRO WB1290L.

This model is both affordable and up to par in terms of quality with a plastic surface that isn’t scratched easily. While the modest 30-day warranty doesn’t show much confidence in the product, you can be sure that it will serve you for years.

The VIZ-PRO WB1290L is quite easy to hang up thanks to the sturdy brackets that don’t take much effort to mount. However, make sure you have the space for it as the board is 48 x 36 inches, not exactly compact. Speaking of size, we were a bit disappointed by the frame thickness on this model as it makes up at least 3 or 4 inches on each side, which would have been more useful as a writing area. Still, a framed whiteboard is sturdier than a regular sheet of glass, which is what many of the modern models go for in terms of design.

In the end, the VIZ-PRO WB1290L may be a basic choice but it’s an affordable and durable board. If you’re looking for a place to write down your thoughts and not an element of decor, it’s a completely viable option, especially for home use.
