Quartet Desktop Whiteboard, Glass Dry Erase Board with Storage for Desktop Notetaking, 18" x 6", Clean Erase Surface, 1 Dry Erase Marker, Black Surface (GDP18B)

Overall, this product itself is pretty good. However, the white marker that came with it had some black substance all over the tip and was completely unusable. It looked like mold or something, was pretty gross.

I was really torn between the white glass vs black. I didn’t love the white glass cause from pictures the ink reflected off the glass and it looked like a shadow. I wasn’t sure about the black because I hate having to deal with liquid chalk due to prepping them every time before use.Despite that I still preferred black so it can blend in with my all black office. Also, no shadows or reflections. I was excited for the pop of neon, however sad to say I was disappointed with the Quartet white chalk marker it came with. It didn’t perform as it should and it made me really frustrated. Perhaps I got a bad apple. However, to remedy that I researched glass markers on Amazon and came across these non chalk Expo neon and it works like a charm. So no prepping involved and wipes off clean easily thanks to the glass.Overall the product is truly beautiful. It looks sophisticated and modern. I am very happy with my purchase and truly recommend. Thank you!

The board itself looks good, does the job. Since it's glass, it's easy to clean and don't have to worry about using the wrong type of dry erase or leave it for too long and will leave a permanent mark.However, you MUST use markers (paint type) in order for the writings to show on this black glass. I bought a set of Quartet dry erase markers that I thought was 'bright enough', but they were completely absorb by the darkness of the glass. Currently using the white marker that came with and waiting for the set of NEON markers (Expo ones, can't find fine tip in stock) to arrive.

The marker which came with product was dry and does not write on the board

(I have pictures but somehow I don’t have the option to upload them at the moment 🤷‍♀️)I didn’t see many or any reviews for the black version but took the chance anyway.I really love the look on the glass black boards and wanted something that didn’t stand out too much (my office desktops and laptops are mostly black).I also considered getting the tablet sized glass “notepad” - but as glass is not generally durable, I can see them for use more so at a desk.. not as much for when I’m out visiting different sites. That is unless I have some sort of protective sleeve.Anyway, when I got it out of the box I didn’t expect for it to be that wide - from the pictures most of them look smaller! So that was a bonus.It came with its own white marker - I was almost convinced it was dried out at first, though you do need to shake it and press it down on your writing surface until the paint comes out.This also includes the slide out tray. In the pic ads, you don’t see it because it’s placed on the right side of the item. The pictures I saw only show from the left. Saying that, I don’t see why they couldn’t place one on both sides.. looking at it, it seems like one side is missing.Just a suggestion.I’m teleworking today so I’ll see if I can get more pictures once I place it in the office.If I like it enough, I would definitely consider getting the gold/marble version to keep at home 🙂
