The Veccio board looks pretty at first glance, but soon you will discover just how cheaply it is made. The lines are pieces of black painted tape. Immediately you will see that they bleed black ink into your markers and dry them up FAST. They are difficult to write on because the lines are raised. Your marker skips over the lines, fraying its point. Anything but brown or black markers look terrible due to the black streaks. When it comes time to erase your work, your eraser will become frayed and soon destroyed as well as you try to whiz by the lines and not waste class time. The black lines are also too easily removable. If I took a scraper to the board I could wipe it clean in minutes. There is a reason that this board is the least expensive on the market. It will cost you money and hurt your neat and tidy image in front of your class. Please do not order this board so the company is forced to take it off the market. It is not good enough for classroom use.
