Quartet Cork Bulletin Board, Framed Corkboard, 2' x 3', Black Frame, Message Board, Vision Board (MWDB2436-BK)

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.

It looks good and works. I bought it for my mother, and when I felt how thin and light it is, my heart sank. The mounting system isn't very solid either. However, I installed it with some tape to help it stay in place, and my mother uses it and she loves it.I was going to give it 4 stars because it feels so cheap, but then I remembered that it _was_ very cheap, and it works, so I'm giving it 5 stars. I hope it doesn't fall apart.

Good quality. I use it every day to hang flyers for local businesses in my Barbershop.

Got this for my new office. It's a good quality, looks great and was easy to mount.

What I like:This corkboard is the best. Perfect for its affordable price and does the job well. It's also pretty cute and lightweight that it made it easy for me to "mount" on my wall. It also came in undamaged.Im only renting and can't really mount anything on the wall so what I did was that I used a strand of masking tape on the top to keep it against the wall and prevent it from falling, then I used a push pin and a magazine file to act as base support (I circled them red in the pic). And so far it is pretty stable and hasn't fallen over yet and I don't think it will. Oh also, my wall is made of wood that's why I was able to get the push pin through it.What I don't like:It's a bit thin. My push pins go through the board so I would be careful not to put the push pins all the way especially if your wall is made of wood like mine.other than that I love it.

easy to put together , holds lots of stuff easily with push pins , and looks great !

Best Price and Quality 💯🤩I need to be easily accessing information from my desk. The house is older so I don’t have ceiling lighting. Worked perfect thank you

Was easy to install on my office wall and looks attractive. My wife would like one of her own!One observation. It’s basically a thin sheet of cork glued to a sheet of corrugated cardboard. A normal thumb tack will go through it with the tip projecting out on the backside. The wooden frame holds the board away from the wall so I don’t think the wall will be damaged, but something to consider.
