Does the magnetic properties of this board work? Can I use magnets on the board and expect that it will hold things? (smaller notes)

Regular refrigerator magnets will NOT work. The board comes with 6 custom magnets that work very well with the board. I have not been able to contact the company to order more which is a bit frustrating. Overall I love the product but it is annoying how only the custom magnets work with it.

yes. only if you use their extremely strong magnet. typical magnet will not hold. it comes with 6 of the strong magnets and you can buy six packs for about 10 bucks.

Sorry it took so long to answer. No metallic items will not adhere magnetically. It requires magnetic properties for whatever you want to adhere to the board. Not sure what you are attempting to do. If it is a storage type usage then search amazon for "magnetic parts tray" or use this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_14?.k=magnetic+parts+tray&sprefix;=magnetic+partsThose have a magnetic base and should adhere to the board and then create a dish that will hold any magnetic items. Also the magnetic bond is really not super duper strong. Kinda meant to hold papers and lightweight materials. When I use my marker cups on mine I place the base resting on the frame of the board so they cannot slide down. Hope this helps. Sorry it took so long to answer.

Yes. It comes with magnets but they are not terribly strong magnets. I used my own magnets that I happened to have.I like the board very much.

1 magnet can hold up to 2 letter sized (8.5x11) sheets of paper on my fridge. It also had no problem holding 1 letter sized (8.5x11) sheet of photo paper. I'm not sure why someone had to use 5 magnets to hold one 5x7 but perhaps it depends on your fridge. Mine's fairly glossy but the magnets seem to stick to it quite well.

No, the pieces are not magnetic. Good idea. I use push points but now that you mention magnetic maybe small pieces of velcro might help keep the calendar in good shape.

There are plenty of magnets in the pack, so why not try. The magnets are very small and a bit difficut to handle.

The board is not magnetic, it is made of wood and does not rotate. The cards are a cardboard material.

It is a metallic board with magnetic properties, so it uses magnetic "pins" to hold items to the board. Pushpins would not work, and might scratch the board.

It is sufficient to hold alphabet letters and the like, but it will not hold much heavier than that. Other bigger bits tend to slide down, what sort of thing are you thinking of?

These boards are not magnetic. I have bought magnetic ones at an office suooly place like Office Depot. They have a metal border and were marked as magnetic. Hope that helps.

No - the back of the board is not magnetized. Suggest you invest in some 3M Command strips.

It looks like you can. They write on and wipe off okay in a test just now. But there's so little room that I don't know if it's worth it. Each space only has about 1.5-1.75 square inches to write in. However, if you wanted a message board you could find a different place for all the magnet storage and use the bottom board as a dry erase message board.

The magnetization of this board is excellent for refrigerator type, and even stronger magnets. I think it will depend upon the size of the containers and the weight of the contents. I get a lot of this type of question which means that Soho needs to be more informative with weight applications and the strength of the magnetization with examples.

I'm chuckling. It's strong relative to what it is perhaps? Only the black side is magnetic. It's perfect for magnetic blackboards, filing cabinets etc. I can toss a 1 foot by one foot sheet at my blackboard and it sticks. I love the stuff. Great for teachers for sure. Hope this helps.

No. Since the board is aluminum and aluminum is not magnetic, the board is not magnetic.

Yes; it comes with four flat, rectangular magnets -- one for each corner. I've had my calendar for several months and have really enjoyed it on the front of my fridge. It doesn't slip and slide around when you write on it either. I would recommend this board to my family and friends.

They are very lightweight since they are small boards. Magnets should definitely be able to hold them up. The most powerful magnet that holds up my tagboards (which are posterboard size) can be purchased at Daiso for $1.50 each.
