How is the white board? The last one I ordered left ghost shadowing when you erased.(staining)

It erases very well, but after several uses does need to be cleaned with glass cleaner.

This easel is really well made and it hasn't stained for us. My daughter will write on it and we can leave it and come back later and wipe it clean with no stains. She got this easel Christmas 2012. I would recommend this easel. I hope this helps.

Mine has become slightly discolored but i wont say dirty. I wipe it regularly and it still looks very good.

Hi David, The background is very glossy. The space bar is black, but not glossy. The keys on my keyboard are covered with a non-glossy black and white letters that I added. The keyboard had no blotches of any kind. It also has a pretty blue light that indicates if the Caps are on. I am happy I purchased this keyboard, I hope things work out for your friend.

Mine has been stained, and the result is definitely not pine looking to me. I wish it were. It looks closer to yellow than pine I am afraid. Perhaps if the staining were done differently you might have a different result, but as I had said in my review, this table was difficult to stain according the the fellow who did it. Each section (Leg, top, drawer face) seemed to "take up" the stain differently. Over the stain he put polyurethane. That may be what is causing the yellowish effect. There is no hint of grain I would like to see. His (and therefore my) recommendation was to buy this if your intention was to paint it. It would be a lovely little table to paint. (hint-hint).

Hi Valerie - I think you'd be happier with the outcome if you got the unfinished one. I think the stain will soak in better.

I have erased over the tape many times without any smearing or marks. However, I have not used whiteboard cleaner on the taped areas.

I clean it with soap & water, with a plain water rinse after that (not even after every use, depending on what I have used it for). I also wipe it down once in a while with the mineral oil. I've had this board for quite a while now, I use it daily & it is still as beautiful as the day I received it. The mineral oil really helps keep it clean.

I'd love to help you out with this but I don't know what you mean by "ghosting"I really like this board, we use it as a calendar for all of our jobs.

Looking at mine as we speak. Many knife marks from normal cutting. I do treat with olive and wood oil. Nice board.. Doesn't take a beating though..

On the colored versions (i.e., non-woodgrain), the backing board is white. I don't own any of the wood-grain versions, but my guess is it's the same color as the grain, based on the picture (if it was white, it'd be clearly noticeable in the provided product picture).

It has not stained so far but I don't cut meat on it if that matters.It is a huge surface and nice board overall.I'm hesitant to cut anything colorful on these types of boards due to staining. Smell and color. So far so good!I hope this helps.

Ditto to what Ken Baxter. It does discolor. But it's not a big issue for me.

This is from the company. I did some research &#128077; Joan We do offer replacement boards for $20 including shipping if this interests you. If you would like one, please send me your shipping address, full name, phone # and a Visa or MC # and I will mail it out to you. [You can also mail us a cheque but we would need to wait until it was received to ship the board.] Note: Please keep your tray and brush, as only the board itself will be mailed to you from our beautiful Vancouver BC headquarters.

Chiming in to say the clear case yellowed/stained on me too, starting at a few months in. To be fair though, I'm pretty messy with it, but I've tried thoroughly cleaning it to no avail. Still a great case, though.

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. The wood is black, the white is just stating the dry erase part. So the board is basically black and white. There are no other options for colors, we do apologize. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

This is a better question for the manufactor ... However, we used regular wall paint and no stains or schlacs because we didn't want the boards to be too slippery. They seem to be in the same condition we received them in for now, as for cleveland weather wear and tear - it remains to be seen :) we still LOVE them and the paint we used has kept them in the same great quality as how they originally came

The board does nit come with blemishes. However it does not fit the bill. It bends and does not stay flat on a wall even when properly installed. How? I gave no clue.
