QRT12707032Q -

I had purchased one of these from my local Meijer stores a couple of years ago. After a move and purchase of a new house I was sad to find NOTHING in my new kitchen was magnetic. I had no way to hang it up, so I tossed it. I soon found I'd become too dependent on it and needed to find a way to hang it. Velcro tape to the rescue!

I purchased a new one here and am back in the organizational swing of things.

Being able to pull the past week off, and always have the current week on top is just fantastic. You always know what is coming up, without a sudden surprise from turning the calendar to find you've got an important appointment on the 1st. If you've got something going on early in the month you've got three weeks notice!

Two problems I've run into. The old one purchased at Meijers had something smeared on the back of one of the weeks. It ended up on my fridge and was a real bugger to clean off. The current one is VERY difficult to erase. I could almost swear they sent me a sharpie instead of dry erase marker. But I've tried other dry erase markers and they have the same problem. It's a little inconvenient but worth it still.

Let me preface this review by saying that I've been using a similar product by this company that I was completely happy with. Be that as it may...

First of all, the item sent is NOT the item that is pictured and that I thought I'd be receiving. It's similar, but not exact. Strike one.
Next, the marker that was included lasted about a week and a half. Strike two.
Then, the white surface seems to absorb the dry-erase ink, requiring that each and every time I wish to erase, it MUST be done with some sort of liquid solvent to remove the 'ghosting' that takes place. Strike three!
Think twice before buying this one, folks.

I was very excited to get this product, as I thought the idea was awesome. But once I received it, it was only to be highly disappointed: the board would not erase. And when it did after many effort, it would leave a big smudge of ink. If it is that difficult to erase now, what would it be once it gets a bit older! I would definitely not recommend this calendar. Such a shame.

While other reviewers have complained that this dry-erase calendar wouldn't erase, I have not had that problem at all. It erases completely, even when I use different colors of dry-erase ink.
I really like the ability to erase one week, move the other weeks up and add a new week to the bottom. This gives great flexibility to use of this calendar.
My only complaint is the Monday-Sunday format. I prefer to have my calendar week start on Sunday but a Sunday-Saturday format was unavailable when I bought this. However, I found that marking the two weekend days in a color like red, while Monday-Friday are marked in black, helped me to work with this format.
Otherwise, this is a great calendar concept and I highly recommend it!

I love this item, my family has used it to keep us organized for years and I was not able to find a replacement locally. So glad I found it with you :)
