"My son has so much fun drawing all over this chalkboard, and it does not make that sound that always gives me the chills. In addition, it is easy to place, reposition, and does not mess up your walls. We love it. It comes in a pack of four, and we only really need to use one at a time. We are saving the others for when this one wears out. It does however scratch easily when drawn on, so it may have to be replaced yearly after being drawn on on a just about daily basis. But overall, completely worth the cost and is a much better alternative to the real thing in my opinion."
