Product Information

Full details

The Deflecto Double Sided A4 Countertop Chalkboard is an ideal choice for small business owners, cafe managers, or event organizers who need a professional and flexible way to display menus and promotional messaging. Its primary benefit lies in the double-sided, all-weather resistant writing surface that maintains durability in various indoor and outdoor settings. A minor caveat is that because the surface is designed for all-weather resistance, users should ensure they use appropriate liquid chalk markers or standard chalk and verify the cleaning method recommended to avoid ghosting.

FAQs

Are liquid chalk markers safe to use on this board?

Yes, but it is recommended to test a small area first to ensure the brand of marker used is fully removable with a damp cloth.

Can I leave these boards outside in the rain?

The surface is weather-resistant, but the wooden base should be kept dry to prevent warping over long periods of exposure.

What is the exact size of the chalkboard surface?

The board is sized at A4, making it approximately 210mm x 297mm, ideal for standard desk or counter displays.

Does the pack include markers?

No, the pack includes 4 chalkboard units with bases; writing utensils are sold separately.

Can the boards be used without the base?

The boards are designed to function with the provided base to remain upright, but the panels are removable if you prefer to mount them differently.

Troubleshooting

Ghosting or previous writing remains visible

Use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive household cleaner to remove stubborn pigments.

Board wobbles in the base

Check that the board is fully inserted into the center of the wooden slot and ensure the surface underneath the base is perfectly level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant dark oak finish provides a high-end look
  • Double-sided design doubles your signage area
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor use
  • Compact A4 footprint fits almost any counter space
  • Value pack of 4 units is cost-effective for cohesive branding

Cons

  • Requires purchase of compatible chalk or liquid markers
  • Limited to A4 sizing which may be too small for complex menus
  • Dark surface requires high-contrast markers for visibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Deflecto chalkboard is straightforward. Simply place the chalkboard panel into the pre-slotted dark oak base on a flat, level surface. Ensure the board is pressed firmly into the slot for maximum stability.

Compatibility & Maintenance:

  • Markers: Use standard white or colored chalk for a classic look, or liquid chalk markers for a cleaner, bolder line. Test markers on a small corner of the board first to ensure they can be easily wiped away.
  • Cleaning: For standard chalk, a dry cloth or eraser works well. For liquid markers, a damp microfiber cloth is usually sufficient. If residue persists, use a mild soap solution, but avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the all-weather coating.
  • Care: Store indoors during extreme weather conditions to prolong the life of the oak base, even though the writing surface itself is designed for durability.
