Product Information
Full details
The Franken Whiteboard (WB16090) is designed for professionals, educators, and home-office users who require a reliable, versatile surface for visual planning and brainstorming. Its primary benefit is the durable lacquered steel construction paired with an anodized aluminum frame, offering a professional aesthetic and longevity. A potential caveat to consider is that because it is a magnetic drywipe surface, users must ensure they use high-quality dry-erase markers and appropriate magnetic accessories to prevent surface ghosting or scratches over time.

FAQs
Can I use this board for magnetic charts?
Yes, the lacquered steel surface is magnetic, allowing you to use magnets to hold papers, charts, and photos.
Is the board orientation fixed?
No, the board is designed to be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation.
What is the best way to clean the surface?
Use a dry microfiber cloth for daily cleaning, and a dedicated whiteboard cleaner periodically to remove deep stains.

The board comes with an integrated marker tray, but markers are generally sold separately.

What are the primary materials used?

Troubleshooting
Marker ink is not erasing cleanly
The board likely has a buildup of ink residue. Clean the surface thoroughly with a specialized whiteboard cleaner and a soft cloth.
Magnets are sliding down the board
Check if the magnets are of high quality and intended for use on magnetic steel whiteboards. Weak promotional magnets may not provide enough force.
Board wobbles after mounting
Ensure all mounting screws are tightened correctly and that the mounting brackets are level against the wall surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward using the included wall mounting kit; however, always ensure you are using the correct wall anchors for your specific wall type (e.g., drywall vs. masonry). For optimal care, wipe the board down regularly with a dedicated dry-erase board cleaner or a microfiber cloth to remove residual ink. Avoid using permanent markers on the surface, as this can cause permanent damage. If a permanent marker is accidentally used, a high-alcohol whiteboard cleaner can often lift the stain without harming the lacquered coating.
