Best thing for my kids school work
November 17, 2012
This is the best thing I've purchase to display my kids classwork. They love showing everyone what they have done and it's super cute. Made VERY well! In fact, my mother had to purchase one too as she wanted to display all the grand kids art.

Schoolhouse Wall Set
June 1, 2012
I loved these when they came out the first time, but missed the opportunity to buy them, so I quickly purchased all 3 when they came out again in Spring 2012. I love them and they look great in my son's playroom, but the cork board trim is a few shades darker than the other 2 (easel and chalkboard), so they looked kind of awkward together. I sent it back initially thinking it was just damaged, but the second one came back with the same dark trim. I ended up having to repaint the trim to match the other 2. Expensive product to have to repaint, but I just like the set too much to return it. Just something to be aware of if you want to place all 3 side by side as shown in the photos online and in the catalog. The cork board trim is NOT the same color. That said, they're sturdy and constructed well.

schoolhouse boards
November 17, 2011
Just had to have all three for my grandson. The chalkboard was no longer available, so I order two dry erase and painted one with chalkboard paint, very successful. They made his room perfect.

Great for magnets too!
September 13, 2011
I always dreamed of buying all three of these items but was too late to get all three of them, so I settled for the dry erase board. I read all the reviews of it not erasing well, so my plan was to make it into a corkboard by buying the cork on a roll. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised that the board was also magnetic, so we never used it as a dry erase board! Instead, we exhibit all of the kid's (weekly) art work using magnets!

School House Utility Dry Erase Board
August 1, 2011
We bought the dry erase board for my son's room. We were so excited when we got it. However, the very first time we used it, we learned that you cannot completely erase any marks that you put on it. We used name brand markers with and without cleaner. Eventually we tried every idea that the internet offered but to no avail. I called customer service and they quickly sent out a replacement thinking that this was just a bad board. The next one came and same thing happened. These boards are really cute and look great. But for almost $200, you would expect that it would work as good as my daughters $4 dry erase board- not the case!! Pottery Barn Kids- BRING BACK THE CHALK BOARD PLEASE!!!

Adorable but Dry Erase Doesn't Erase
May 4, 2011
I bought the chalkboard and dry erase board for my kids' playroom and both are adorable. However, after the kids used it only one day, the dry erase board is stained from the markers not erasing. I'm afraid of how it will look after even just a couple days. I feel that for the board costs, it should be much higher quality. It's disappointing!!

Great Product
March 1, 2011
We ordered the school house chalk board for our 18 month old to put in his bedroom. It's a little taller than I thought but it gives him room to grow. The only thing that needed to be put together was the tray for the chalk and was easy to hang. It also didn't take long to be shipped either. Overall it's a great product and will eventually buy the other two school house boards also.

Super cute playroom decor
December 27, 2010
I bought the chalkboard and dry erase board for our playroom. They are very cute and functional for kids that love to play school. Nice to hang a bucket from a cute hook to hold chalk and markers next to it! Pretty easy to assemble and install. As always very good quality so far. Only downfall is shipping cost was a bit steep and days later there was free shipping that we missed out on.

So cute
December 23, 2010
I have wanted to buy these for a while and finally did so. We got the corkboard and chalkboard for my son's playroom and we are going to order the dry erase board as well. They are replacing a standing chalkboard/dry erase board we had. They are even more adorable in real and are very well made. Very unique design. Already got several compliments. Highly recommended. Thanks PBK for such a wonderful product.

The Perfect Finishing Touch
July 26, 2010
I bought the dry erase board with paper roll and the corkboard. It makes the girls feel important that they are able to post their own little reminders in a place always seen to the entire household and they love to pretend play like they are in school.

We ordered the chalkboard for our sons room, and even though it was pricey, it was just way too cute to pass up! It looks great, good quality, an my two sons 2 years and 11 months both love playing with it. We bought a small bucket to put the chalk in, and a pottery barn kids red star hook to hang it off. We get compliments on it all of the time when people see our sons room.

Pricey but GREAT QUALITY
April 17, 2010
I ordered 2 of the white board and easel "houses". I love having things off of the floor and hung on the wall! I installed these in my mom's playroom/ home-school room (I have pre-schoolers). All of the grandkids LOVE these on playdays and they are working well for my preschool homeschooling too. They are large so remember to measure first - I have 2 on a 10 foot wall with a pbteen knob hooks in between them (I put pencils etc in canvas bags on the hooks).

Paper Rolls for Dry Erase Board
March 30, 2010
We are giving this product to our daughter for her little girl in the next few weeks. They seem to be made of good quality paper. We will update later. Thank you. We have two grandchildren and a great niece who will enjoy these a great deal I believe. Our other grandchild is 14 and too old for these types of products.
