What I like:
This corkboard is the best. Perfect for its affordable price and does the job well. It's also pretty cute and lightweight that it made it easy for me to "mount" on my wall. It also came in undamaged.
Im only renting and can't really mount anything on the wall so what I did was that I used a strand of masking tape on the top to keep it against the wall and prevent it from falling, then I used a push pin and a magazine file to act as base support (I circled them red in the pic). And so far it is pretty stable and hasn't fallen over yet and I don't think it will. Oh also, my wall is made of wood that's why I was able to get the push pin through it.
What I don't like:
It's a bit thin. My push pins go through the board so I would be careful not to put the push pins all the way especially if your wall is made of wood like mine.
other than that I love it.

Pretty good almost perfect
I bought this for my bedroom to hang up sketches and drawings. Was expecting it to be smaller for price was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger it was. It’s very light you can pick it up with one hand and very thin a normal thumbtack will pierce straight through it but shouldn’t be a problem if you plan to have it mounted against a wall. The hooks to mount it up were simple to install and let you take it down whenever you want. Overall I’m happy with this purchase.

I wanted to have a fancy cork board map to push pins through, but I wasn't about to spend what it took to buy one already done. Go ahead, search on Amazon for a cork board map and peruse a bit. So I bought this cork board in conjunction with [[ASIN:B00QFD6FPK 24x36 United States, USA US Executive Wall Map Poster Mural (24x36 PAPER)]]. I initially tried to separate the frame from the cork board, but that surely wasn't happening. The frame is very well built and put together. I would have had to destroy the frame before it would have come apart. Let that be a testament to the build quality of the frame. So, I used a hacksaw blade and ran it parallel along the inner edge between the frame and the cork board, in order to make a little void between the two. Then I laid out the map on top of the cork board and trimmed the edges of the map, leaving about 1/2" beyond the inner edge of the frame. Ever so carefully, I pushed the edges of the map up under the frame of the cork board and voila, I saved myself $50+ on the whole shebang. Sure, it's not absolute perfection, but I'd say it looks pretty good and is passable for what I needed. You can see in the photos that there is a slight ripple from the rolled map not laying perfectly flat, but that's only noticeable in a reflection, and I'm hoping that'll smoother out over time. Or you could just hang it in a dark room and forget about it. Also, the lines of the map don't perfectly align with the frame, but they're pretty darn close. The cork itself seems about as thick as most cork boards I've seen. I do know that when I push a pin in, it stays in place. The finish of the frame is smooth and looks great. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one of these boards if need be. I feel my little cork board map creation will last as long as the hills. So if you feel like being a little bit handy and want to save a bit of mulah, do what I did, then sit back and relish in the grandeur of your impeccable handiness.

Shipment came fast and undamaged. Board is okay quality. You gotta remember this was 15.41 with prime (5/19/2018) so you pay for quality. For me most of the board was going to be covered and I was not going to consistently pin/unpin items. So if you’re posting pictures/maps then this is perfect.
Some cons to this board is that like other reviewers have said the cork is really thin. I had a 1cm pin and I measured about .5-.6 cm exposed so you can do the math of how thin the cork is.
The hanging clip is designed kind of weird. So once you hang it it will not sit flush with the wall the bottom portion is going to stick out. Didn’t bother me much, but i guess it gives you more cork space in the bottom area.
Instructions are garbage. What I did was measured half of the board (17.5) then half of that (8.75) and marked in both directions. Use a level and mark corrections as needed. Then use a drill with a 5/32 drill bit and drill it through. Then push the anchor in (it’ll be a snug fit so you might need a rubber mallet, I used the end of something hard). Screw in the plate with the screw in the middle.
All in all, decent board easy setup, although mines a bit crooked, it doesn’t bother me.

It does come with hardware to mount to the wall, but I opted to use four medium 3M Command strips to put it up and they are holding really well.
Very happy with this purchase, especially when factoring in the attractive price!

Lo utilicé para poner un mapa y poder marcarlo con tachuelas y va super bien.
El único inconveniente son las dimensiones, el mapa media 60x84 y no pude simplemente ponerlo tuve que llevarlo con un carpintero para abrirlo ya que sus dimensiones si son 60x90 pero contando desde el borde del marco, lo cual si quita algunos centímetros.
Así que si se tiene considerar eso si se tiene ese objetivo, si es para algo más pequeño no hay problema.
