Best Decorative Chalkboards of 2025

"I wasn't expecting much for the price, just needed a small task board and preferred chalk to dry-erase. But I'm really impressed with how nice this board is. The hangers are durable and allow for both vertical and horizontal placement. I like that I can set it flat or prop it up without it being too noticeable. The burnt finish looks like antique wood, not just a quick job. You won't be disappointed!"

"I absolutely love using this board to list our weekly dinner menu! It came intact with chalk and a magnetic eraser, and the rustic frame color is just as pictured. It's incredibly sturdy and easy to hang, which is why I attached it to my pantry door using velcro command strips. After priming it with regular chalk, I ditched the included chalk and eraser. I now use liquid chalk markers, and they apply and erase without any ghosting. This was one of my best Amazon purchases!"

"My daughter is thrilled with this magnetic chalkboard! The size is perfect for her magnets, and it has proven to be very durable over time. The gray wood color looks fantastic and fits our decor. We can use it for educational purposes or just for fun, making it a versatile choice. Highly recommend this board!"

We used them for everything from table numbers to fun notes for the guests. With 20 in a pack, there was plenty to go around! I highly recommend them for anyone looking to enhance their event.”

“These little signs are great for buffets! They helped guests identify dishes and potential allergens.
