Upshot: I'm satisfied. As you'll see below, there are some issues, but this is going to meet my need, and there were some pleasant surprises when I got it assembled. I'd buy it again.The delivered package was heavier than I expected, and marked "heavy." Since I had to get it upstairs, this was a bit of an issue, but I managed it on my own (for what it's worth, I'm a 60-something guy; not in bad shape, but not a gym rat. I put a rope around the package and slid it upstairs one step at a time. A helper would be a good idea if you have stairs to deal with). As I explain below, there is an upside to the weight.The assembly instructions are "okay," but not great. When the dust settled they were correct, but there are a couple things that I found confusing, things that I would have changed, including the order of assembly. If the manufacturer would like to reach out to me about this, that would be fine.On the plus side, you don't need any tools: they include the allen wrench, screwdriver, and small wrench that you need. And there are a few extra screws, because some people (like me) can drop/lose one or two.Although I griped a bit earlier about the weight, the structural members are iron, and when you've bolted it together, it is satisfyingly solid. Some of the non-structural bits are not iron, but they don't need to be.Some nice touches:This is a two-sided white board that you can flip over to write on both sides. There is a "capture" mechanism that is surprisingly nice which will keep the whiteboard from wobbling while you write on it, yet nevertheless permits easy "flip" operation. You can flip the board either way, doesn't matter which way.They include some markers and some magnets. The magnets are a nice touch because they actually work. This indicates that there is an iron sheet inside, which a cheaper board wouldn't have. I was pleasantly surprised by this. The markers are nothing to write home about, but they work. You'll want to get more, but you can write on this board right out of the box.Another nice touch: there is a plastic film protecting the whiteboard surface to keep it pristine during assembly. There is one amusing surprise associated with this: when you pull off that plastic film, some Interesting Static Electricity things will happen, and you'll get some dandy jolts as you clear the plastic.So, frankly: it's good. You could get a nicer board of the same size, but it would be more expensive. The "hinge" in the middle is not going to be a problem; I'm not going to notice it. Although it is inexpensive, it is not "cheap." I can think of one mechanical change I would suggest to the manufacturer, but it is pretty minor.If I needed another board of the same size, I'd buy this one again.
