does the board open up flat- so i could hang it on the wall..(with a cup of water nearby)? and write something "permanent" on the bottom half???

Yes, you can open it so that it is flat with the Buddha Board portion at the top. I'm not sure about writing something permanent on the bottom half. You would probably need to buy some kind of strong mounting tape in order to get it to stay on a wall while people use it.

After folding the board in half, are you then turning it sideways (what would be the long side if not folded) to the wall before then folding it up to be perpendicular with the wall? If you fold it when it is straight out from the wall, and then attempt to lift it up to the wall, it won't go, because the wide end of the board hits the mounting bracket. Fold it in half, turn the board sideways to the wall, and then fold it up against the wall. That's how it's designed to work - mine has always worked wonderfully, and I love it!

There are small metal anchors that you can attach to the back of the frame if you want to use them to hang the board on two nails on a wall. The hardest part is making sure that the nails are level with each other. I do not recommend eye-balling it, use a level if you have one available.

The board is designed to be hung horizontally with "clips" formed into frame. If hardware were purchased separately I feel it could be hung vertically. Hope this helps. Great size board for price.

The board has small sockets in the back that allow it to hang off screws that have been screwed into the wall. I however do not know if it would be sturdy enough... we keep ours on the floor for our 17 mo to scribble on... I draw letters, numbers, pictures, etc. for game-time (pattern recognition, etc.).

You can also attach it to a 2' x 2' board. That board can be portable. Try to use a decent wood board if you need it portable.

It does lay open flat. Its very nice in that respect if I remember. I only ever use pen so I can't comment on ease of erasing, sorry.

The board I purchased has straight corners. But it is a year old. Love it, but they might have changed. Best to call them with your question. I use mine as a countertop on two base cabinets. Sits flush against the wall.

The hardware that comes with it includes two mollies and screws, I imagine that you could get the double sided foam tape and use that. I've done this in the past with other boards and it sticks fine, then using a credit card or something like that to help get the tape off. The screws included would probably be too long for screwing into a cabinet but maybe you could get shorter ones?

Yes it has a small logo on one of the sides border. It is small compared to the big size of the board. You can barely notice it. If you put that side that has the logo towards the wall you will not see any logos

Absolutely! I recently had my husbands 1960's board restored and now it hangs on the wall of our beach house. Looks beautiful and a great conversation piece.

Although I have mine hanging on the wall, I believe it could be placed carefully on a flat surface. I would recommend it sit against a wall though as I would worry it would fall over easily. It is a beautiful case!

Although if you don't mind doing a little craft work, I'm sure you could cut the ports out of the boarder that you will never want to use again once using this. The shape is a bit odd, so I'd wait until you receive the board to cut the right shape.

No it doesn't the board comes with a little bag of metal things to attach to a wall. I didn't mount it on the wall yet, because I am moving soon. The board is a little too heavy to put on the fridge I can imagine it fall or getting knocked of when the fridge doors open also it is quite large. It's ideal spot would be in a persons room or office.

Yes, it does. It is a flat surface. Put lots of paper towels under the board, it will take care of the problem.

If you did want to screw it to the wall, you would have difficulity like Mr. Burson stated. The board that covers the back is very cheap and thin so I doubt it would hold for very long.

Joanne, The mounting hardware that is included can be used to hang the bulletin board "longways." We went one step further and placed two screws directly into the frame so the board is permanently affixed to the wall. Hope this helps!
