Does the surface have a chalkboard "feel" to it? I'm not sure a surface that feels like a traditional chalkboard is what I'm looking for...

No it does not have the textured chalk board feel. It's very smooth just like painted wood.

It's not 'chalkboard'. It's painted / coated with a satin, maybe semi-gloss finish. My daughter did purchase the kit to turn it into a chalkboard. My grandson will be 4 in Oct., I got this for his second Christmas. It's used to eat on, play on, drawer, paint, play-doh......everything a toddler can possibly think of. I's holding up pretty good!

Mine did not - it was a regular paint on it like the rest of the desk. I'm not sure if they changed it since mine was an older model, but we never used the chalkboard part, I didn't even know it had one until I looked it up on here and saw that in the description! We just used ours with the paper rolls.

No, the surface is very similar to the feel of sketch paper. I have a screen protector on mine which turns it smooth and glossy which I do NOT like... however I love my wacom more than my desire for the good tactile feedback.

It does have a felt board on one side and on the other side it is magnetized. You can also use expo markers on the magnetized side. The only thing that was lacking for me was the Velcro strip that it comes with. It really does not fit around the board like you see in the picture. But it has been a great help to use with my clients with Autism. Children with Autism sometimes have issues with depth perception and see better with materials presented standing up versus flat on the table.

The specific table I received has a very lightly textured surface. It is probably smooth enough to write on, but I'd be inclined to use a pad or other backing of some sort.

Actually yes, writes and displays just like a traditional chalk board. It cleans very well with glass cleaner and a paper towel. No build-up of chalk dust. Ours is well used yet with a little spritz of cleaner looks like the day it came from the box.

Hi Leah, Thank you for your question. Apologies, l have only just received notification of your question, which is very strange as l check them everyday - I am sorry. Given you left your question some time ago, I am assuming you have already moved ahead one way or the other but to answer your question. I have never actually tested our markers on this surface before, however if the blackboard is made from glass then our markers would be ideal for this surface as glass is non-porous. I would still recommend testing a small portion of your surface first. If you are unhappy with our product, we are more then happy to fully refund your purchase. I hope this helps. If not, please don't hesitate to contact us again. Kind regards Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

I guess you would say it has a glossy feel. It responds great to the touch or using a stylus. I personally like the smooth feel it has. Hope that answers your question if not let me know.

No. Also the chaulkboard wears Very quickly with little use, and even with better chalk barely legible.

That's what my wall is. It isn't smooth really but it's not rough. It's slightly bumpy if that is any better at explaining. And well when you write on it wont have a smooth like paper line. But it's doable. My kids used it until it didn't stick to the wall anymore.

Chalk, it's a chalk board surface. I wouldn't try using markers or crayon on it.

It feels like one of the decals that are popular that that an adhesive on the back.I had to pick it up and move it.. and I did so with no issues, however I would not recommend doing that frequently.. my only complaint with this is that the dry erase marker doesn't stay in the holder.. but that's not terrible. It's not laminated in that it's stiff..It's more like a reusable sticker.how that helps..I do like it and I'm considering the usa only . Map.. bed bath and beyond have wall pops, you could check out out there..

The "chalk board" is actually plastic. Very hard to write with actual chalk. Would work best with liquid chalk.

I haven't used the chalk board. Don't really want to, but I can tell you that the board is a good quality board. The desk and chair are also good quality. Well worth the price.

Mine adds some sheen to the tablet. You can definitely tell it's there visually. The feel isn't changed though. It feels a lot like the naked surface. I wouldn't say it's glossy so much as a lustre coating to use a term from fine art print papers.

i must say the chalk scratched my boards. the chalk is not smooth and i do not recommend it.

hmm; without trying it out, i couldn't say for sure--but the chalkboard is pliable--very soft. and with amazon's return policy, you can't lose.

Yes, it does have a smooth surface almost like a plastic film. I would use it as a desk, it's very sturdy. Very glad I purchased it....
