Quartet Bulletin Bar Pin Strip Cork Board 48" x 1", For Classroom, Office, Cubicle, Aluminum Frame (Z2006)

If you read the comments on here you would think people are buying this to hang a house from it. Come on. This is a simple tack strip designed to hang paper. Second, if you really thought adhesive tape that comes with it would hold it up, well, glad it fell off on you. In literally 15 seconds I took 2 metal screws, guide them through the metal edge on the left/right, placed against wall, gently screwed into wall. It won't go anywhere. I found the screws in the bottom of my toolbox .. if you had to buy them, they are like 10 cents at Lowes in the bins. As far as the thumbtacks now going all the way in .. by design, if you try to push all the way in, metal will stop it. Why would you want the metal not to exist and hit wall? Second, if you can't get the thumbtack in at the depth on this, you simply don't need to be trying to hold your item up with a thumbtack. Come on people.

Just got this in the mail at my office and have to say the packaging was awesome item came in a packaging tube inside a long Amazon box... The item itself works great came with 4 magnetic strips already in place and an additional 4 3m double sided strips. The wall i put it on is concrete at first I was nervous about it falling however it stayed in place all shift...only down fall is the cork is indeed shallow however a fix for that is using wire cutters on your push pins to make them a little shorter.

The first time we put these up at the office, they fell off the wall almost immediately. We ended up putting a drywall screw through each end to make sure they stayed up--and one ended up slightly crooked because it stuck so firmly when we were positioning them for the screws. So your mileage may vary on adhesion! Otherwise perfect for the purpose.

I bought this for my classroom. It is a great way to provide extra space to display important papers. The slim design allows it to fit many different places. Very easy to hang!

The Quartet Bulletin Board Bar arrived very quickly from the seller in generic, but protective packaging.The package was a cardboard tube, which contained the board bar with cork pre-positioned within the railing, a tube of 5 or 6 tacks (forgot how many), 3 or 4 double-sided tape pieces, and 3 or 4 magnetic strips with adhesive on one side to mount to a magnetic surface.The idea of this strip is very nice, but very poorly executed. The cork insert is extremely thin. I did not measure, but the provided tacks did not even insert half way. I determined I would not be able to hang anything from this as the tacks just did not go in deep enough to provide a solid hanging mount.I did not use the double-sided tape or magnetic strips, but opted to drill 3 small holes (one on each end and one in the center) and threw a couple of screws into the holes. Unfortunately, it says the cork board does not crumble. Not true, it crumbled all to pieces when I drilled the holes. Obviously, that is a little thicker than thumb tacks, but it still crumbled miserably with the tiny drill bit I used.Again, this is a nice idea, but I would highly recommend making the cork board thicker to make it useful; otherwise, it is just a waste. Until they make the cork board thicker, I would not recommend this for use to utilize tacks in...maybe staples...that they may be too long too.

Exact size I need, but won’t stick to wall. I put it up three days ago and was super excited. Came in my office today, it (and my calendar that was thumb tacked to it) are on the floor. The sticky part that was supposed to hold it to the wall, obviously did not; but worse, pulled paint off with it when it fell. Now I either need to use Command strips to keep up (which I didn’t want to do) or don’t use at all AND repaint.

We used a bunch of these to hang up kids artwork in the hallway. It seems to work pretty well. I just used drywall screws to attach them to the wall studs and those blend in just fine. The little push pins included also worked fine.

Bought 3 sizes to get the exact length I wanted. Good quality, nothing i pinned has fallen off. Did not use the stickies that came with it so I can't say if those are Good. Used removable velcros from 3M to avoid damage to walls.
