I bought two of these: one for each side of my French door refrigerator. Yes, it was difficult to put them up without bubbles. The first one, my husband and I put up and carefully worked out most of the bubbles. I put the second one up much more quickly, with more bubbles. We both did some unpeeling and resticking with no problems, no rips, no tears. Functionally, as a writing board, both of our sides worked just fine despite the bubbles from the start. Over time, the bubbles are disappearing: after about two months there are no bubbles left on the first side and only a few on the second side. As for erasing, yes once the marks have been there for a while, they become difficult to erase. I use eraser board cleaner periodically and it wipes the boards perfectly clean, they look like new again. I've only used a black marker so far, but have been told that other colors are more likely to make permanent stains (on any eraser board). I'm extremely happy with the product. It has become "Command Central" for our house. We record messages on them. I record the contents of our fridge, freezer, and pantry on them. I make meal plans on them. We make grocery lists on them as we use items up. Then as we leave to go to the store, we take a photo of the list with our phones and shop from it. We can even text each other a photo of the list if we forget.I was really excited when I got this in the mail. I cut my circles and squares and posted them around my house where I knew I always needed to have To-Do Lists or reminders. However, after I made my first list and then wanted to erase it to start over, the dry erase marker just smeared over the sheet. It didn't come completely off. I haven't tried using a dry erase cleaner, but that would require another purchase. So as of right now, they seem only good for one use. The bubbles are a bit annoying to get out, but with a lot of patience it can be done.Item arrived bent and box slightly open when I took out dry erase adhesive it was wrinkled and bent out of shapeperfect. You have to work at erasing the colors that are hard to erase generally (blues, reds) if you leave the message on too long., but that's easily solved by writing over the stuck-on writing with another pen and then wiping.I rarely write reviews. That's how mad I am for buying TWO quantities of this product...since I thought it would be so cool. Unless you're talking about a very small space for application (5in x 5in or less), it is next to impossible to apply this decal without a ton of air-bubbles. Once you try smoothing out bubbles (which is a long process of removing and reapplying), it either forms permanent wrinkles or rips. Both happened to me and I gave up and threw away. Horrible product!All of roommates decals are amazing and excellent quality.The whiteboard surface is of good quality and you can easily write and erase what you want. Very convenient to put it on a fridge with magnet-attached pens and eraser.However it's pretty much impossible to apply it without messing up and making bubbles and folds. Me and a roommate were very patient while applying it but the final quarter of the surface that we applied was impossible to flatten and became somewhat torn. Still, the whiteboard is pretty big, so three quarters is enough for us.Also the whiteboard comes with a pen, but it leaves black traces when erased with a dry eraser. Do not use it.i usually like this brand but this product ended up ripping when i tried to take it off to re-position it. i ended up keeping it but it looks bad.update: tried to remove it to change rooms but it ripped all up and had to be thrown outSeriously this lived up to my expectations and more. The dry erase surface cleans off better and easier than the store bought one I have and I am loving this product.I love these sheets, however when trying to erase writing from them is difficult.Vous devez utiliser seulement le crayon fournit.
