The Board Dudes Squeegee Eraser Color May Vary 3336

These markers look a little thick, the tip of them though writes very fine. I use a white board at home and make a list of my "monthly to do's." It keeps the house on track with all the major things that need to get knocked out that month. Having multiple colors makes it easy to keep track of. I admit that there are 2 teal-esque colors that are very similar, as well as 2 pink like colors that are very similar. If you're hoping to have 16 very distinct and different colors for a reason, that will not be the case as of the similarities.My brown marker came damaged. The opposite side was fine, however it appeared that the machine that capped them put the brown marker cap on backwards. I did not notice the issue until the first time I went to use them. The cap had been broken, the tip of the brown marker was flattened, and dried out. I contacted customer service rather than filing an exchange due to how light weight the item is, I wasn't sure if it would be worth it for them to eat the cost of the return item as well as replace it. They told me to keep the markers, and they were sending out a full replacement set, even though only 1 marker was damaged! So, the customer service I received on the product was great and they certainly went above and beyond to make sure I got what I paid for!

I have had these about 3 months and they are still going strong. My husband thought that they were a little blue heavy. You can tell a difference between the blues, but after a while your eyes just see blue. I still enjoy them though.I mainly use them to study on my little dry erase board. I have had a couple of professors borrow mine during class. Since these markers are med point, my professors wrote large and most people could read the board in a 100+ classroom.If and when these dry up, I will most likely order the same ones again.Update: 2-23-13Just had my second marker dry up. All of the rest are still working great. While I may not use them daily, they do get used weekly. My first one to dry out was the black/red one but during class I lent it to a professor and they left it uncapped the entire class. I don't think they realized that it was double sided and so didn't notice they left the cap off. I am still very happy with my markers, especially looking back at how many times they were used and not just by me.

I bought a set of these double ended markers over a decade ago and they were good. After being disappointed with the markers I bought for my newest dry erase calendar I decided to give these a try again. The opacity isn't consistent across the different colors and some of the colors don't match the cap - "black" looks dark brown, "dark brown" is greenish gray, and the goldenrod type color has bright orange ink. I'll use them until they dry up but 8 don't plan to rebuy.

These markers are a waste of money. We moved into new offices last year and purchased 4 sets of these. We opened two sets and put 2 sets in the cabinet. The caps on these markers are VERY difficult to remove, but they're useless. The markers dry out with very little use and the caps left on. We went through the first two sets, and pulled out one of the ones that was still packaged in our supply cabinet and it was all dried out too. I would NOT buy these products again.

These markers are great. Granted, if you are purchasing them to use in a classroom setting, I wouldn't recommend them. The colors and fun and bright but since the tip isn't that big the lines it makes for writing wouldn't be able to be seen from long distances, like you need in a classroom. I bought these markers to use for a small whiteboard for my college dorm. They're perfect for illustrating fun cartoons on the doors (right now I have Zazu from 'The Lion King') and all the people in my hall love them. They don't smell and with the double-sided markers you get twice the amount of fun colors to use! I recommend these markers! Also, when I first purchased them through Amazon.com, one of the markers was completely dried out, which was a bit disappointing. I contacted the manufacturer of the markers and they were extremely nice and courteous! They sent me a new package of markers within the next few days!!

These pens were exactly what I needed. I color coordinate team plans daily at work and I wanted something affordable that would still produce. These came with more colors I can even use sometimes and it is really nice that the markers are double sided so they fit in a smaller pouch instead of taking double the space if they made every color an individual marker. I was pleased with each color's saturation (even the yellow) but I will say that there are two sets of colors that look very similar. There are two blues and one the oranges and the brown that are nearly indistinguishable. Does this keep me from loving the set? No since there are SO MANY colors to choose from. I am not at a point where I can comment on long-lasting durability since I have only used them for a couple of months but none of them are drying out, they are not fraying and they all still write with the fine point I was looking for (or thinker if I turn the marker sideways). Great purchase - I feel like I got my money's worth even if they died this week.*Addition later same day: I was reading reviews I see there are many teachers shopping for products like this. The tips of these pens are very fine and I would not recommend them for a large classroom setting. I use them on a small product planner (15" x 10") for a team of 10 to view at a close setting. They are also great for a dry-erase calendar.
