I got this about a year ago. Used on a glass door, cleaned it with alcohol first. The adhesive is not great. Lasted only a day before everything fell off the glass. It can usually be stuck back on (unless it gets dirty, then it's done), but it's just not strong enough to stay put when in use. With teens or older kids it may be fine, but it's going to take some patience re-attaching everything multiple times.
I personally would not bother with it again.

Thought this was magnetic (for the fridge), but it uses adhesive. A few complaints about the lack of stickiness.

Interesting... going to get the set and see if I can remove the adhesive and replace with magnets somehow (or just get round magnets and stick it to the adhesive area... and use it that way). We have a metal whiteboard, which would work perfectly with this set.... if it used magnets.

Anyone who has this... are you able to tell me the diameter of the area that has the adhesive? Want to see what size round magnets I would need to find.
