The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | No unnecessary packaging waste, lots of plastic to protect the product components | 90 points |
| Package contents & scope | Whiteboard | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | Self-explanatory product, no instructions for use required | 100 points |
| Total | 95 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The packaging of the GOODS+GADGETS® whiteboard was appropriate and the box provided sufficient protection for the product. Unfortunately, a lot of plastic was used to protect the product, which could be improved in terms of sustainability.
The scope of delivery included the whiteboard measuring 60 x 90 cm, with a practical pen tray integrated. The frame of the whiteboard is made of lightweight aluminum and the board itself has a robust plastic coating.
Detailed operating instructions were not required as the whiteboard is intuitive and self-explanatory to use.

Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | Attractive design | 100 points |
| Processing | Good workmanship | 90 points |
| Stability | Frame quality could be more stable | 90 points |
| Sustainability of the product | Satisfaction guarantee, multiple use | 90 points |
| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The whiteboard makes a visually appealing impression. It is relatively light, which could give some customers the impression that it lacks stability. However, the workmanship is good overall and the hard-wearing surface serves its purpose. The manufacturer’s sustainability claims could be clearer, but the satisfaction guarantee and the possibility of multiple use offer some compensation.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Writing surface | Smooth writing surface, easy to write on, easy to clean | 100 points |
| Size | 60 x 90 cm, very generously sized | 100 points |
| Magnetic adhesion | Magnets hold securely and stably | 100 points |
| Frame quality | Could be more stable | 80 points |
| Assembly | Very simple, both hangers are permanently installed on the frame and can be moved | 100 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Our practical test of the whiteboard from GOODS+GADGETS® has produced various findings that underline the manufacturer’s promises.
The smooth writing surface enables a fluid writing experience and the writing can be easily wiped off. However, it was noticed that some users did not immediately recognize that the surface is protected by a thin protective film, which was not explicitly mentioned.
The generous size of the whiteboard of 60×90 cm is very positive. This size makes it possible to attach a variety of notes and magnets to the board or to write on it. The excellent magnetic adhesion proved to be very useful, as the magnets stuck securely to the board without slipping.
However, the quality of the frame could be improved. The aluminum frame could be bent with some force. A more stable and robust frame construction would be desirable.
On the positive side, the two suspensions permanently attached to the frame can be moved. This allows existing nails or screws to be used for wall mounting, which makes it easier to mount the whiteboard.
Overall, the whiteboard delivers what the manufacturer promises. The smooth writing surface, generous dimensions and good magnetic adhesion make it a useful tool for meetings, brainstorming sessions and presentations. However, an improvement in the frame quality would be desirable in order to further increase stability and durability. Nevertheless, the two sliding hangers are a successful detail that makes wall mounting easier and leaves a positive impression.

and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
