Is this cool or lame? C&B memo board/frame

[thewop]

I found this while shopping for SIL. I kind of love it. I would put it by my backdoor. $40

I like it, but I don't now if I $40-lie it, you know?

It's cute. I don't really like the pictures in it - i'd probably honestly just diy my own little chalkboard out of a piece of wood or metal with some chalk paint.

This sounds weird, but it looks like it has a funny texture and would drive me crazy. That said, the idea is fantastic.

For $40, though ... ooof.

I guess it's okay. It's not really something that I'd get excited about, esp. for $40.

Huh....I guess I didn't $40 was that much money for that. I must be out of the loop as I haven't bought anything for the house besides paint in the last few years.

I would have a hard time finding photos that would fit right in it, I'm guessing it is a 4"x4" square, but I really couldn't tell since it doesn't give measurements. You also probably have to trim the picture which means that the remainder is lost if you ever want to put it somewhere different.

It is a neat concept, maybe not the best execution, but if you like it then go for it.
