Should I use a whiteboard or a chalkboard?

Whiteboards (dry-erase) have almost entirely replaced chalkboards in modern commercial environments. Chalk creates dust (problematic for electronics, allergies, and air quality), is harder to erase completely, and lacks the colorful marking capability of dry-erase markers. Chalkboards are still preferred in some traditional educational settings for their reduced glare and the tactile writing experience. For virtually all commercial office applications — conference rooms, training rooms, reception areas — a whiteboard is the appropriate choice. Call OfficeFurniture2go.com at 1-800-460-0858.
