Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After spending HOURS trying to decide on whether I should spend $180-$200+ on one 8'x4' cork bulletin board, OR get eight of these and glue them together to get the same dimension, I went with these because: - Amazon Prime rocks; it's fast AND easy to return IF damaged. I've read so many other reviews of the larger sheets of cork board (and bulletin boards) coming in damaged and the manufacturer was a pain to deal with. Plus without Prime, a large 8x4' sheet would have taken the manufacturer till September 4th (over a week). - These being smaller and easier to pack, are less likely to be damaged. And I was right--they came in pristine condition! Now the second question everyone wondered was, are the sheets 1/4" or 1/8" thick? Well I was hoping to glue them together to make 1/2", but here is a photo of them stuck together with your everyday push pin (with ruler to measure). Together, it's just shy of 1/2" (notice the pin comes out the other end a bit!) so BE CAREFUL you don't push the pin too far or you'll have a small nick on your wall. Took off one star because of that. ***EDIT: SUPER GLUE DOESN'T WORK! It's too porous for the glue to remain on the surface; use Tacky Glue or 3M Double Sided tape (NOT Scotch Scrapbooking tape which is too weak!). ALSO: 3M Clear Removable Mounting Tape DOES NOT STICK TO THE CORK and will cause the board to fall off. Command Adhesive Poster Strips work better but STILL COMES OFF over time. Very frustrating, since buying all these mounting strips get pretty expensive when you need several packs. I'm going to try Command Picture Hanging strips which has the interlocking velcro-like teeth. ***UPDATE: 8-16-16*** Sorry guys. Command Picture Hanging strips peel off the corkboard within weeks, even putting four extra strength ones on each board. I ended up nailing each board to my wall; that was the only way they wouldn't warp or fall off with time. It might have saved me time and headache to have bought a giant 8' x 4' bulletin board that comes ready to hang... you can find them on Amazon easily.
