Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So when I ordered this I was expecting a much smaller washboard. Not that I wanted one, I just figured that for the super low price I'd be getting a small/ low quality one. Well when I got home my roomate(who washes his clothes at the laundromat!) had brought the washboard inside from the front porch and placed it at my door. The packaging was interesting, it was basically a large piece of cardboard, folded in half with the washboard inside, taped on all sides to keep the item from slipping or falling out. To my surprise the packaging really kept the washboard safe, and when I opened it up low and behold, the washboard was in absolutely PERFECT condition! It's made out of really solid and good quality wood, and is put together using not just nails, but notches to give added strength. Even though the dimensions are on the item info, it's hard to get an idea of how big it is. let me tell you, it's big(but not too big, don't worry) and is not a cheap low quality thing. This is a solid, well made, and effective washboard. I just used it today to do about 3 days of wash(I like to wash frequently to reduce load amount) and it really helped get some stains from the back of the collar of a white shirt out. For the most part there were not stains on my clothes besides that, but I could tell that scrubbing the clothes on this washboard(versus rubbing the clothing item on itself for friction) make the clothes cleaner and was easier on the fabric. Also with the added friction from the washing board I need less soap. To wrap it all up, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WASHBOARD to anyone who is considering it. It is awesome, trust me.
