Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just took it out of the package. I started on my flashcards and tried to erase the writing and it smeared everywhere. Did NOT erase cleanly. I actually looked to make sure my marker was a dry erase marker...but no matter what marker I used I am left with writing all over the board. Words cannot describe how crappy this product is. It's as if this is no dry erase coating on the board at all. Maybe I got a defective product?
