I could never get a straight answer about the melamine. Some people claimed it had bad ghosting, others said it was fine. Also the people at Lowes had NO IDEA what I was talking about when I tried to find it. (That was an exercise in futility!)


Short answer: yes, it ghosts. But it's not that bad.

Certain markers are better than others. And rubbing alcohol or other strong cleaners will clean it up pretty well.

At $12 for 4'x8' it's hard to go wrong if you're on a budget. You could even replace it every so often once the ghosting gets bad.


I've done melamine white boards several times and they always ghost.
