I actually bought three of these and removed the tiles from two, so that I had a pure white board and a pure black board. It took about thirty minutes of double teaming the tiles with a fork and screwdriver to rip them out. It's not as easy as I would like.

That must have scratched and dented them to hells and back!

You better believe it. One wound up more cracked than the other, but the tiles do a nice job to cover the dents up.

Just ordered 4. Hey, gotta take advantage of 'em while they're there, plus I didnt want to pay $25 shipping for one, so paid $35 for 4. I dont think i'll try taking apart the boards, I guess they go for $5 on eBay??
Too much Lego, is never enough.

He didn't just order one set, but two, and gave one to me;
Yesterday he came over to show the set (i thought), but when i opened the lid of the box, there was a note that said:
Congratulations on your examination and thanks for the help with our wedding. I was totally surprised.
That was awesome of you. Thank you sirJakob.
You are the best.
