I received my bulletin board within a reasonable time frame but the packaging was horrible! It came in a thin cardboard sheath that was mostly torn open by the time it got to me - no cushions except at the corners of the board. Luckily, the board survived but there was no mounting hardware. My guess is that they did not attach it in any way and the hardware probably fell out of the torn box. Bad shipping practices. The wood trim is plastic not wood. No mention of this in the description. It looks nice though and given the very reasonable price, I can live with that. Aesthetically, it's nice. The cork is dense and holds pins well. The longer style actually pushes out of the back but the frame holds it away from the wall so there is no contact between the pin and the wall. All in all, given the reasonable price, the nice looks and functionality of it, I'm happy. Just wish I knew how to mount it without damaging the plastic frame!
