Quartet Combination Magnetic Whiteboard Calendar & Corkboard 23x17 vs Excello Global Products 24"x36" Hanging Combo Cork and Dry Erase Board w/ Markers, Magnets and Pins

Buy the Quartet if you want a printed monthly calendar on the board and a compact size for a desk wall or small office. Buy the Excello if you need more writing and pinning space and prefer a plain split surface you format yourself. The Quartet's calendar layout saves setup time, but its 23x17 surface is small and it ships with only one marker and two magnets. The Excello gives you roughly twice the area, four markers, an eraser and pins, and mounts either way. Owners of both report the cork and steel hold up fine; the Quartet's espresso wood frame looks nicer, the Excello's hardware is more flexible.

• Choose the Quartet if you want a ready-made undated monthly calendar with a cork strip and a wood frame that fits a small wall.
• Choose the Excello if you want a larger plain cork-and-dry-erase board with markers, an eraser and pins included and the option to hang it vertically or horizontally.
