Product Insights
The Storyboard Colourful Magnetic Board is a powder-coated steel board with strong button magnets that securely hold multiple layers of paper, enabling buyers to create evolving 3D collages as living artwork. Its 2-inch depth accommodates bulky items like clipboards or succulents. Available in five colors, but Ochre and Mint appear duller in person than online photos, mitigated by offered color swatches. Installation requires screws of specific dimensions and anchors for its 3.6kg weight, with a paper stencil included for solo setup.
- Layering
Strong button magnets hold multiple layers of paper securely.
Why this is supported
Verified through customer Q&A:
the button magnets are really strong so holds multiple layers of card/paper very securely
How strong is the magnetic surface? Will it hold multiple sheets of paper or heavier items like a small calendar?This distinguishes the board from thin magnetic sheets; as noted in research,
this is a key differentiator from thin magnetic sheets that can only support a single layer
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — layered_magnetic_displays.
- Living artwork
Buyers create evolving 3D collages that act as living artwork.
Why this is supported
Real-world use reported by one user describes
creating a three-dimensional arrangement that turns the board into an evolving 'living' artwork rather than a static display
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — layered_magnetic_displays.
- Depth
At 2 inches deep, the board accommodates bulky layered items like clipboards or small succulents.
Why this is supported
One review notes that
this depth also accommodates slightly bulkier items like a small clipboard or a tiny potted succulent without them tipping forward or looking out of place
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — 2_inch_box_depth.
- Finish
Powder-coated steel resists scratches from magnet and paper adjustments.
Why this is supported
Research confirms that the thermoset powder-coated finish ensures
the metal underneath stays protected from the abrasion of magnet application and removal even after years of use
How the powder-coated finish holds up over time — thermoset_powder_coating.
- Color palette
Five colors (Slate Grey, White, Mint, Ochre, Red) suit tonal and accent decor.
Why this is supported
The board's color palette spans from muted neutrals to saturated accents, enabling two decorative roles:
palette spans from muted Slate Grey and White — which can blend into a tonal Scandinavian workspace — to high-saturation Mint, Ochre, and Red that transform the board into a deliberate pop of colour on a gallery wall
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — colour_curationThe colors are part of Mustard's signature aesthetic and coordinate with other Mustard products for a cohesive room look.
- Color accuracy
Ochre Yellow often looks duller than online photos; swatches available.
Why this is supported
Buyers report that the Ochre Yellow variant can appear less bright than online photos:
was not as bright / pastel as It looks online. It looks duller in person
How does the Ochre Yellow or Mint color look in real life compared to the product photos?Mustard addresses this by offering color swatches for Ochre Yellow and Mint:
order a colour swatch from Mustard Made to see the actual shade before purchasing
How does the Ochre Yellow or Mint color look in real life compared to the product photos?- Colour vibrancy
Bold colours like Mint and Ochre appear duller in person than in online photos.
Why this is supported
A verified buyer reports that the colour
was not as bright / pastel as It looks online. It looks duller in person
How does the Ochre Yellow or Mint color look in real life compared to the product photos?This applies to the Ochre and Mint variants. The product description lists these shades as
high-saturation Mint, Ochre, and Red that transform the board into a deliberate pop of colour
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — colour_curation. In contrast, the muted colours (Slate Grey, White) are described as
muted Slate Grey and White — which can blend into a tonal Scandinavian workspace
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — colour_curation, so they are less likely to cause disappointment on colour accuracy.
- Colour swatch
Colour swatches are offered for Ochre and Mint to preview actual shade.
Why this is supported
To preview the actual colour,
If you're concerned about Ochre Yellow or Mint, you might order a colour swatch from Mustard Made to see the actual shade before purchasing.
How does the Ochre Yellow or Mint color look in real life compared to the product photos?- Mounting
Mounting needs screws head ≤8mm, thread ≤4.5mm and anchors for 3.6kg.
Why this is supported
The keyhole system requires two top screws with specific dimensions:
The screws should have a head no larger than 8mm and a thread no larger than 4.5mm
What type of mounting hardware is required? Are there keyhole slots on the back or does it need to be drilled through?. At 3.6 kg, the board's mass means the screws must be anchored into a stud or rated drywall anchor.
the board's 3.6 kg mass
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — paper_mounting_stencil- Installation
Weighs 3.6 kg and includes a paper stencil for solo installation.
Why this is supported
The board's weight of 3.6 kg is confirmed by the manufacturer:
The Storyboard weighs 3.6 kg (approximately 7.9 lbs)
What is the weight of the board?. This weight, combined with its 33.5-inch width, makes solo alignment of keyhole slots over wall screws challenging, but the included paper stencil mitigates this:
given the board's 3.6 kg mass and the need to align keyholes over a 33.5-inch span, this detail dramatically reduces the chance of a crooked install
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — paper_mounting_stencil. Additionally, the stencil eliminates trial-and-error. However, buyers should note that mounting hardware (specific screws with head ≤8mm and thread ≤4.5mm) and wall anchors rated for 3.6 kg are not included, requiring a trip to the hardware store.
- Proportion
The 33.5 x 21 board feels naturally balanced in either orientation.
Why this is supported
The 33.5" x 21" board has a 1.6:1 aspect ratio,
allowing it to feel naturally proportioned whether hung horizontally as a panoramic weekly spread or vertically as a tall daily planner in a narrow entryway
Real-world use as moodboard and planner — dual_orientation_flexibilityThis balance suits it for typical desk widths and narrow wall spaces.
