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.

Deep Research
Real-world use as moodboard and planner
- The 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; this range effectively makes the same product into two different decorative tools depending on the shade chosen.
- At 2 inches deep, the board projects from the wall with a pronounced shadow gap that reads as an intentional architectural feature rather than a simple hanging panel — 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.
- The included paper stencil maps out the four keyhole mounting points at full scale, removing the trial-and-error that heavy wall objects normally impose — 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.
- Since the magnetic surface holds multiple sheets securely, users often build up layered collages of overlapping photos, calendars, and notes, creating a three-dimensional arrangement that turns the board into an evolving 'living' artwork rather than a static display — this is a key differentiator from thin magnetic sheets that can only support a single layer.
- With a 33.5-inch height and 21-inch width, the board's 1.6:1 aspect ratio is close to a standard photographic enlargement, 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 — this adaptability means it won't look forced in either orientation.
How the powder-coated finish holds up over time
- The Storyboard shares its powder-coated finish with Mustard's locker line — a finish that fuses into a hard, scratch-resistant shell far tougher than solvent-based paint, so the metal underneath stays protected from the abrasion of magnet application and removal even after years of use.

Documents & Data
Q&A
4 answered- What is the weight of the board?
- The Storyboard weighs 3.6 kg (approximately 7.9 lbs) [1].
- How strong is the magnetic surface? Will it hold multiple sheets of paper or heavier items like a small calendar?
- Yes, the magnetic surface is quite strong. One reviewer mentioned that "the button magnets are really strong so holds multiple layers of card/paper very securely" [1]. It should easily hold a small calendar.
- How does the Ochre Yellow or Mint color look in real life compared to the product photos?
- Some customers have noted that colors can appear duller in person compared to online photos. For example, one reviewer of the Mustard color said it "was not as bright / pastel as It looks online. It looks duller in person" [1]. 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.
- What type of mounting hardware is required? Are there keyhole slots on the back or does it need to be drilled through?
- The board has four keyhole-style slots on the back for wall mounting. You only need to secure two screws at the top to hang it. The screws should have a head no larger than 8mm and a thread no larger than 4.5mm [1]. Wall fixings are not included, so you'll need to supply your own suitable for your wall type.
