Q: How do the letters attach?
A: Each character is a black acrylic tile on a clear backing that slides into one of the five raised rails on the board. Pick your letters, slide them in from the side, and they stay seated until you slide them out to change the message. No adhesive, no magnets.
Q: How many letters come with it?
A: 313 pieces in total — 162 letters, 87 numbers, and 64 symbols. The set weights the most-used characters heavily (12 each of A, E, and I; 15 nines) so you can spell out a full menu with prices and specials. Symbols include $ . , ! % & # + - / \ and @.
Q: Is it double-sided?
A: Yes. Both faces have the five letter rails, so you can run the same message on each side or a different one — useful when foot traffic comes from both directions.
Q: Can I use it outside?
A: Yes, for indoor and covered outdoor use — a doorway, entryway, or under an awning. It isn't built for sustained rain and direct sun the way our sealed illuminated signs are, so we don't recommend leaving it exposed in open weather for long stretches.
Q: How big is it, and how far away can it be read?
A: The board is 15.7" wide and 23.6" tall, with 2.36" (6 cm) letters. That reads clearly from a few feet away, which suits a counter, host stand, or entryway. If you need something legible from across a sidewalk or parking lot, our full-size A-Frame Sidewalk Sign is the better fit.
Q: What colors does it come in?
A: White or black. The white board ships with black letters, and the black board ships with white letters, so your menu stays high-contrast and easy to read either way.
Q: How does it fold and carry?
A: It folds flat at the top, and the solid wood handle rail doubles as a carry grip — lift it one-handed like a case and bring it in at the end of the day.
Q: Can I get my logo or a custom size?
A: The board ships blank, so you can take it to a local sign shop to add your logo yourself. For bulk orders we can print your logo before shipping — contact us and we'll set it up. For custom sizes, request a quote and we'll price it.
