I’ve been using this writing slate for a month now, and I’m extremely satisfied with its performance. The size is perfect for my writing needs, and the Quick release mechanism is a game-changer. I no longer waste time trying to get the paper out.
Hannah Tan –
I used the Problue AC-36-1A Writing Slate w/ Pencil Lead for my daily note-taking, and I must say it’s a great tool. The size is perfect, not too big or too small. I love the quick release feature, it makes it easy to erase and reuse. The pencil lead is also of good quality, it doesn’t break easily. My only minor complaint is that the slate seems a bit flimsy, but it’s not a major issue.

What’s the difference between the Problue AC-36-1A and the Problue AC-36-1B writing slate? Are they made of the same material?
Imran Hanafiah –
Dear Wendy, thank you for reaching out to us regarding the differences between our Problue AC-36-1A and Problue AC-36-1B writing slates. After double-checking, we found that Problue AC-36-1A and Problue AC-36-1B are both our best-selling slates, but they have slight differences in design and size. The Problue AC-36-1A has a quick release feature and is slightly smaller in size compared to the Problue AC-36-1B. As for the material, both slates are made of high-quality wood and have a smooth, durable writing surface. The pencil lead included with the Problue AC-36-1A and Problue AC-36-1B is also of the same quality. If you have any further questions or would like to know more about the differences, please feel free to ask.

This writing slate has a fantastic robust design, the side of the writing board is good width to hold an A4 paper of approximately 4 inches or greater. I’m using it daily now.
Alice Ong –
I’m impressed with the Problue AC-36-1A Writing Slate w/ Pencil Lead’s performance. The pencil lead is smooth and easy to use. However, I wish it had a lid to protect the lead when not in use. Overall, it’s a great product!
Elizabeth Tan –
I have encountered a few issues with the quality of the pencil lead provided. Some of the leads were too soft and kept smudging my writing.
Emily Seah –
Can I replace the pencil lead with my own lead? Does the Problue AC-36-1A have a specific lead size?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question about the Problue AC-36-1A Writing Slate! Yes, you can replace the pencil lead with your own. The specific lead size is not explicitly stated in our product description, but based on customer feedback and reviews, our pencil lead is similar in size to the standard #2 pencil size. However, for the best results, we recommend using a lead with a diameter of 2.5mm or 0.1 inches. This will ensure a smooth and consistent writing experience. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Joshua Lee –
I’m a bit disappointed with the Problue AC-36-1A’s build quality. It feels flimsy and cheap. The quick release feature is nice, but it’s not enough to make up for the subpar design. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

How do you suggest cleaning the ink smudges off the surface of the writing slate?
Imran Hanafiah –
We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing ink smudges on your Problue AC-36-1A Writing Slate. To clean the surface, we recommend using a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the slate in a circular motion, then dry it with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, you can also try using a specialized dry erase marker cleaner. If the issue persists, please reach out to us directly so we can assist further.
