Whiteboards & Display Boards — Expert Answer

Can a whiteboard be used effectively in a waiting room or lobby?

A whiteboard in a waiting room or lobby works well for: displaying wait times, today's schedule, announcements, or directional information that changes frequently. It's more affordable to update than printed signage and faster to change than a digital display. For a professional appearance, use a glass whiteboard or a well-framed porcelain board — standard melamine boards in a lobby or waiting area look institutional and cheap. Write-on, wipe-off signs on glass or porcelain boards look intentional and polished. Clean the board before each business day — smudges and old information left on a lobby board create a poor first impression. For appointment-heavy practices (medical offices, salons), a date-labeled board with the day's schedule manages patient expectations well. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
