This is almost an investment grade bulletin board. It's smooth but tough and won't disintegrate like typical cheap bulletin boards do. Most people won't even recognize this cork because of its beautiful colors and texture. Think of it more as an aesthetic wall covering with nice acoustical and thermal properties.
