Can I use a dry erase marker on my planning board?

Is assembly required?

Does the Kitchen elevation kit allow for corner wrapped configurations?

• Kitchen Corner wrapped cabinets are not included in the Elevation Kit. Each wall must be planned separately. Use concealed cabinet magnets to plan space allowance of corner wrapped cabinets.
