A High-Tech Alternative to Screens
Vestaboard Message Board
The best thing about the Vestaboard is that, despite being a decidedly high-tech product, it's sleek and minimalistic. Featuring 132 customizable split-flap character slots, the device makes for a striking alternative to a standard digital display that’s guaranteed to put a smile on the face of everyone who sees it. It can display anything — from weather updates and live scores to personal messages.
Measuring 42 inches diagonally, the Vestaboard is great for large homes or open workspaces if you have the budget for it. You can control the device via a mobile or a web app.
