Product Description

There are times when a finely crafted game set can masquerade as an expensive piece of furniture when it's sitting on the shelf. Oozing sophistication with its art deco inlaid case and inlaid wood game board, this set will brighten up any room. The cups and playing surface are made of solid wood, and the surface of the board is made from an inlaid pattern created from several types of wood. The checkers are made of heavy fiberglass for a heftier solid feel. Two hidden inset magnets keep the backgammon case closed when not playing.

I'm impressed with the quality of this game board and pieces. It appears that all parts are real wood and veneers and the exterior satin finish is very good. Even the cups are made of wood! The brass-colored hinges are a bit light and the walnut and mahogany veneered points don't offer as much color contrast as painted or fabric surfaces, but those are extremely picky criticisms for what is a heck of a good backgammon set for the price. The set has a very nice upscale look whether open or closed.

Most of the games I saw were around 70 dollars but this one is about 30. This game is wooden, it has hand carved cups and nice large pieces. The dice are nice. The only issues I have are that the board is very light, which could be good or bad depends, I like a heavy one but this is still well made. The only other issue is that the colors are not very easily distinguished. Yet for the price I paid and the way it is made it is all in all a very good game. I would recommend rather than blowing 70 dollars or more on a game that will be about the same but just extremely overpriced. I really like it and we have played it and seem to have no problems so far. I would tell others to buy it!

I have to say, I love this board. It is beautiful! The wood grains are unbelievable. Its stayed in great shape and it wonderful quality. The one issue I would say is that on our board where white should be the dark color starts. And where the dark points start it should start white per all the Backgammon books. But really it doesn't change anything, but its not perfect. But for the price and craftsmanship that the board is, I would buy it again and again.
