Overall this is a very nice backgammon set, not too big, not too small. My wife and I play on a regular basis and wanted a set that looked nice. This fit the bill. The only downside to this set is that it only comes with 15 pieces of each color so if you lose one you will be short. I've seen others that come with 16 pieces just in case. A nice set though for the price and we are very happy with our purchase.

There's nothing deluxe about this backgammon set. It's made of the cheapest, smelliest vinyl they could find. Even the spots where the pieces go on the board are cheap vinyl!! My set has spots where the stitching is loose and places where the fabric on the inside of the board is coming loose and it was that way brand new out of the box. It's a mess and the only reason I didn't return it was because in the end I would lose money because of the shipping cost. Please don't waste your money on this set!!!!! Also, the dice are the size of peas. The board smells so bad that my daughter doesn't even like to use it. The only positive thing I can say is that I like the little size because it would be easy to transport.

I have had this set for about a month now, and I could not be happier. I play backgammon with my girlfriend as often as we can make time, and we found it to be ideal in every circumstance.

The pieces are a solid and tile-like, the case looks and feels like leather, and the board itself is felt. The only downside is that the 4 outermost lines on the board that you put the pieces on are a bit covered by the tile holders. All the same, while the pieces on those lines may careen over to the adjacent lines, it really has no effect on the game.

Great price, great set. Could not ask for more.

I read the reviews before purchasing this product and thought maybe people were just expecting too much. However, when I received my order, I fully agreed with other reviews. The dice are the size of a pea (literally). The game box and pieces are definitely small. I have a nice backgammon game, but have literally worn it out playing it, so was hoping to replace it with something similar. This was not it! I did not return it because it would cost me shipping, but definitely not something I would have bought if I had seen it first.

I purchased this product and received it the other day. Upon opening I discovered that the craftsmanship is extremely poor. The red and white lanes for placing the chips are not evenly placed which adds to confusion while moving your pieces. The sowing of the colored lanes is poor and will start falling apart quickly. Further, the middle part of the set is uneven so you are unable to place a bumped piece there. Save your money and get a different product.

Great toy Smaller then I expected but wonderful!! Travel sized:) very happy with everything. I got this toy for my uncle and he was extatic. It looks like a small suitcase when it's closed. It has a very nice plush exterior.

I was disappointed in the craftsmanship, however its ok for the buck. You get what you pay for! If you are looking for something bigger and classier this is not it.
