I first must say that I did not buy this poker set from Amazon but found a used one at a local thrift store and paid about 1/10th the advertised price. I have thoroughly check this set out to make sure it is the same set being sold by Amazon. It is. I checked out at least 25 other sets on various sites and none matched except for this one so I feel very confident in my review of this set.

With all that said, I was extremely pleased and surprised when I opened up this case and viewed the contents. The chips (400 of them) are beautiful! I can't tell if they are made out of ceramic or very high quality plastic. Each chip has a hefty weight to it - 11.5 grams each. These chips are not like the other chips I saw in all the other sets. These seem very unique with tiny hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds decorating the inside edges on both sides. The outside edges have delicate little dots going all the way around each chip. I think they are very classy looking. Two packs of cards, 5 red dice with white dots, and a large, white "dealer chip" are also included. The cards are good quality - stiff enough and fairly plain on the backs.

Would I spend 100 dollars on this set if I were looking for a good set? I really don't know. I think this set is a bit unusual from the others but I've never physically seen the others so I can't honestly say. I am, however, very happy to have found this particular set. The aluminum case is hard and seems durable enough. With the chips inside, the case weighs about 13 lbs (bathroom scale). The chips are firmly held in place in their individual felt-lined troughs. I made the mistake of accidentally opening the case for the first time with it being upside down. Please be sure it is right-side up before opening or else the chips will come out of their troughs. Also, I tend to not use the handle on the case because though it seems to hold the case, it is made out of plastic and I'm not sure it can adequately hold 13 pounds. If it breaks, then it's possible all the chips will go everywhere so I just carry it in my arms.

I'm just fascinated with the chips themselves - very beautiful, especially the white ones. I can't wait to start using them!
