Great quality checker board game by Melissa and Doug. Leather strap holds pieces. The only suggestion I would make to improve this toy is make the red pieces a little brighter (very dark; sometimes hard to differentiate the red and black pieces).

Liked the storage idea- got it for a child learning to play checkers. VERY difficult to distinguish between the red and black checkers, believe it or not!! The red is a VERY dark red- Good for a decorative wall hanging, not so great for playing with.

Overall this is a nice checker board set. My red colored checkers are very dark and hard to tell from the black checkers. I bought paint to add some "real" red color so we could tell the difference. It is easy to thread the checker back onto the rope. However, we never do b/c it takes too much time. Also the board does not fold- so it is large if you want to store away. I use the checker board as a "tray" and rest it on the ottoman near my two reading chair. It looks beautiful and prompts us to play more often.
