the box is a cube shaped box that barely holds all pieces--it is not a green felt lined box with cutouts for each piece as the picture shows--other than that it was an ok order--and I guess a good value for the price-- the pieces are a larger size but do not have alot of detail but then again the price was very low,,,,

I'm not sure why, but I was also expecting a board with the pieces. The pieces don't stay in the box as nicely as shown. The pieces are OK but not what was expected. Better sets out there for a similar price.
