Product review (4 stars): Good Value, But Needs a Little Sprucing Up
I'd say the quality of the board/case is average to good. About what you'd expect for the price. It's a pretty good find at this level of board. It is straight and not warped and the magnetic closure is cool. The wood is slightly rough in places, a little thin, and walnut is the trim elements -- points and front and back the case -- not the majority the case. Again, about the quality you'd expect for the price. Not wonderful, but above average for the price.

The pieces, dice, doubling cube, and dice cups, are below average. This is the second time I've bought a board at this level and both times I've ended up replacing elements. But with this board I will be replacing everything except, possibly, the doubling cube. This takes off a star.

Pieces: All 15 pieces, brown and white were present, so good. But basically it looks like they sliced up a wood dowl and stained it. Rudimentary. Rough. I changed these out immediately.

Dice: The dice included were 2 different sizes: 15 and 16mm. Both sizes are too large to fit into the storage area. And they are too large to use with the dice cups. They are so large in the cup that they don't jumble around and the pips remain stationary. I would be concerned about unfair rolls. So, I'll be changing them out for 14mm dice. This is the size of dice usually included with a board of this size (15"). Also 15-16mm is a lot of dice to be rolling in between pieces. Using these I'd see lots of cocked die calls in my future, LOL.

Dice cups: the description said vinyl cups, but these are wood. Which would be nice, but they are small and don't have an interior lip to flip the dice as the dice come out. Again, I'd be concerned about unfair rolls with these, so I'll be playing with another set that I have.

Doubling cube: the doubling cube is 16mm which is a nice size for a 15" board. It's a nice creamy white and the numbers are clear and are in a font that looks hand drawn. Who knows, maybe they are hand drawn, LOL. I'll probably keep this part of the set.

All and all a nice, rugged but presentable board to use for messy pizza lunches at work, with some fun loud dice rolls. Lots of detractors, but still a good find.
