text: The chalk is chalk, looks like it will match or blend in well with my black table. The main reason I gave it only three stars was because whoever packed this missed the class on packing chalk so it doesn't roll around the freaking box. It looks rough to me on a few pieces but I will live! I did at least get the original box and not a freezer bag...lmao! Will see how it plays later tonight while retaking my crown from my son!
