fine

This is a good quality, well designed and elegant Go set at a reasonable price. It is folds up compactly when not in use.

Very nice set, seems well made but only time will tell on that. Marked it down by two stars due to the fact that one of the things that really makes me angry is when an item is NOT exactly as shown in the pictures. This item definitely shows the board with a raised edge that would help to keep the stones on the board. The one I have been sent has no such edge and I really believe that it is misleading to supply a product that is different to the one advertised. A pity as this means I would not recommend this supplier as 100%. I will keep 5his item as I just can’t be bothered to go through all the hassle of returning it

It may be a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it. The board is beautiful and easy to play on. The package arrived on time and the board was wrapped very safely so it didn't have a single scratch. The board is big and heavy, so it might be unsuited as a travel game but its perfect for playing at home. Oh, and it even came with a broschure "The way to Go" which eyplains the game so that even beginners can understand it.

I recently became interested in the game of Go, and played it on the computer for a while. I wanted to upgrade to a real board, but all of the fancy boards are incredible expensive, and initially all of the sets in my price range (under $50 - let's remember it's a board game) were small and of cheap materials. I found this one through a recommendation by the above user, and it lived up to its good review. The board is big: it's not one of those cramped sets that look big online but disappoint in person. This one is the real regulation size, and is visually appealing. It is relatively lightweight and allows a good amount of wiggle room to place the pieces. It has a nice gold striping on the surface that is very slightly raised. The pieces are of a good weight and are very tough. They have a texture similar to that of smooth stone, and feel good to hold while you're thinking about the next move. They store in the convenient felt boxes that then fit inside the board for travel. If you're like me and looking for a low-cost solution that won't disappoint, then this is a wise choice. Everything you need to play immediately, including a good rulebook in a quiz-style learning format, is included, and the price is great. The board arrived on the fifth day after my order, with free shipping, actually sooner than I expected. It was undamaged save for a few marks in the gold striping which are hardly noticeable. I deducted one star for durability because the stripes seem exposed and might accidentally be damaged when carrying the board, since they are silk-screened paint on the smooth surface, but this is nothing a soft towel or case won't prevent. Overall, the set was better than I expected and a buy that left me satisfied.

Comprato per mio figlio, è arrivato con il piano irregolare e l'ho restituito, comprandone un altro modello. Peccato perché era veramente bello.

My coworker and I decided that we wanted to start playing Go over lunch. Neither of us had ever played before, so we needed some equipment. Since I would be bringing it to work I needed something portable and fairly inexpensive; but since one of the reasons we wanted to start playing go was because of its aesthetic qualities, I didn't want to just use a cheap roll-up mat or something. I hunted around on Amazon and found this. The reviews were positive and it was eligible for Amazon Prime so I ordered it. When it arrived, I emailed my girlfriend: this is an astoundingly high quality board for the price! It's made of solid, good looking wood. The bottom of the board and the trays are lined with nice velvet or felt (I'm not smart enough to know which). The playing surface is glossy black with a golden grid painted on it. The stones feel good in the hand (though I wish they were just a bit heavier). And it even smells good: like nice wooden furniture. The next day, while actually playing, my enthusiasm waned only a little when I discovered that the grid is not painted on perfectly straight. It's slightly crooked so that the center line starts on one side of the folding-edge and ends up on the other side. This doesn't distract from play at all, but it does explain why the board is so affordable. Playing a stone with normal force doesn't produce a satisfy click, but it doesn't detract from the game too much. This is an excellent portable set and, at the price, is also a good beater. If it gets damaged or stolen, you probably won't care like you would for one of the more expensive sets. I think this set hits the sweet spot on the price/quality curve. I'd definitely recommend it.
