I'm really pleased I chose this Backgammon set. It has a smart brown exterior with neat white stitching around the edges and good quality silver latches. The interior is covered in a good quality soft velvety material with the points having good contrast white and mid blue so very easy to see. The points are stitched on to the playing surface but the disks can still be easily pushed around the board with no problem. The disks themselves are quite thick substantial white and blue plastic and the right size for the board. The dice cups are brown immitation leather with soft felt interiors which look as if they'll last. The two sets of blue and white dice are good quality and the right size (1 doubling dice included).

I was swaying whether to buy this set or not as mixed reviews but wanted one that wasn't wood so that it didn't make an annoying noise when throwing the dice on it - especially if we were away in a hotel etc.Well.... I can honestly say I am delighted with it. The case is beautifully made (unlike some others which didn't lie flat), the stitching is perfect and the inside is gorgeous too. The checkers are blue and white and the points on the board are more teal and white. The box closes nicely so that it can be carried. I cannot fault it, and happy with Prime next day service. I learnt to play on 16 short videos on you tube by Ensor42 which are really simple to follow!Well done on a great mid

I own the 18" version of this board, and to be honest, it isn't that bad. Yes when I got it the seams stuck up a little, but just running the counter up and down it made it flush with the board. I find it a fantastic board, considering it isn't tournament prices it does feel like a tournament board - believe me I have used some questionable ones in my time! I mean come on! It is under £50! Please don't let the other reviews sway you, this is a quality board that deserves your attention before - like so many great cheap Backgammon suppliers before them - goes bust! Board games are dying, and this one is a great price for such a usable set!

A friend got one for Xmas and I was really pleased to find it on Amazon. At £38 a throw..however when the first one arrived it had the wrong number of dice.. there were two doubling dice and one blue one. But when I returned the set, the replacement arrived the very next day. Great service, Amazozn!The set is pretty impressive.. the faux leather gives it an expensive look and the base and 'leather' interior very tasteful. The leather die cups also very nice. All in all a pleasing product.Well worth the money.

Looks and feels the part. Stones are a nice weight. Color is nice. Love that it comes with nice lined cups and large dice (some don't).My only gripe is that the blue faux leather triangles are not as smooth as the white and thus the stones don't glide over them but have a little drag. I tried wiping furniture polish over them but still... tacky like. Perhaps with age and use they'll soften\smoothen up but i'm definitely just nitpicking here cus i love it.Well done Gibson.

Great quality. Amazing price for such good quality. Stitching is well done, and the case looks very stylish.Only slight gripes in that the pieces are not quite weighted enough (compared to slightly more expensive boards), and as usual with backgammon boards, the dice cups do not seem very durable and I can image the fabric slipping out after some time.Definitely still worth a buy though!

I purchased these backgammon boards for a group I am running on behalf of the U3A. There was a slight blip in delivery, when the boards were not delivered to me on the anticipated day, but a quick email to Amazon resolved the problem and they were only 1 day late (fault of the carrier in Spain). They are of excellent quality and everyone enjoys playing on them.

Bought this set for Christmas as a gift. The person I gave it to loved it, much better quality than the one we had some years ago. The inside has a velvety feel to it, and the strips come in fake leather, so the tiles don't slip away, something that happens often on a wood board.I think price-quality is very good here. And deliverd promptly.

I love playing backgammon and this set makes it even more enjoyable. It's in faux leather with a nice grey-blue-white internal finish. At 15", this board is also a good size for playing comfortably on any good-sized table. You get all the gear inside, including dice and dice cups for either player, counters and doubling cube.

Backgammon set was not delivered by Royal Mail...wrote this in my review and recieved an immediate and courteous reply from the seller (tinastoys}who despite the fact that the purchased item was now out of stock, replaced it with a more expensive set at their own expence. (thankfully not with royal mail} Very impressed.

This set looks good, and is well-constucted and sturdy. The "stones" have a solid feel to them and the soft background means that play is quiet - useful in a public area, like the pub! We carry the case around a lot, and it transports the set easily without throwing the contents everywhere. We're very pleased with it.

This is a really nice set. I got it as a present for my wife and she loves it. Everything is really attractive, well made and durable. The counters are glossy and the surface looks and feels great. The size is perfect too. If you think a nicer board wouldn't enhance your enjoyment of the game, think again. Good stuff!

Bought as a 60th birthday present. There was, unfortunately, a problem with the initial set sent, in that the"bar" created by the folded hinge side was not flat and made it extremely difficult to place tiles on. However a replacement set was sent immediately, at no extra charge.Definitely full marks for service.

I spent ages researching these to buy for my wife's birthday. So many reviews complained of poor build quality.Having used and played this board for a few months now I can say the build quality is all very good.The only poor thing I have noticed is a little buckling and rippling in the fabric of the main board

Good quality set.I have only two drawbacks;1. the stitches on top of the board itself which makes it difficult to "drag" the bolts smoothly.2. since the cubes are large, in my opinion they fit better to a 19'' boards and less to 15'' boards.Other then that, the set is very good and has a fancy look and feel.
