Me and my girlfriend started out playing Scrabble on a cardboard Edition, and soon found out we really enjoyed the game.We upgraded after a while to the Prestige Edition and really loved it because of the extra finesses, like a raised letter grid so the tiles stay in place, the turntable base for easy scanning from all directions and the nice wooden finish of the tiles and the cabinet.All this brought a new level of enjoyment to the game for us, so we decided after a while to upgrade again from our beloved Presitge Edition to this, the Luxury Edition, and we have not regretted it one second!!The cabinet is the same good quality wood finish from the Prestige Edition,

I ordered this because my father's eyesight isn't what it used to be and I thought the standard Scrabble set might be a problem for him. The larger-sized board and playing pieces are not just easier to read but less fiddly to handle, and the set has become a favourite with all of us who use it, not just those with poor eyesight.The tiles are wooden and nicely tactile and chunky. The racks are also made of wood. The playing board is thick card which folds into quarters along reinforced hinges. It looks strong enough to endure plenty of hard use. The tile bag is green cloth. A nice touch is the large print instruction manual.Only a few small complaints.

So it's scrabble, but it does come in a tin box rather than a cardboard box, and the letters have a marbly pattern on them too in a quite lovely little bag. The board is still cardboard though. The review asks to comment on thickness, durability and stretch. I would say its about 2 inches thick while in the tin, thinner when it's not. If you stack all the tiles on top of each other you could argue it's taller rather than thicker, but considering semantics, you could regard it as very thick if arranged in such a manner. In terms of durability, it has lasted at least 3 full games, and 2 when the board got thrown, and it still works. No fading of tiles, wearing of board nor rusting of tin has occurred.

Bought this for my 94-year-old grandmother, who still enjoys a game of scrabble but has limited vision. The board is a bit bigger than normal and I worried that this might make the set unwieldy, but actually it doesn't. It's a good product which she can certainly use, but it would have been even better with a couple of changes. The tiles are flat wooden ones, slightly thinner than traditional plastic scrabble tiles. The large print is excellent, but the tiles themselves are a bit lightweight. This can be a bit of a problem because the racks are the same as in a standard scrabble set, and the letters fall off quite easily if the racks are held in the hand rather than left sitting on the table.

What a difference this little thing makes to the usual `nodding off between turns' tedium of our Rumikubb sessions. With a choice of one, two or three minutes, the timer beeps and flashes once when activated (by pressing the top), flashes every ten seconds, beeps again at each thirty second interval then counts down the last ten seconds. Pressing the top again resets the timer. The beeping is not intrusive or too loud but it does really motivate some deep thinkers to get on with it. The timer seems to be fairly robust and the silly little screw securing the battery compartment got thrown away so that was only a very minor niggle. The timer does its job very well,

This version of the great word game is very well presented. The box is sumptuous and the design of both it and the inner detail (rear of rules card, panel on rear of board) are in keeping with the whole 1960s effect. The board is a four-fold style and the playing side is finished in really nice retro colours. You may have read other reviews which criticise the variance in letter tile sizes, this is a non-issue (the variance is quite small) unless you're so competetive that you memorise the smaller ones for advantage, at which point maybe you should question your motivation for playing the game :) The tiles are lovely, in a pale wood, light in weight and with plenty of space on the rack for your seven letters.

My Scrabble board is over 20 years old, but in excellent condition. As recommended by other reviewers I measured the board before ordering. It fits perfectly and makes playing the game much more enjoyable. Being able to turn the board to see the words properly is brilliant, I can get bored trying to lean and move the board. My 7 year old grand-daughter has started to play the adult version of Scrabble, but, bless her, tends to move the tiles, making a word etc. This turntable is very good, folds easily to store and is excellent value. I didn't know this existed until I looked for an up to date word checker. Highly recommended, especially for impatient players!

This is great as it means our Scrabble games move along much faster now and everyone has a time limit. We generally have it set to 3 minutes per person. If you can't go in that time - you miss a go and everyone else remains awake! Definitely worth having if you are regular Scrabble players. You can also set it to 2 minutes (if in a hurry but it puts the pressure on), or even 1 minute - but we are definitely not at the level of being able to play well with just one minute to take a turn.We also have a Scrabble dictionary which is definitely worth having as well. You'd be amazed at the number of words out there that you didn't even know existed....

Exactly what I was looking for. No issues, all the tiles are uniform and the presentation is fab, great quality. This set has saved me the headache of trying to source second hand vintage pieces for my plans to turn this into a wall mounted magnetic version for all the family to play. Feel a bit bad really, as it is such a beautifully presented game!If you're apprehensive after reading other reviews, don't forget you can return, thanks to Amazon's excellent customer services! I certainly will not be doing this ?

What a delight to find the Scrabble board turntable on Amazon. It arrived in good time for us to take on holiday and we used it well. Completely functional in fitting the board so it can be turned around easily for each player - I did my homework by first reading other reviews and carefully measuring the board prior to placing the order. The packaging was fun as it arrived in a large impressive-looking box - now I know what to send to relatives direct for gifts:) Highly recommended.

To put people at ease who may have read other less favourable reviews of Scrabble prestige edition, the game I received had a perfectly aligned grid and no glue marks at all. Maybe a little pricey, but ticks all the boxes for useful scrabble features - rotating board, grid to hold pieces in place, and retains much of the classic look of the original (albeit with dark wood). Probably one of the better premium versions out there, certainly the only one still at an affordable price.

The board and pieces are slightly smaller than standard. Board seems absolutely fine, no warp, lies perfectly flat. Wooden pieces are slightly different sizes, but not enough for me to worry about and not enough to identify any particular piece. The letters and scores are burned into the pieces so it's not just black ink that will rub off. Wooden box it comes in seems ok for the price, no sharp corners, outer surface is varnished. Everything fits in ok. Overall pleased with it.

Bought this as a wedding present - it's a very nice-looking game and the wooden surround and tile holders make it look very stylish although I was disappointed to find no brass plaque, as promised on the manufacturer's description - apparantly this is mistake on the Amazon page I like the way the tiles don't move around on the board, would be nice if the tile holders had edges too so the tiles didn't slide out, but still a lovely, if very expensive, product

We bought the glass turntable Scrabble, and it is well worth the extra money. The table is large and sturdy, the turntable works well and is very handy to have in the game, and the letter pieces stick really well to the glass. No complaints whatsoever. Many of the scrabble game reviews are confusing as some do not relate to the specific game being considered for purchase, which is really sloppy on Amazon’s part. The glass one is excellent.

Tiles are large enough for my partially sighted Mum to use, letters are nice and clear, with the tiles being approx 1" square & bold black letters. The 'clip in' system is really helpful for those with sight problems, preventing the tiles from being knocked. Turntable feature unstable and pretty unusable really. It is overpriced though in my opinion, compared with the price of a regular sized one, but overall, happy with my purchase.
