United StatesThe Go board was nicely made. The stones too had good feel to them and made a nice sound when placing on the wooden board. I do however wished that the game came inside a fitted compartmented design box. Other than that, top notch game and pieces.
United StatesDelivery was expedient and the product exceeds expectations. Thank you.
United StatesI got these Go sets as Christmas gifts. They will be opened by the gift recipients. What I mean is that I haven't even looked at the sets so my review is only of the shipping department. The shipping was fast and packing was satisfactory. Communication, mostly system-generated emails, was good. Thanks!
Nice and quick. Product is as advertised
The board is superb. The lines are cut in to the board and the quality is excellent. It's a thin board as far as go is concerned.. but its portable, and sturdy. Stones are nice, if in need of a little cleaning at first. I immediately replaced the scratchy-rimmed and flimsy bowls with two Dentyne gum 60-pack tubs (labels and stickers removed). This provided a much more elegant and convenient solution for carrying the 41 black and 40 white stones needed for the 9x9 set. (Don't need a bowl for 181 black stones for a game board meant for 41 black stones). Overall-- great set. It's the little details on the bowls that just irritated me.. would have paid a bit more for half-decent bowls meant for 9x9 play and transport.
