After in Dec. gifting the Little Birdie tiles to a fellow Mahjong enthusiast, I treated myself to this set, which is amazing! From the felt-lined compartmentalized wood case featuring two birds to the beautiful wood racks and accompanying pushers (with instructions on how to attach them to the racks as well as how to detach them), gorgeous tiles, and the dice, wind indicator, and scoring chips, this is a forever set that I look forward to enjoying for *years* to come. Thank you, Yellow Mountain Imports!
P.S. Will use Yellow Mountain Imports' dark camphor magnetic racks and pushers with the set as I feel that they better complement the tiles (and will use the racks and pushers that came with the set with my beautiful peacock tiles) and the mat (pictured) upon which I fortunately stumbled.
P.P.S. Having purchased racks with rubber caps that fly off willy nilly, I appreciate both that the rubber caps stay on firmly (though it takes a slight bit of effort to remove the one on each rack onto which the pusher is to be placed) and that the rubber cap need not be in place to operate the pusher, thereby making disassembly easy peasy. As well appreciate the insert that details how the pushers are to be placed in the case. JSR
The set is beautiful BUT too hard to assemble as the black caps don’t come off to allow installation of the pushers!!!!
Why don’t those black caps come off?
AND once the pushers are on, the racks no longer fit in the case.
Do you have softer and larger black caps??
Is there a schematic of how the set fits back in the case?
My family chipped in for this very beautiful set. I **** to admit how disappointed I am with the difficulty to assemble and store the set.
Hello. Thanks for your feedback! Please see the email we sent you. Looking forward to helping you. We're here to help!
Beautiful set! Haven’t played yet. Still designing my table scape and planning my first hosting! So excited!
Very high quality set with all the necessary components for play. I purchased the shuffling boards to complete needed items. The only other thing I would recommend would be the current year rule book. For those who like a hard case versus a bag or soft case for storage.
Ordered a “little” bird mahjong set for Mother’s Day about 6 days before and upon reading “5 to 7” days. Ordered on the May 04 and on May 6th it stated that it was shipped. My problem is that on May 17th it is still in Las Vegas and NO ONE from Yellow Mountain wants to talk to me. I own a multi million dollar business and know what good customers service could mean but I guess Yellow Mountain has yet to figure that out.
Hello. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this issue has caused. We appreciate your patience and hope you are satisfied with the resolution. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
