Customer Reviews
The set is advertised as being magnetic, and the pictures show the pieces staying right where they are when the board is in a near vertical position. Don't believe it! The magnets in the individual pieces are strong, and they work well on other magnetic boards I own. The piece of metal that they have placed under the wooden board holds the pieces firmly, but the wooden board that resides above the metal sheet pretty much shields the metal from the magnetic pieces.. When I place a piece on the board when it is in a nearly vertical position, the piece slides off the board. So, if a magnetic set that will keep the pieces in position if the board is bumped is your prime reason for purchasing this set, then this is not the set for you
That being said, the board and pieces seem to be well crafted, and it is an attractive set. As some of the other reviewers have said, the plastic holder for the pieces is useless, and I ripped it out as well. Just store the pieces in a quart freezer bag, which easily fits in the board.
This is a nice looking, well crafted travel set, but to say it's magnetic is a stretch.
Gift for my 10 year old. He loved it!
I love the board! Its well-made and great quality. The board arrived quickly and was safely packaged to ensure that no damages be made on its journey. I will definitely be back to make a repurchase. Thank you!!
Magnets work great and the entire set is very portable for packing up and travel.
A good product for the price. One drawback is the just-about-worthless interior; It doesn't really secure the pieces in place. Like another reviewer of this product, I simply ripped it all out.
