Customer Reviews
United StatesExcellent Customer Service - Did not get quite what I hoped for
I received my Go board and admired the hand made quality. However, I noticed a few defects in the finish on the board. Nothing major, but definitely noticeable. I emailed Yellow Mountain about the issue and they promptly issued me a new board. Unfortunately, the replacement board had the same blemishes to the surface. It does not hinder the play of the board, but definitely takes something away. I would have given 5 stars, had it not been for the fact that I am now left with two boards with the same visual defect. Everything else was of great quality and I am very pleased.
Gift of Go
As was gift for someone else can not give feedback on product experience. I can only report that shipment of purchase was prompt and both outer and inner packaging was in excellent condition when received.
Very Satisfied
Products arrived earlier than specified and in pristine condition. Stones and board look/feel very nice.
Great Product at a Great Price
I love this board and the stones! It makes for a really enjoyable experience playing Go in person and having 9 x 9 and 13 x 13 is good for short games.
Very happy with the board game quality
Thanks =)
