(More customer reviews)This board is huge.
To really get the idea measure out four 20 inch sticks and lay them square.
The board is nice and heavy. The fold is joined by two brass hinges one on each side and covered by a strip of felt on the bottom.
The board has nice appearance and looks finished at a distance but the board is a really just good quality work left in an unfinished way.
There is no lacquer finish.
The dark area on top of the board is stained (expected and well done). The play surface of the board is is decent. The bottom of the board is completely unfinished. On the bottom there are four 2 inch felt circlets, one at each corner of the board.
Over all this board is nice to look at from a distance.
Up close there is a small amount of disappointment.
With a little effort this board can be transformed to a elegant travel board with curb appeal, other wise you have a huge hefty folding travel board.
But for 50$ I was not sure what to expect in the finished product.
At the seller's direct web site the board is sold for almost twice as much.
