Hey! Play! Game Table - Reversible Tabletop with Chess and Backgammon Gameboards - Game Room Furniture by Trademark Games

I am giving this a five star because you can't give a 4 1/2. The following is information that would have helped me:1. Check the table leg for cracks as soon as you get it. I read the reviews and knew that some of the tables were showing up with a crack in the leg. I opened mine right away, saw the giant crack and contacted amazon. They had me send mine back for free and sent me a new one. The new one is perfect. Do not gift it without checking it!2. The squares are 1 3/4"x 1 3/4". If you are looking to buy nicer weighted pieces you will want to know this.3. The pieces that come with the set are not weighted, but are nice enough. They look nice but they are very light. There is felt on the bottom. I considered buying new ones but they are good enough for now. A new nicer weighted set on amazon runs between $30-45.4. This set does not come with backgammon/checkers. If you want them you will need to purchase them separately.5. Backgammon requires 30 checker pieces (15 per person) to play so if you are going to buy checkers to go with this you either have to get two 24 piece sets or order "backgammon" sets. I ended up ordering backgammon pieces from somewhere else due to lack of amazon choices. You will also want to buy a set of dice, a cup, and a doubling cube.6. If you are going to buy nicer chess pieces to go with this set, and you want to store them in the table, make sure they are not to big! I measured the space under the top and it is just about 1 7/16" inches. It is hard to measure because some of the space is due to the table top. Some of the bigger sets might not fit. Note the chess piece bottom diameter when you are buying.7. So you can compare, I measured the king that came with the set. The kings height is 3 3/4" (9 1/2 cm)and the diameter (side to side on the bottom of the piece) is 1 7/16" (3.5cm).8. This table is not black, it is cherry. I was actually happy with this, but it looks black in the picture so you need to make a note of it.I hope this helps. It would have helped me!

The table itself is beautiful and the idea is lovely, but the design is horrible. Three legs instead of four causes the table to be majorly unstable and two of the legs completely broke off because they are attached by nothing more than sliding into a little slot made of cheap veneer! So, basically, I paid a lot of money for a chess board. Ugh.

Purchased as a family Christmas gift last year. It was very easy to assemble and well made. There was one scuff on the bottom piece, picture attached, but it was not an issue at all. Could easily be touched up with a wood stain marker. For the price and the ease of assembly, would absolutely go back and repurchase again!

The table itself appears as advertised. It has a really nice smooth finish, no scratches, and takes less than a minute to assemble. Be sure you check for damage when you get it, though.I’d compare the table’s quality to something you’d find at Ikea. Durable, clean, easy to assemble.When you lift the very top of the table, which fits really nicely on top of the table stand, the compartment is black felt lined. Looks nice, clean, well put together. The flip side of the chess board is a checker board, reversible depending which side you put facing up.My advice: but your chess pieces separately. The pieces are definitely garbage, they draw value away from how nice the table is. The pieces are magnetic for a board that is not magnetic, lightweight junk you could buy at the dollar store.The table is really cute, a little shorter than I’d like, has a slightly more orange color than mahogany. But I like it, and it is a nice table.

I don't write many reviews but felt like I should with this item. It's nice. The base is a cherry wood color where the table is more of a lighter, weathered looking wood color but they look fine together. The chess pieces are wood and actually quite large which is nice. The pieces are very light but they look good and play fine . Overall for what I paid for this chess table I'm very pleased. Setup is a breeze. 3 minutes.

The media could not be loaded. If I could rate this 0 stars I would. It looked nice but once we got it we saw the top was warped and all the legs were chipped or worn down. Honestly just bad all around. Thank goodness I ordered ahead of time so I can get a better table for Christmas. Do not buy this

Let me bet the one negative out of the way. One side of the table top was not attached. Got some glue. Easy fix. The fact that it was soooooo easy to assemble is the reason I'm still giving it 5 stars. I didn't even need tool. The pieces just screwed or slid into place. Simple, yet ingenious. It took about a two minutes, if that. The checkers are plain but hey, they're checkers. The chess pieces are descent, but kinda small. I got a more robust looking set. Odd: The description said it didn't have backgammon pieces, but the checkers work just fine for it. Either way, a great buy.

Is it functional? Yes.Does the color match the picture? No.Is the board warped? Horribly.I got this for a sitting room that I'm putting together, and the color doesn't match the picture, and therefore none of the rest of the furniture. Luckily I have rec room that I can put it in that doesn't need to match. The game board is warped severely, so it wasn't going to sit down flush. The good part is that it's really cheap would composite, so if you have a household that uses one bathroom, you can sit that board and there with the door shut while everybody showers in the morning and then weigh it down evenly on a flat surface to dry and it'll straighten out.That said. If you were expecting something wonderful for $100+ that you're going to be sorely disappointed. But if you're like me and don't want to burn the gas money to go haul this thing to a Kohl's to return it, and the color isn't a massive deal breaker, then you'll probably be alright. Just know that you're going to have to go into this thing with open eyes because the listing is misleading.
