I enjoy backgammon, esp. on a nice set, so I ordered this item a couple of years ago to add to my "collection." I didn't have any wooden tabletop sets that don't fold, so I thought this might be interesting, as it looked appealing in the photo. It wasn't so great, however. It was smaller than I expected, and there some issues --some of which I can no longer recall exactly-- so I did not think it was at all worth the asking price, and I promptly returned it. As I recall, the points are not inlaid and they are not even particularly well placed, and/or the checkers do not fit the board perfectly, so when you line up the checkers along the edge of the board they are not properly centered on a point, e.g. You can find better designed boards for less, ...and I did.
