Very happy with this board. I was surprised to see how big this is, given it is not a tournament sized board. I've read reviews complaining about the quality of the wood...I see no problems. The little discs slide across the surface adequately. It's flat and smooth, that should be sufficient for any beginner. It would be even better if it had screw in pegs. Some of the pegs are smaller than the holes and as a result do not fit tightly. If you hit those pegs too hard they will fly off the board. Fortunately, the board comes with a few extra pegs in case you have a couple loose ones. Mine haven't had any trouble. Also, I see no reason not to just glue the things in permanently.Having so much fun with this, highly recommend this board!
