The board is nice. It's made of recycled plastic type material. I got this for the magnetic function since I have cats and they tend to try to play with things like this and will ruin a chess game, so I thought the magnetic feature would be good to avoid a cat related incident.. The checkers pieces aren't magnetic, which was a bit of a bummer because I do enjoy playing both, so keep that in mind. There's also no bag or anything to contain the pieces so I use a zip lock so they don't dump out if it opens up. There's also no extra checkers pieces so make sure you don't lose any as there's just the right number lol. In the past kits I've owned they throw in 1-2 extra just incase, but not in this set. The colors are kind of ugly and the colors of the pieces kind of clash with the board and make it look even worse lol. Why don't they match the board!? Not something I would display on a table, but it's functional, lightweight, and good for travel, space saving, or anyone on a budget.
