After unboxing and opening the chips and cards this is what I have to say.Pros-I can play poker with my friends now.The case feels sturdy when closed, the chips are secure but I can hear a slight wobble inside. There are plenty of chips and I don't get any bad smells like some say.The inside liner is well intact and fits great. And the foam topper on the inside of the lid holds the chips in place.Cons-The cards are cheap decks, and the poker buttons are all scuffed up. Playable, but not as professional coming from the retailer as what almost seems like a set of used chips.Nothing about the actual chips are special, but that's what I ordered. So no fault there.The case itself can't stand up on its side, so I must lay it down flat, and the lid doesn't seem to close exactly flush, so closing the hinges alone won't lock it. You must make sure they are shut or I'm going to have a loud mess to pickup.Delt a few practice rounds solo- playing all 5 hands and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.Purchasing for myself as a beginner who wants to be able to play at my place and not just friends, this is perfect. If I however was stocking a poker room or having buddies over weakly and wanted something nicer this would not be it.As a gift, this could be a great option. Only if they too are a beginner. I'd imagine anyone with more hands under their belt would probably want a nicer set for their games.
