First off, this is a HUGE board. If you're planning on displaying it, make sure your end table or wherever you're thinking of putting it, will have room.The style of the board is very classy looking, and the base feels like decent quality. The topnot as much. The top (playing area) definitely isn't wood, more of what appears to be a laminate. It's not a deal breaker, but I'm not expecting it to last forever. The inside storage is plentiful, once you get rid of the cheap, Halloween mask-like plastic that's inside. I plan on putting in some balsa wood dividers. The pieces themselves have good weight to them, and are large. Some of the felt bottoms were peeling off, but nothing a little glue didn't fix. Again, not really a deal breaker because I had other pieces to use on this board.Overall, I'd say it's borderline being overpriced, based on quality of the materials, but if you're looking for a large storage board, this is a great option.
