High quality and beautful board
The folding 20" wooden Chess, Checkers, and Backgammon set is better than I expected. While the wooden playing pieces are simply carved, they are quite adequate for play and appear to be durable. The board/case however, is very nicely done and the wood grain is beautiful. The furniture (hinges, latches, handle) are well fit. The final finish is smooth and appears to be well waxed. I expect to get many years of use from this set and I think the $30 price is fair for such a quality board/case.

Chess/Checkers/Backgammon
It's a nice set, the playing board is a bit flimsy (thin wood) but the pieces are pretty sturdy. I like that it is wood (there are too many things made of plastic in today's world!) My 7 year old wished to learn to play chess and this is a good set on which to learn.

Better than I expected for the price.
Ummm yeah I love this. It's a nice big size and the checkers are large, so it doesn't feel like you have to be tedious with small pieces like usual board sets. The backgammon die are kind of small but the board itself is beautiful. I definitely recommend it.

GREAT DESIGN, FRAGILE MATERIAL
I absolutely love the combination chess board and backgammon game set. What makes this design so wonderful is that the folding board also has a handle to carry this combination game set. The major downside to this set is that the construction is made of very very thin wood or stimulated wood and is extremely fragile. This would not be a good game set for young people because of its lack of durability.

the who unit spins like it's sitting on a single ball bearing
Not worth the wood it's made of. When unfolded, both halves do not sit flush. Checker and chess pieces cannot be slid over the middle seam as they get hung up. Flipped over for backgammon, the who unit spins like it's sitting on a single ball bearing. I inspected the unit and the halves are not the same thickness so no adjustment can be done.Pieces feel cheap. Overall this unit is worth maybe $15 - not the $30 I paid. Unfortunately,the box was discarded so I cannot return. BIG didisappointment.

Fragile and has a MAJOR flaw
This combo chess/backgammon set looks pretty, but is made from thin wood. The quality control is lacking as I received some chess pieces that had damage, but the damage was polished over, meaning they did not look at the pieces before the finishing touches. My beige queen does not have a butt (which maybe is good for her?), and some other pieces have divots and dings. The backgammon side is nice (the only good thing about the board). The biggest problem with this set is the handle for carrying the unit has D rings that stick out too far (you can see the handle in the picture). Therefore, when laying the board on the side for chess, the D rings do not allow the board to sit flat! Who designed this?? I ended up removing the D rings and the handle, and I even had to move the clips that hold the board together when folded. The clips are also simple clips without latches, so they tend to slip. I am unsure if others had issues with this since I did not see it in the other 2 reviews (there were only 2 reviews before I purchased).This board was not worth it for me. I did not return it since we don't have kids (therefore the thin wood is not a problem), and I can deal with a butt-less queen. But, I would NOT recommend the board nor would I purchase another one. Better quality is found with a cheap plastic board in my opinion.

Nice board
Great dimensions and quality. The only tiny note I would have is that they might have included small light plastic dices because the big ones are very loud while rolling.

Backgammon and Checkers will make your kids think fast and louder.
This wooden box is the answer to get the kids thinking thinking again and learning HOW TO BE FASTER!!Talk about getting them fired up again. Playing Backgammon is NOT for the week at heart. FAST and FURIOUS is the only way to play. I ask my kids to faster and faster every time we play the game. No more, " I don't know what to do , Dad". And I give Poker Chips for their wins and at the end of the week, they cash them in for an Ice Cream cone. How fun is that!!Accelerate their thinking and activity, today!Joe
