A Note from The Backgammon Store:
This backgammon set is handmade by highly skilled craftsmen and as such, has inherent characteristics, both the wood and craftsmanship, that makes each backgammon set different and unique. Do not expect "perfection" as if this backgammon set was mass produced from a machine like many are, but rather, a unique piece of art.
