What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives a 15-inch set size but dimensions of 16.3 x 10.2 x 2.6 centimetres. These measurements appear inconsistent, so confirm the intended board or case size before buying. The listed age guidance is also inconsistent, giving both adult and 3 years and up. The listing names faux leather as the material while its feature text describes a leatherette case. Customer feedback also reports concerns about case sides separating and clasps breaking, so durability may matter if the set will be carried often.
