“The Chinese checkers board is just gorgeous - the perfect gift.”
"The [Chinese checkers] board is beautiful! Really a work of art, lovely cherry with a fine finish, obviously lovingly crafted. The marbles are unusual and very pretty. We can't wait for our son and family to open this for the holidays. They'll love it." -- Virginia B.
