The game itself is great. In contrast, the execution is not. I have specially taken the relatively expensive variant of Carromco, but can hardly imagine that others are processed even worse. What I got was milled with blunt tools and planed, accordingly uneven were the surfaces. So much so that you could easily pull chipping, especially for children which is unsuitable. The dimensions correspond only partially in line with the information provided by the product description. As others said, the king turns red sharply. Is also just kind of dull, not as shiny as shown.
Conclusion was, I have the parts all sharpened again and painted himself the king of the red head. Now the game has a certain resemblance to the pictures, which unfortunately was not the case before. That should not be necessary in my opinion, that's why there are only 2 points.
Oh yes, "especially water repellent" the wood is not exactly who sets out value, it would have to once again fully oils.
