Folding, so de facto was storing parts inside. And a congestion point for the! We could then expect a travel game, rather small after all. Well no, it's a game say "transportable", but its place is not on the plane. Perfect for a casual game in his living room or take her friends!
Quality now, wood is of excellent craftsmanship, and it smells like new arrival (packaged very well by the way). The rooms are all equipped with a fabric pad to reduce noise and not to damage the wood rattling.

If you want a huge chessboard to decorate your home, go your way.
Otherwise, buy without hesitation!
