Review on Amerous Folding Standard International Magnetic by Bill Wasson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for the price.

Overall decent quality except I had to sand down one of the magnets because it wasn't evenly placed in the product and I had to fix a few felts to be sure the quality control wasn't complete is flat across the board, no pun intended. It should also be noted that the board is very good for the price, albeit unfinished. I'll probably finish it in varnish soon to give it a nice shine and a deep shine. I think it has some kind of finish, but it's just one coat and it's very thin. So if you are someone who breastfeeds often and one day has a nice board I would definitely recommend taking the time to varnish it yourself and I think it will really make the chess board pop and look really nice. The pieces are magnetic enough to stick to the board, but if they're a reasonable distance apart they'll stick together, which isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you're trying to lose the pieces. I don't recommend holding the board upside down, but you can tilt and move it without dropping pieces. Also this is a great board for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who loves chess and likes to play on the go or camping etc. Another thing about the board is that it seems solid enough, but it's not worth bringing up. Like a toy, it can break. Also, this is a great product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who loves chess.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
