Scrabble Deluxe Wooden Edition with Rotating Game Board

The board is beautiful but let down by build quality. When removing the board from the box it was immediately apparent that the raised edges of the board were not properly glued or pinned in place as two of them pulled away from the edge of the board. Easily fixed with some superglue but I expected better build quality from a premium product at this price.

Having read some reviews about the this board I was worried it would disappoint. I gave it to my partner for his 80th and he loves it. It arrived earlier than expected which was great and he loves being able to turn the board to face each player. Although the tiles are dark they match the wood of the board and arent plastic. The tile bag is embroidered velvet which adds a touch of luxury. My only suggestion to the maker is to improve on how the board could be stored. Maybe adding a hinge and clasp to hold both pieces togeather securely.

I love this deluxe Scrabble set! Scrabble is my favorite game and I have been wanting a set like this for a long time and my daughter actually bought this for me as an early Christmas present after seeing the Black Friday price reduction. It was about $100 and I must say, it’s worth it (especially with this sale) because it is lovely, well-made, and will probably last my lifetime and be handed down thereafter. It is made with real wood and elegantly designed, addressing every wish I had with my old set. It has raised grooves so the letter tiles stay put from knocks and such. It turns so you don’t have to strain your neck or do eye gymnastics to see the words right side up. The top comes off and everything you need is housed in it. It’s so nice, I opted to put it on our coffee table for easy access and even solo games (yes, I sometimes play two trays so I can play by myself!) It’s a great set for Scrabble lovers and being able to keep it out has started many spontaneous games with daughter and friends. Just love, love this set!

If you are a lover of Scrabble then this is the board for you. I have had this particular version for over 20 years. I have gifted it for those I know that love Scrabble. The board is clearly durable as I have had mine for over 20 years. Beautiful wood. It is a joy to play on this board as the tiles do not move around and you can 'spin' the board to your hearts content. Highly recommend for Scrabble lovers. Also a wonderful board to take to visit friends and family who are in hospital. I write this because my father and I spent hours while he was in hospital playing on this board. It was easy as the tiles do not fall off when you turn the board.

My wife and I love love love playing scrabble. This board makes it even more enjoyable!!Why:- Base Swivels 360 degrees- Ridges between blocks keep your tiles from drifting around the board (when "certain" players get to exited during game-play :-)- Nicely made wooden tiles for each letter- If you need to set the game aside and come back to it later everything stays in place!- Huge storage area inside for the tiles, a note pad (that comes with it and a pen) with room left over.- It's actually a very well made show-piece, like a well made chessboard, we display ours on a table when not playing it. It always received LOTS of complimentsThis is the second one we have owned. The first one was a gift from a client who knew we loved scrabble. We did some extended traveling out of the country and sold most of our stuff before we left and donated it to a local club. We knew as soon as we came back to the U.S. we wanted to buy another one, so we bought it as a gift to each other for our 9th Anniversary.If you love playing games and you're an adult, why not spend a little more money and own something nice like this board, that you will get many years of enjoyment from.Highly Recomended :-)
