Pros & Cons
Pros
Very smooth, satin-finish with light, non-offensive injection molding lines. Satin finish is flawless, no broken corners or whatever.
The weight is perfect - just enough weight that the pieces feel sturdy and durable. This set is durable and practical.
Can't go wrong with these and a roll-up mat. They are weighted, beautiful, easy to handle, and a very nice size for my older clumsy hands. Bigger than average and sturdy.

I also live in an area where it would be nice to play outside in the grass or on the beach and having the weighted bottom is best for playing on soft or uneven surfaces or if it’s windy
