Editorial Reviews:

A fine mahjong set brings elegance and color to a room even when it's not being played, and this set is one of the most elegant we've seen. With five sliding drawers in a richly colored rosewood block with the mythical Qilin creature carved into it, this set will add a touch of beauty into your home. The Qilin (Kirin in Japanese) is a peaceful gentle creature that is said to appear only in areas ruled by a wise and benevolent leader (even if only in a household!). It is a good omen that brings serenity and prosperity wherever it appears. This set is a reproduction of the classic sets from Shanghai that first sparked mahjong's popularity in the West in the 1920's. The tiles are made from crisp new bamboo and cattle bone, inscribed with fabulously colored designs. Please note that this is a hand made mahjong set made with natural materials using traditional methods. Each tile is cut and carved one piece a time, and the characters are inked by hand. Hand cut bone and bamboo tiles are slightly smaller than fiberglass mahjong tiles, and coloring and shape varies slightly from tile to tile and set to set.

Summary: Top Quality, Excellent Workmanship
Comment: I love the detail on this Mahjongg set. Comparing the cost and quality of these tiles to what you would spend if you purchase tiles through the National Mahjongg League..these are definitely worth the money! The tiles are beautifully made and the box itself is a piece of art. It does not come with racks as mentioned in the description- I ordered wood racks through the vendor itself that are also excellent quality and come with a detachable piece that you can push your tiles with. The racks also have a space to keep your counting sticks or coins. The racks are on amazon but listed as out of stock - that is why I ordered directly from the vendor. I also ordered the Rosewood Chinese Mahjong Direction Indicator which you use as a bettor if you play American. The direction indicator is on amazon as well. Overall, the vendor was quick and the products are top quality.
