NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!
I typoed on the last one, meant to say perhaps no more PURCHASES,

I received this as a Christmas gift and have enjoyed it greatly. Pretty much my only critique is it would be nice to have some kind of latch to hold it shut for transport so that it could be held sideways without risk of it popping open. It does have magnets that sort of do this but I'm not confident that they would hold against the pressure of jostling stones inside with the board held sideways.
Overall very pleasant to use
