I ordered a set via a delivery company to my country from the USA, and it recently arrived. Delivery to the USA was almost instant. I've been dreaming about a black set for a long time, and overall, I don't regret it.
The set is very beautiful and well made, but there are a few minor flaws:
1. One of the tiles was not painted very well, not critically, but it catches the eye.
2. The red five of dots is very dark and difficult to read in dim lighting. All other tiles are very bright and look great.
3. There are exactly enough counting sticks in the set - enough for a game for four, however, I often play the version for three players. My old set had a lot of spare sticks and there were two extra 10,000 point sticks that were needed for a 3 player game (each player has 35,000 points at the start of the game). The set contains 20 extra sticks for 1000 points, but it would be more convenient if you put 2 extra sticks for 10,000 points. Also, if the sticks are lost, it will be unpleasant, because there are exactly as many of them as you need (40 sticks for 100 points, 8 for 5000 points and 4 for 10000 points.).
4. The wind indicator arrived a little scratched.
Despite everything, I am very pleased with the purchase, thanks for the fast delivery.
Shipping was fast - faster than I expected! The tiles are beautifully made and of high quality. The colors are bright and stand out well against the dark background. These dark tiles are more prone to showing fingerprints under some lighting compared to lighter tile sets, but regular cleaning mitigates this. A great set to enjoy a classic game with friends and family.
Beautiful tiles that I can't wait to play with
It is easy to feel like you are just money to most companies, but I didn't feel that way at all doing business with Yellow Mountain Imports. They were warm and friendly. As far as the mahjong set goes, it is beautifully crafted. It appears exactly as pictured, and each piece is a pleasure to touch and hold. I feel like my set is flawless and well worth the money. I will be using this company for any future gaming needs.
Great. The tiles look cool and are fun to use.
