Classic Chinese Mahjong Set - Emerald - Translucent Green - with Wooden Case

After a lot of research into the proper set to buy, I landed on this one. And I have not been disappointed. It was purchased as a gift for my wife, and she is thrilled with the quality. Solid tiles with beautiful artwork and a classy wooden case. You can no doubt spend a lot more for tiles, but this great quality at a fair price. A perfect set for a Mahjong enthusiast.

Beautiful set! The tiles are a great size and heavy great quality

We spent a lot of time researching and looking for a good quality set that is the "traditional" style with no extra numbers or letters. This one was the perfect size and weight. Not too big or small but just right. The writings is sharp with no smudges or paint that is outside the words. The case is also better quality than the standard brown think case that is thin and tends to tear due to the weight. It has a nice handle and is padded. Only time will tell if it holds up to regular use. It was packed by the factory in a padded box and Amazon packed it in an outside box so it came well protected. The only box this did not tick was that the green is not the traditional green but lighter which I was aware before purchasing. That was not as important as other factors. It is definitely worth spending the extra money if you want a high quality set.

I bought this set for my son. It is a beautiful set along with the case it comes in. Good quality as far as I can tell. Looking forward to many games.

I bought this set and it is very nice. Lee made the carrying case is crafted and sturdy. I really like it.

Beautiful case, mahjong tiles are heavy duty and chinese characters are large enough for seniors to read and see. Well organized. White set, just as described and pictured. Direction Wind included. Nice thickness of tiles. No english characters. Booklet with directions included - will read. Came superfast and very well packed. Love it.

This is a great quality set. The tiles are pretty and they're nice and big. They're not the biggest out there but big enough to easily stand on end without the need for racks (as the Chinese prefer not to use, which is why they like huge tiles). The tiles are marked with western numerals and letters, so you don't have to read Chinese to play. The champagne glitter scheme is quite attractive but not girly-looking. Also, the case is fairly sturdy and isn't going to fall apart any time soon, and it's made of wood, with felt on the bottom so you don't scratch up your table. There are enough betting sticks to play the Chinese variants of the game (120 sticks in all) and a cube with wooden holder to indicate the round. The inside of the case is lined with felt to protect the tiles. FYI, if you play American/Western mahjong, this isn't the set for you. There are no jokers or racks with it. Then again, the racks aren't really necessary with such thick tiles. It sounds a little pricey at $120, but the price is well worth it for its quality. I'll have fun with this one for years.

Great Mahjong Set!

The set and case are beautiful. The tiles sit in their trays like a box of very expensive chocolates. The colours are clear and the tiles are big enough to handle easily. The box is nicely made and looks good, but I doubt it would stand up to much travel without stating to look battered. The handle appears sturdy enough, but I suspect it would start to work loose if the box was carried very far by the handle. The tiles sit in four removable trays covered in a red velvet like material, and appear sturdy enough for the job. Accessories sit in a fifth removable tray. Reading other reviews i see the following complaints;- The tiles are too small/light The ties are too big/heavy No western numbering Chemical smell Re the size, as is stated in the description, the tiles are 32 mm tall. this makes them smallish by Chinese mahjong standards, where 40mm tiles are fast becoming the norm, and sizes up to 46 mm can be bought. On the other hand Japanese players use 26 or 28 mm tiles. so it depends what you are used to. The tile size seems like a good compromise. They are also pretty thick, so they stand easily. For the record, each tile weights 16g. for comparison tiles in another set I have, which are 37mm tall weigh 30g. Those that complain about the lack of western numbering have obviously not read the description or looked at the photos. If you need Arabic numbering these are not the tiles for you. On the other hand it is not difficult to learn the four winds and the 5-9 characters, then you are ready to go. The set arrived when Amazon said it would, and was well packaged, in two layers or cardboard box with foam padding between the inner cardboard box and wooden mahjong box. it arrived in perfect condition. There is a slight chemical smell, as you open the lid of the box. This, I'm sure will disappear in time. It's really not an issue. There are 148 tiles, including 4 blanks. The normal Chinese set including flower and wind tiles. You can play Chinese versions of the game, and Japanese Riichi providing you don't mind playing without red fives. It's not suitable for American mahjong version So, I'm very happy with the set. I have no complaints about either the quality or the description. It will be be used for playing at home, or transported to other peoples houses in a car and not carried by the handle.

Muy bonito set; si las fichas fueran un poco más grandes sería genial. La caja de madera también es bonita.

Exactly as described. This was a special gift for a particularly important birthday, and I was looking for something of exceptional quality. The recipient reported: "Wow - so beautiful, actually a work of art." It was delivered when I was told it would be and I was kept informed about the delivery progress throughout. Highly recommended.

Everything is fine but the golden background is a little too much.

This item was made available to me as part of the Amazon Vine program. My review is based solely on my own experience and represents my honest assessment without any influence from the seller or third parties. This Mahjong set arrived with 146 plastic stones and a set of dice, all ready for Chinese-style play. The tiles feel solid in hand, with a good weight that makes them satisfying to shuffle and arrange. The engravings on each stone are clear and well-defined, making it easy to distinguish between the different characters and suits during a game. Using the set for a few rounds of Mahjong felt authentic. The plastic material is durable and seems like it will hold up well to repeated use. The included dice are a helpful addition, ensuring everything needed to start playing is right in the box. While the plastic doesn't have the feel of traditional bone or bamboo, it performs very well for a modern set designed for regular play. It provides a complete and functional setup for anyone wanting to enjoy a game of Chinese Mahjong.
