Scrabble Deluxe Edition

I love this deluxe Scrabble set! Scrabble is my favorite game and I have been wanting a set like this for a long time and my daughter actually bought this for me as an early Christmas present after seeing the Black Friday price reduction. It was about $100 and I must say, it’s worth it (especially with this sale) because it is lovely, well-made, and will probably last my lifetime and be handed down thereafter. It is made with real wood and elegantly designed, addressing every wish I had with my old set. It has raised grooves so the letter tiles stay put from knocks and such. It turns so you don’t have to strain your neck or do eye gymnastics to see the words right side up. The top comes off and everything you need is housed in it. It’s so nice, I opted to put it on our coffee table for easy access and even solo games (yes, I sometimes play two trays so I can play by myself!) It’s a great set for Scrabble lovers and being able to keep it out has started many spontaneous games with daughter and friends. Just love, love this set!

A heirloom-quality game that looks great. Beautiful wood. I love the ease of the turntable, which makes it easier for all players.

We just received our game, and it’s excellent! Very attractive, and the lazy susan and grid are game changers. The quality and craftsmanship, although not perfect, are worth every penny. 94% of reviews gave this game 4 stars or better for the other 6%, I would say invest in the Heirloom, Luxury, or Trophy versions or stick to the cardboard version, but nothing in large-scale assembly line production is perfect. Spending over $100 for the games seems steep, but this will be the last one we buy and will be handed down through the generations. I based this on the fact that our current cardboard set has been through two generations and is still in great shape. My cons (and both can be easily mitigated): 1. The tile holder on the new set is pretty dinky. We like the ones from our old set better. The fix: we will swap and stain the old holders for the new ones. 2. The lazy-susan, which is great, is ball bearings on hard plastic. The movement is smooth but not as quiet as if nylon was used. I have an easy fix for this as well.

We have this on an ottoman, it’s that nice that we leave it out like a coffee table book on display. It is so nice to have a grooved so the tiles don’t slide around.

I can’t say enough good things about this game and the company that makes it. Yes, it’s pricey. But it’s also beautiful and well made. When it arrived I noticed a minor defect in the plastic grid that holds the letters. It had raised off the surface slightly. I felt silly writing the company about it, but they included a card with the set saying they would take care of any issues. They wrote me back quickly, and even without showing them a receipt promptly replaced the entire set. And they said I could donate the old one — still quite nice. I’ve honestly never had this good of a customer service experience. They were warm and understanding all throughout the process. I recommend the game and company!

My husband and I play a lot of games. By a lot, I mean a lot. We had a regular scrabble board but I kept kicking my husband's rear end. For some reason he felt like if we bought a nicer board he would do better. Who was I to argue? He really doesn't ask for much, so I bought the board. The board came, and we unpackaged it. The board is beautiful but the bag for the tiles is a bit small. I had an idea. We went straight to the liquor store and bought a bottle of crown Royale. We quickly swapped the tiles over to the beautiful new bag. I highly recommend this step as the crown bags seem to have been made with scrabble in mind. We began doing shots and laying down words. My husband hasn't beat me in a game in two weeks, and wouldn't you know it he finally won. He was right. All it took was a fancy board and he was once again a champion. Come to find out that stinker had been tricking me with the shots. I drank about 3/4 of that bottle all by myself. I fell right into his trap and spent most of the night dancing around the kitchen and laughing. He spent the whole night beating me at scrabble. Either way, it was a great night.

Only gave 4 stars because I just received it and don't want to write an over-exaggerated review a few hours after receiving it. 1. Delivery: Right on Time. Ordered Tuesday, Amazon Prime 2 Day shipping. 2. Packaging: WOW! I'm not complaining as I am always nervous about getting things through delivery. Am always afraid it will be damaged in transit, but this was very positive. The packaging was a little cumbersome, 1 Large Box from Amazon, 1 Smaller, fitted box secured by corner wedges surrounding the actual games box. Inside the game box, the board was wrapped in a felt-like plastic paper with more corner wedges to ensure it doesn't slide around. Took a little to remove. Inside the board is all the pieces, all individually wrapped themselves. Not having to pay for 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime and not only getting it on time, but nice an snug and secure; Can't beat that. 3. Appearance: Beautiful look. I Love the score book, but I made custom score cards on my computer and don't think that I'll ruin the nice booklet that houses the score sheets. I love how you can store everything in side the board itself. Makes it easier to store the pieces, even though being a solid board as it is, it wont quite fit were I store the rest of my board-games. 4. Game-play: NOTE ON TILES: Not sure what all the fuss is about, the tiles are beautiful. I have not only overhead lighting, but it's fluorescent and I have no problem seeing them at any angle. Can't attest to how they'll hold up, as I stated, I have only had it a few hours and haven't actually played it yet, but I have tendency to baby my beloved purchases. I love the raised borders on the game itself. I am very OCD and hate playing on a classic cardboard version as the tiles are clumsy and always slide around. I love that it is basically a turntable as well. I can play upside-down, but this makes it a whole of a lot easier.

Beautiful board. Great for use with family and friends on game night.

The board is beautiful but let down by build quality. When removing the board from the box it was immediately apparent that the raised edges of the board were not properly glued or pinned in place as two of them pulled away from the edge of the board. Easily fixed with some superglue but I expected better build quality from a premium product at this price.

Having read some reviews about the this board I was worried it would disappoint. I gave it to my partner for his 80th and he loves it. It arrived earlier than expected which was great and he loves being able to turn the board to face each player. Although the tiles are dark they match the wood of the board and arent plastic. The tile bag is embroidered velvet which adds a touch of luxury. My only suggestion to the maker is to improve on how the board could be stored. Maybe adding a hinge and clasp to hold both pieces togeather securely.

The board is sturdy and stable, with smooth-turning action when rotating for the next player. Tiles nestle into place securely - no alphabet soup if someone spins it a bit too enthusiastically. The wooden finish is smooth, rich, and luxurious on both the board and the tiles. Lovely velvet inside adds class. Tile racks are well-made and sized. This is the set you can't wait to break out if you're ever allowed to have guests over again. In the meantime, even a solitary game is a delight. The next generation might not have much to look forward to inheriting, but you can bet this board will make it to the finish line for ya.

Liked the size, look, and rotating ability of the board. Also liked the ability to easily store and access all the bits and pieces. The board was well packed when it arrived; no damage or missing pieces. We like to play scrabble for fun and wanted a board that was easy to read. This definitely fit the bill. After reading customer reviews for various boards, we decided to spend a little more to get a quality product that could last over time. Would definitely recommend to others. .

Bought this for a Birthday gift, recipient couldn’t be happier, arrived undamaged due to being extremely well packed, it’s well made, love the tile grids, handy when you give the board a good spin (none fall out) Beautifully presented, with score book, racks, tiles & bag stored under the lid. If I had to say anything negative, it would be the light weight tile racks, surprised me at how light they are … although it hasn’t affected playing the game … it’s a pleasure to play, and see enjoying playing Scrabble for many years ahead with it.
