How am I the first to review this?

I'm surprised I am the first one to write a review for this item! First impression is WOW! Picking up the package off the ground post delivery this is a VERY heavy package. This typically would suggest to me that it is made of higher quality materials and not cheap to manufacturer light weight plastics. For starters the carrying bag feels like a very heavy duty leather. The pieces and other components are very colorful, thick, heavy, excellent artwork. I have no idea what the other items are because I have NEVER played this game before or if I have it's been many years and I don't recall. This is an awesome set and now I will have to learn how to play and then teach my daughter as I am certain she will like this! Thanks!

Missing tilesw

We were initially excited when we opened up the set until we realized four of the dragon tiles were missing. It appears that they weren't printed in production. We returned the set and ordered a new one but the replacement set had the same issue. Vendor should do better QC.

Amazing Quality!

This Mahjong set far exceeds others I have used at my friends and family'sl houses! it is shockingly heavy, with a weight to every tile that you feel as you are playing. The included bag is surprisingly high-quality and will hold up well to my travels. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a Mahjong set that they will never need to replace again.

Really good starter set

I was so excited to order and open this. First, the packaging is lovely. Better than anticipated. Would make a great gift. Everything is packed in the carry bag. Carry bag is cute. Needs some breaking in to get rid of wrinkles. Cute styling. I love the tile bag. It's more of a box. More cute styling. Tiles have a nice feel. I was suspect about what they would be like but they compare to many of the other basic sets I own. I bought the pink and it is very pretty. My critique: the 1 Bam is not a Bird in the pink set, but it is in the yellow set. One bam is just a one bam. Lost opportunity. Individually the tiles are easy to read/understand. However, when laying on the table or on a rack across the table, there is not great differentiation among many of the tiles. For example, the red dragons and 8 cracks are similarly “full of red”. Also, the numbers on red are not clear from across the table. The winds are also similarly too alike. I imagine with younger eyes these things might not matter. I'm 55 with average middle age vision. The mat is quite different from most on the market. More of an ultra suede vs neoprene. It felt nice to play on. Definitely have to try to handle the wrinkles out. It is pretty with a nice design. The racks are clear with a detached pusher which I prefer. For $150, this is a fantastic set. It was good to teach with tonight because there are no tricky tiles. Flowers are flowers. And 1 bam is just a 1 bam. Just be sure to turn the lights way up or you'll never know what is across from you. I would definitely recommend this to my students as a well made, fair-priced set that is cuter than your average intro set. (Not including photos because website is accurate.

Nice Mahjong Set for beginners

I will be using this product to play Mahjong with friends. The tiles are nice, easy to read and as a beginner, I like the 1 bam not being a bird. The bag and mat are very nice. I like that everything fits into one bag, even the racks. My issue is the racks. The pushers on the racks are not connected. They are not magnetic. So, I am not sure how to use them. I think I will buy Hobby Lobby racks to replace them. The racks in this set are nicely constructed and heavier than Hobby Lobby racks but not sure how to use the acrylic bar that is not connected to the rack.

good starter set

Pretty set. I don't care for the pushers since it's 2 pieces and not connected. And if you play with blanks and extra jokers the pushers could be longer. I feel like we have been dropping tiles more with this set than others. The lip of the pusher that the tiles sit on seems narrow. Good started set for the price.

Affordable %26 Amazing Mah Jongg Set

Wow! The Mahjong Cirquejong set is stunning! I am an avid Mahjong player, and I was skeptical about the quality of this set due to the price being so affordable. The set does not disappoint! The quality of the tiles is exceptional; they are colorful and have a nice thickness to them. They are etched and painted.

Nice Starter Set

Overall, this is a nice starter set. The 3-star rating is based on the fact that I find it very difficult to read the pieces numbered with yellow numbers. I can play all other sets without readers, but the yellow numbering is difficult to see. I would opt for the Bloom (pink) set if available. The slider part of the acrylic rack is not attached (basically a separate ruler). To use the premium tile case, you have to line up every single tile flat in the case or not even half of the tiles will fit.

Treasure Hunt excitement!

I miss the "treasure hunt" excitement of a thrilling find at Sam's Club...this set recreated that feeling! We needs more of that, Sam's buyers! I am a "new" player and wanted a second, more trendy set like the $500 ones sold online. This fit the bill .(I also have a traditional set that is very solid). I love the colors on this Blooming version but I am using my pushers from another set because these have some room for improvement. For the price, this is an outstanding deal if you are a beginner and want something attractive and fun. I have noticed that even the competitors popular expensive sets sold on line that are comparable to this have issues if you read the reviews, these have none of those serious issues like deglazing. This is a great investment.

Good for a Beginner

If you're a beginner, this set will be a good one. It has everything you need to get started (table mat, 4 trays, dice, tiles) with appropriate accessories making it convenient to store. There are a few areas I'd really like to see improvement. First, the size of the carrying tote, which is just slightly too small in my opinion to put the racks in. I'd like to see the bag wider by 2-4 inches so the racks could be put in without having to adjust them. Second, the tile holding case, you have to place all 160 tiles neatly stacked together in order to zip it up. A nice bag, where you can scoop up the tiles and place them in quickly would be a better option. Again, if you're a new player or only play occasionally, this set will do. If you want something more sophisticated, geared towards serious play, invest the money and buy from Oh My Mahjong, which has incredible sets.
