Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The quality of the board seems to be the same as the 70s. Even the tile bag is nice. Love the wooden tiles, they are the main reason i bought this over other board sets. Better quality and less plastic in the world.

Cons

The tiles are tiny, very light wood, unevenly cut and badly discolored. The wooden tile holder is also so small and cheap it belongs with a doll set. The board is flimsy, the tiles are out of very cheap wood and the font is totally wrong.

If you've ever played with an actual vintage scrabble set, you will be sorely disappointed with the cheapness of this set. Save yourself a few bucks and buy the $14 version; it’s sturdier and isn’t as cheesy as this retro version. Get something nicer.... Read More

But it's not as advertised. It's completely useless. Just makes me sad!

Racks are cheap, poor soft wood replacements for the original gracefully curved maple racks. Board is thinner and the overall quality is lacking.

The letters themselves are stamped onto the wood and some were smeared. They are also top printed, not the engraved and painted tiles.
