This is a beautifully designed backgammon set and extremely well manufactured. Helena manufacture some of the best designed and put together products. This is the fourth Helena backgammon set I’ve bought. Three of which I’ve given as presents. If you decide to buy a Helena Product, I’d also highly recommend buying it from Farrar & Tanner because they give the best service you can expect and you know they’re selling you the genuine article.

Beautifully crafted board. The rosewood has lovely lustre and the turned dice cups also adds to the set.

I ordered one of Helena Wood Art's inlaid rosewood backgammon boards from Farrar and Tanner and received it earlier this week. I asked several questions about different boards as well as a set of Manopolous checkers before making my purchase, and these were all answered promptly. My order was despatched and dlivered promptly and was well packaged. The set itself is beautiful, the workmanship exceptional, and the price I paid for it was more than reasonable. I can see my grandchildren still playing on the same board in many decades to come, such is the quality.
