Absolutely LOVED these when they arrived.But after 2 weeks of use by adults and kids, the mesh seats ripped out of the chairs.We continued using as floats, and now one of the floats has deflated.This was used to sit and play cards in the pool - NOT to horse around - we have other pool toys for that.Wish they had lasted longer - loved the idea of these.

Love playing backgammon in the pool. This game we bought two years ago is rusty and water leaks onto and on top of the metal board. The dice lost their spots months ago so we use our own. It’s the only floating backgammon game so I need to replace mine. This was our second set. The playing pieces weren’t magnetic uniformly. Some black on black and some black on red or white. We bought a set for friends because its lots of fun playing it in the pool.

The reviews are true that it takes on water and you cannot drain it. Some of the water will come out if you stand it on its side for a long time, but much of it does not. This is a defect that could easily be remedied by adding a drain hole that can be plugged. But as it is, I would say this product is defective and you should not buy it. If it drained, I would say it's a very appealing looking game board.

One of the chairs ripped upon first use. The item was unrepairable at that point because it tore along a seam where the seat connected.

We bought this for our pool. The board is warped and doesn't lay flat very well. It is a nice board and I love that the pieces are magnetic and don't come off when you are playing the game in the pool. It was quite a bit of money to have been paid for the board to be warped.

This was a little bit of a fun splurge to be able to sit in the pool and play cards, but a great gift! We used it maybe 3 times and one of the float seats split at the seam and fell apart. It’s a great idea and was fun while it lasted. We stored them out of the sun and it wasn’t abused. Cheaply made.

The Gameboard floats nicely in the pool. It has Chess Checkers and Backgammon.It appears to be well made and sturdy. We purchased the Gameboard to play Backgammon. There are several things that we are not satisfied with in terms of the Backgammon Game. 1. While the checkers nicely adhere to the board they are to large for the spaces on which they sit as the game progresses. The start goes well but as it comes to development we cannot line checkers up on the spaces they must occupy. 2. The triangles that make up teh gameboard are correct only on one side.. They shoul alternate the opposite on the other side of the game. 3. There are only two dice so they must be passed to the opponent. They float nicely if they go off of the board. The dots are unequal in size and they are washing off. 5. There needs to be a cup for each set of dice.I considered returning it as it was not inexpensive and we do not play chess or checkers.We have decided to use some game pieces that we had which are smaller as well as some dice. We live in Florida year round and love playing Backgammon in the pool.I have included a picture

This is the second time we have purchased this product. This time one of the seats broke at the seal on the very first use. It would be so nice if you could just get a replacement part instead of having to send the whole thing back!!! The other time we purchased this it lasted a couple of months then both seats tore where they connect to the game board and there was no way to repair them. Love this product but I am very disappointed with the quality.

The pieces don’t fit correctly on the board or board should have been larger to fit pieces. Also the first game we played in the pool a piece came apart. Also the dice are too large, does roll well. If I would have see a review like this I wouldn’t have purchased. Maybe the seller will fix the issue. I’m going to look for smaller pieces and use different dice.
