“If you like black onyx this should sate that desire.”

This set is much bigger than the green marble and onyx set I purchased from the Sierra Family some time ago. I love it!

“I need to purchase the rules for this game of dominoes so I can get the most out of this set.”

This is one of my first purchases from the Sierra Family. I have several of their works of art now and will probably purchase more as time goes on. I recommend the Sierra Family to anyone that values beauty.

“Replacement pieces - quality pieces”

I ordered a replacement chess pieces after some went missing over the past 30 years owning the set. The product came wrapped very well and quickly. The quality of the pieces were very impressive and I could tell some attention put into making the set. Think I m going to order checkers next!
