Surco Boss 16mm Carrom Board with Coins, Striker, and Powder, Black, 1-4 Players, Ages 13 and Up

Debated buying a Synco or Precise board from a carrom specialty store (for much more $), but glad I didn't. By far the best shipped price I could find for a 16mm English birch champion-level board, including SURCO boards from other sources. Playing surface looks nice, and is very smooth. Frame finish is not flawless, but for a plain black painted wood frame, it is very solid and functional - which based on a little research of most U.S.-available boards, was really all I was expecting. The carrom board came with Surco champion carrom men and a tournament striker (a little less than 15 grams). Board is large and heavy, considering that, packaging along with shipping cost and time were outstanding. Customer expectations, and shipping handling results for such a bulky/heavy item can vary, but I highly recommend both this board and this seller.

I was impressed when we bought this. I grew up playing carrom and thought this was a good board. We opened it for Xmas, it’s been out from December 25 till now. And just noticed cracks in each corner of the board, on the top. For the money, it’s a disappointment that this board won’t last a long time. I recommend going elsewhere for carrom board needs.

Yeah! Of course you'll get a lot of variance in reviews for products like these. I'll break it down to some basics. 1. Dimensions were pretty consistent from edge to edge and overall squareness. (+/- a few millimeters) 2. Graphics on playing surface are positioned consistently (distance from edges and centers). 3. Quality of graphics on surface are decent with very little bleeding color (not noticeable from playing position). 4. Smoothness of surface - very smooth and relatively fast even without powders or other playing aids (nominally 3 passes of striker from edge to edge with regular effort). - Choose a playing aid to your preference (some powders are better than others). 5. Boarder is painted and not perfect on outer edges, but edges that meet with playing surface are good with good rebound. 6. Pockets are well constructed. 7. Underside of playing surface is reinforced with a 6in grid of supports. 8. It's heavy and won't move around on you if supported properly. 9. Accessories included are decent quality. 10. Shipping container was sufficiently protective of product (arrived undamaged). 11. Shipping speed was great.

I wish there was less then 1 star! I will say, amazon product packaging and return policy deserve one star. Before buying, I was really doubtful about product quality based on someone posting pictures. I heard about seller faking product reviews in order to sell more. This is best example. Just have a look at some of pictures of product full of defects. Example of poor workmanship, product quality. In case you planning to buy, give a good looks at the photos. You will get good idea as to what you are buying! 1. Board wood chipped from couple of places (from inside) 2. White paint from product logo is all over corners. This is basic! Is this done by some child? 3. Corner joint paint coming out. Trust me..picture does not show what your eyes will see. Very disappointed with seller. Feel sorry not taking bad review seriously!

I like it, Plywood quality and finishing is good but the quality, finishing and polish of outside wood is below average. Plywood Thickness 16mm is heavy to lift. My cousin has other brand, I think synco, and that one is also pretty much similar. I think plywood on Surco is better

We donated our old carrom board during our recent move across states, and wanted a new one during the holidays. Bought one locally and it was horrible beyond imagination. I was skeptical before buying this one due to reviews that were not recent, but I took my chances. Glad to have received it 2 days before expected delivery date. Pretty heavy (that's good) and very smooth, getting even smoother the more we're using it. Would definitely recommend it.

Carrom came on good condition but carrommen had some mold on it. Not satisfied. Don't want to bring mold in house. Had to throw it out right away.

Board is good but the striker and Carrom pieces are poor
