Closed, this is a chess table: an inlaid board over a lattice-carved frame on cabriole legs. Lift the top and it becomes an Armenian backgammon table, bronze checkers and the dice cup already waiting inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular pleasure in a handmade chess and backgammon table carrying the coat of arms of the country whose wood it was cut and carved from. It is not a souvenir; it is furniture doing what furniture in Armenian houses has always done, holding the family's games and the family's symbols in the same object. The drawer takes the spare pieces, and the legs unbolt for shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding chess and backgammon table on carved cabriole legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 chess pieces in beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 bronze backgammon checkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice cup and dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront storage drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed: 11.8 x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 23.6 x 23.6\" \/ 60 x 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 27.6\" \/ 70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13 kg \/ 28.7 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable material: solid beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChess pieces: beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon checkers: bronze and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable legs, packs into its own crate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Armenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne table, two games: a chess board on top, a full backgammon field inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze Armenian coats of arms on the corners and the drawer front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA front drawer for the spare pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabriole legs make it a genuine side table, not a game box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 11.8 x 23.6\" \/ 30 x 60 cm footprint for a living room or study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Armenian Coat of Arms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn eagle and a lion hold a shield; on the shield is Mount Ararat with the ark on its shoulder, and around it the quarters of the old Armenian kingdoms.
