Closed, the piece is a chess table with an inlaid board on cabriole legs. Lift the hinged top and it opens into an Armenian backgammon table, bronze checkers and the dice cup stowed underneath. One object, two games, and nothing to fetch from another room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tree with its roots showing is the right symbol for a table like this one. It is the piece a family keeps: the chess table the children learn on, the backgammon table the arguments happen over, the thing that ends up in somebody's house forty years from now. The drawer at the front holds the spare pieces, and the legs come off when it has to move.\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 Tree of Life set into the corners and the drawer front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarved lattice running across the frame and legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA front drawer for the spare pieces\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 Tree of Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmenians have been carving this tree for well over a thousand years — on khachkars, on church doors, on the front of chests meant to be handed down. The idea has never needed explaining: roots that hold, branches that keep going, and the family somewhere in between.
