500 14-gram Premium Quality Casino Poker Chips Set

Rating

I was pleased to get these poker chips but was surprised that they are not the same design as the chips that are pictured. These chips have an Ace & King cards around the rim of the chip and not the A, K, J, Q as pictured. The red chip is also black and red and not yellow. There are also imperfections on the white chips like smudges. The case is sturdy and well made as long as you are not throwing it around. I am okay with the mix up because the chips are 14grams tri color just a different design. The description does say Ace & King just not the right picture of the chips you're going to get. I actually prefer the design I received than the design that is pictured. The blue and orange chips are the best looking. I'm going to be taking my friends money this weekend with these chips!

The chips are great! First of all, the chips fit my needs. I'm not running Vegas style tournaments from my house; just a regular card night every few weeks. So for that, you can't beat the price with these chips. My buddy bought a set of chips a couple of weeks ago and paid well over $200...and these chips are much better. The heavier chips do make a difference; they have a better feel to them. As for the colors, I have no problem with them; I like the fact they are different. The biggest negative is the case. The case I got is bent, and doesn't close all the way. Also, the chips don't fit properly; there is a lot of extra space in each row, so the chips are in there very loosely. I had to put some of my old chips in there to make it a little tighter. This isn't that big of an issue because I can get a better case at a later date.

As much as I liked how the chips looked when I saw them on Overstock, I can't say enough about how nice they look when they are stacked in front of you. It was a great moment when I first opened the box and saw the chips for the first time. Although I can't imagine why anyone would ever pay $499 for them, I also can't imagine why anyone wouldn't pay the Overstock price. I've had a lot of fun playing poker with friends over the years. These chips actually make it more fun --- it's as if the chips improve/enhance the poker ambiance. It's hard to put into words, but I'm not so sure I'm going to be willing to play with lesser quality chips if I have the option of using mine instead. I haven't noticed any chip/paint flaws. Their weight really complements their appearance --- makes you feel like like you're playing with expensive chips. They also have a very nice clinking sound --- I can't say they feel or sound like casino chips, but they sound much better than cheaper clay composite chips. As for the carrying case, I think the handle will be sturdy enough assuming you don't carry it by the handle for long periods of time --- my judgment might be a little biased given all the negative comments I read about the handle. My only disappointment is that the blue/orange chips are ugly --- they just don't belong with the other chips. Note, the red chips have black with them --- NOT orange as depicted on Overstock. My only complaint is that the chips don't fill up the casino case ---of couse, this really doesn't matter much. I literally spent hours looking at the chips on Overstock trying to figure out which to buy. I didn't imagine I'd be as happy with these chips as I was when I first saw them and as I will be everytime I play with them. Unless you have to have clay chips, these clay composite chips are all that you will need.

I must say I was a little disappointed upon the arrival of my first online order. I did notice a difference in the weight of these 14 gram chips as opposed to the 11 gram ones used previously. The texture is really smooth allowing for the chips to slide. almost too smooth causing them to lean when stacked up. The darker colored chips were fine and were painted very well. The problem is with the white colored chips. The dark paint applied to them somehow was smudged causing the set to look less than brand new. I thought, at first, maybe just a few minor imperfections but upon further review of the set I did notci quite a bit that were smudged the same way. Although, it doesn't affect the playability of the chips it was a disappointment when buying what I expected to be a new set.

The chips are so nice. There is an incredible difference between these heavy weight chips and those of lesser quality. Worth every penny. Friends noticed weight immediately. They will think you stole them from Vegas. Heavy duty case to carry them. Lots of wows. Awesome deal.
