The delicate reveals and movements on the table and its legs are an idea into battle between a player and his opponent. The lid has chess board on one side, and plain walnut veneer on other. There is a magnet within the lid, so you can pick up lid with a magnet piece. It can be used as chess/backgammon and simple side table. Comes with 2 sitting stools.
