Bridge Bidding Boxes Set of 4 -Bidding Box Easy to Carry and Store -Suit for Bridge Player and Bridge Club Include Waterproof Plastic Bidding Cards(Sky Blue)

These boxes are what is used at ACBL clubs and tournaments around the country for bidding. They can be used for either duplicate or party (rubber) Bridge. The plastic boxes fold up to protect all of the bidding materials inside for storage and then expand so that all of the bidding cards are at hand during play.The bidding cards are of decent quality and are coated in some sort of plastic, so they should last a long time and stay free of stains and damage.The underside of these bidding boxes is a cross-hatched plastic, which I have not seen before. That said, there is no problem with the quality, and the boxes are stable when set up.The only minor drawback I see is that the bidding cards are pretty tightly packed into the bidding box once it is set up, and they are slightly difficult to extract. I assume that once these cards and boxes have been used a bit, that will no longer be an issue as the cards get less "sticky" and loosen up with use.The four bidding boxes come in a nice cardboard box with the divider that is perfect for storing the bidding boxes when not in use.Overall, I'm definitely pleased with this item!

Standard equipment for any tournament bridge game. Similar style to the bidboxes you can get from the European manufacturers. Two small differences are that much of the box is a plastic mesh rather than solid plastic to cut down on weight and plastic usage --- that's fine --- and they use very big plastic nubs to hold the lid in place. You have to push/squeeze VERY hard to open and close these. I foresee a lot of not-really-closed boxes getting spilled on the floor.The bidding cards inside the box were unfortunately poorly packaged in mine. They're still usable, but the cards were bent backwards and have a noticeable arch to them.

Unusable! Cards won’t fit in boards.
