Love the board! It is unique, and I love that I can call it my own. It is large and solid which I also love. The detail is truly amazing, and the supplied pegs and cards are good quality. I really enjoy playing on this board! However, I am giving it 4 stars out of 5 for the following reasons.
1. Finishing could be better. Sanding, taking off the sharp edge was not done and if so needed more.
2. Center section had a 'wobble' and did not sit securely. I had to flatten it out myself.
3. Advertising on the back- When I pay for a 'custom' board I'd like what I requested written on it, and that's all. Not 'made in canada by alfie' lasered on the back. I think the buyer should be asked if they mind having this lasered on the back or not. I would have declined.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback—I’m so glad you love the uniqueness and quality of the board. I truly appreciate your honest notes on finishing and fit, and I’ll take extra care on those details moving forward.
The mark on the back is my small way of saying “I made this, for you” and for U.S. orders it’s also required to show the country of origin. That said, I completely understand your point and will consider offering a choice in the future.
I truly appreciate your support and honesty—it helps me grow, and it means a lot to me as a small business owner. Thank you again for trusting me to make something special for you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We are thrilled to hear that you and the recipients are happy with cribbage board. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your support!
They're great. Far sturdier than the plastic pegs to which I'm used. Adorned with crystals that dress them up and make them suitable to be given as a present. Package arrived quickly. Service was excellent.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review! Thank you for choosing our product and for your positive feedback. Have a great day!
Ordered this for a friend's birthday and it turned out beautiful! ❤️❤️ Service was awesome throughout the process.I can't wait to gift it.
Hi Dawn!
Thank you so much for your order and support. We can't wait for you to gift it to your friend! Thank you again for choosing our product. Happy gaming! 😊
I ordered a guitar shaped crib board and it was fantastic!! It was a gift and the person loved it!
Ordered a custom cribbage board for a Christmas gift, received a very prompt follow up and answered the questions I had very quickly. Turnaround was excellent, and the gift was perfect!
Exactly as advertised, shipped very fast & high quality product! Very happy with our board! Wonderful Fathers Day gift!
I love these wood plates. The wood is holding up when I hand wash them. I haven't tried the bowls but if they are anything like the plates I believe they would be great.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful crib board in memory of our friend’s mother. Your service and response time was amazing!! not to mention how fast the delivery was. You made this so easy I am now a forever client. I have and will continue to pass the word on how wonderful it is to deal with creations by Alfie - big thank you !!!! Just a note: thank you for completing the score board at no cost although it was my mistake when ordering 😊 Catherine
There is a small piece that says Escarvarge instead of Hines. I was asking for something similar to the one you made for Heather Escarvarge. I am away until April but when I return to Vancouver, I will send you the piece that needs to be corrected. I'm happy to pay for it, since it wasn't;t very clear! Thanks Molly McNeice
This was more than I could have ever dreamed. The workmanship and quality are amazing!
Received the plates as ordered and they are beautiful. Great for special occasions or on a daily basis!
This is my second purchase and have been enjoying using Acacia wooden plates and bowls from Creations By Alfie. Both times - they are as beautiful as they are sturdy apart from that eating wood is as charming as they make for unparalleled wold world charm. All plates and bowls are solid pieces and unlike less expensive ones from other stores that are made from glued together pieces. I was also gifted (without me asking) 2 small pieces I now use as a condiment/sauce container and a small dish container.
The quality of this product is absolutely outstanding. Our only disappointment was that our order came much later than we expected. The artist did contact us to let us know it would be late, so the communication was good. Unfortunately for us, it is a gift we were planning to bring on our road trip and now we will be paying for shipping to deliver the gift rather than delivering ourselves.
Besides shipping delay, we are extremely pleased with the quality of the product and we were grateful for the clear communication from the artist. Thank you for a one of a kind, beautifully personalized gift for our great grampa!!!!
Ordered this for my husband as a gift. He loves it so much. Such good craftmanship. I love thats its a massive board and that the « double skunk » is identified. So much details. Customer service was 10/10. I certainely will be ordering again from this canadian compagny.
