Rechapados Ferrer or Weible board?

I'm thinking of getting a board with 60mm squares at some point and was contemplating between the two aforementioned manufacturers. Walnut/maple Ferrer board is 77,50 euros incl. postage at niggemann, and Weible is just under 80e total at topschach. So pricewise they are close enough.

If those of you having experience with their boards could tell me if there are any differences qualitywise, or if there are any other reasons to choose one over the other, let me know.

Thank you for your input, sound67, and thank you so much for the pictures! I just couldn't stop myself admiring that diagonal framed mahogany board. That shimmer and "lively" character of that surface looks wonderful.

Before deciding to go with walnut I actually was considering that mahogany version also, but after I saw the pictures at rechapados ferrer website they made it look so red that I dismissed it as too glaring. However in your picture the board looks so much more natural and I think I have to think this through again. I have bud rosewood/boxwood pieces so in terms of contrast they should be fine with either one I suppose.

Thank you rcmacmillan. I had already read praises about the excellent finish and smoothness of the Ferrer boards, which, from a practical point of view are actually quite critical qualities for a chess board to have.

I just thought competition would have caught up to their quality, especially when prices are practically the same, but apparently not. So, Ferrer it is.

Hi, sound67. Is that red one you have with high gloss finish?

Ok. I purchased one from italian shop a week ago, just waiting for delivery hopefully on this week. How durable is the finish, i mean how easily it can be scratched?
