Looking to get a first time set - need advice (Sam's Club Edition)

Hi Everyone!

My wife and I are extremely new to mahjongg and would like to start with a new set.

This set at Sams club caught my eye and I wanted to see what you all thought about it.

170$ isn't a small investment into a new hobby, but it looked beautiful and I was going to get it for my wife for Christmas.

My main questions are, is this set worth the price?

Should I be looking out for anything in particular when looking at sets?

Would you recommend buying this one?

Thank you all so much for your help!

Hello everyone,

I have no idea where else can I post it to have an legit opinion.

I found mahjong in charity shop and it was so interesting that I decided to buy it. Problem is that I don't know anything about mahjong.

Did a tests suggested by Al and apparently it seems to be a porcelain/ceramic one. Tested it with red hot needle which didn't leave any mark on it and just slide on surface, also checked density which is 2,17g/cm³ (which also matches Chinese porcelain range).

Can anyone tell me anything more about it and also if anyone got an idea what would be the value.

Kindest regards
