This is the same set my grandparents took out every evening after the supper dishes were washed.

Folding cardboard board, hard maple tiles, wooden racks.

Here's how we used to get the tiles face down in the box: when a game ends, carefully tilt the board and carefully slide the tiles into the lid, printed side up. Then fold the board, place in the lid on top of the tiles, turn over lid, board, tiles and all. Then again tilt the board to slide tiles into the box. Cover with folded board, racks, Scrabble Dictionary (sold separately) and put away on the shelf until tomorrow night.
