Anyone have any experience with this budget chess board?

Was looking for a budget 1 3/4 type board for some smaller pieces and saw this on Amazon.   From the pic it almost looks like one of the economy RF boards.   Anybody have any experience with it or know the square size?   That’s gotta be pretty close to 1 3/4 I’d imagine?

Sorry, no experience. But it does look similar to a 17.25"/1.75" HOS board ($49 before shipping):

I would get the HOS board in a second if they had a walnut/maple board  in 1 3/4.   The mahogany color is a little too bright for my taste.    

My ideal board would be the regency 16.75 walnut folding board, but it seems to only be sold out of the US with a ton of shipping so ends up well over 100$ sad.png

Maybe it's just me but I hate when companies print their logo on one of the chess squares.  Common guys, I know you want to promote your company but i don't want to look at it all day every day.
