About us

________________________________

Darby House Design LLC was formed when "Darby" asked the question "Why are high quality needlepoint backgammon boards so complicated to have finished and also have such a long lead-time?"  (It didn't hurt that her husband has a  backgammon board manufacturing business....)

 

There has always been long wait times for backgammon board finishing and the options were limited for creating a truly playable board.  Then, after the cumbersome finishing process, a needlepointer needed to go into the marketplace to source their dice cups, checkers, dice and doubling cube which very often lack the original design intent of the needlepoint project.  A previously well thought out backgammon design that matches the game peices to fit the board AND the needlepoint canvas, greatly enhances the final product.

 

 

It became apparent that those challenges could be solved with a very high quality board that allows a needlepointer to create a beautiful personalized work of art by having the design perameters and components chosen ahead of time.

 

   One may choose to buy a hand painted canvas, through your Local Needlepoint Shop, created by one of the very talented canvas designers to fit our board  

 

  OR....One may choose to have a custom canvas created through their Local Neddlepoint Shop with one of their custom designers

 

OR...One may choose to purchase our printed template canvas that gives all the boundries for the board in order to create their own very personalized canvas and needlepoint board.

 

In essence, one will have "finished" the board prior to choosing your design, colors and threads and thecompleted the stitching.

 

 

The result is the Self-Finishing Backgammon Board from Darby House Design. 

We have gone to great lengths to protect our products and ensure that high quality standards are kept by registering a Trademark and have a Patent pending.
