I oiled the board, bowls, and stones with food-safe butcher block cutting-board oil. Use a light coat several times on the board and bowls, waiting awhile between applications for the oil to be absorbed. After the second or third coat, use a clean oil-free cloth to wipe off the excess and you're all set. You might want to prop the board up on four small rubber feet or wadded up pieces of paper overnight, to allow for full oil absorption so no oil stains your furniture when you set the board down.
Oiling the stones makes them look and feel great. I oiled both black and white, although the kit says just oil the black. Use a 1-Quart zip-loc freezer bag. Put enough stones in the bag so it fills the bag just enough for each of the stones to lay flat. Use a small amount of oil, and gently move the stones around in the bag by smooshing them around from the outside. It takes less oil than you might think, but if you use too much, just leave it in there for the next batch of stones laying flat. Gently, pour the oiled stones out of the bag into one bowl. Remove the stones from the one bowl, one-at-a-time, wipe the excess by holding a dry rag and rubbing the stone between your thumb and middle finger, and, as you wipe each stone, place it in the other of the bowls. After one color is completely oiled and wiped, gently dump them out onto a dish towel while you work on the other color.
This whole process of oiling the board, the bowls, and the stones, took me about two hours, but it's well worth it. Everything looks and feels great.
The board comes with a nice fabric storage bag, which is great to have if you don't leave the board out on display all of the time.
The zipper bag for the bowls is vinyl, but convenient for storing them in a cabinet or taking your set out of the house.
The packaging is excellent. Sturdy box and fitted styrofoam left no room for anything to bounce around and get damaged. There was one broken black stone, but 10 extra whites and 10 extra blacks, so no problem.
This set is a winner for players from beginner to expert.
It's fun for me just to move the stones around.
The set has instructions on how to care for the stones, which included rinsing the dust off of the black stones, and applying a few drops of colorless oil. I contacted Yellow Mountain Imports Customer service about the oil.
(Yellow Mountain Imports responds the next business day with inquiries. Wonderful!) They recommended mineral oil which was purchased at a local drug store. (Mineral oil has medicinal qualities.)
I rinsed off the stones, both black and white, using distilled water. My tap water is hard, and I didn't want deposits on the stones. I dried the stones off with a towel, but wasn't convinced they were completely dry, so I heated the oven to warm, turned the oven off, placed the stones on a shallow baking pan, and dried them for thirty minutes or so. While the stones were still warm, they were placed in zip-lock bag, a few drops of oil was added, and the stones thoroughly coated. Then the excess oil was wiped off, and the stones were allowed to dry.
They are just beautiful! Really!
I highly recommend purchasing this Go set. Playing Go now has an additional pleasure.

All the accompanying papers, manual and "how to take care of stones" brochure are in English, that's great, thanks for that as well! Might be not good for non-english speaking locals though, but it's not a seller problem in my opinion.
One small with for the seller - would be great to include some small bag with the oil to the set for oiling the stones, manual says "use sewing machine oil", but I doubt many people have it at home. I used bike oil, seemed fine, but it has a bit of some alcohol odor. BTW, *do oil* the stones, it really makes a difference in visual appearence.

A few days after containing the set I found out that Yunzi can contain lead. As I read it from YMI, also here this is the case. Tho in small amounts, probably nothing to worry about too much as long as you keep it away from children (seriously, keep it away from them, it's dangerous for both lead and swallow reasons), I was a little bit concerned and wrote to the Yellow Mountain Support, asking for options.
No answer.
Today it gave my opinion of this product the rest as I found that a teeny tiny crack on the side has a suddenly sprung up into a really deep crack spanning over a forth of the board on the 13x13 side. Apparently bamboo is rather fragile in general there, but 13 days seems an awful short amount of time for such a thing to happen to a supposed higher quality board.
I will return this product and look elsewhere to find something better for cheaper. Maybe you're lucky, like many in these reviews seem and it will all be a breeze for you, but I would discourage you from buying this product and rather look elsewhere.
