I received a free sample from WE Games and this is my honest review. These pegs are very simple metal pegs that function perfectly. You place them short-end down and the metal nob rests on the board. The pegs are narrow and can fit more board holes because they aren't as thick as some metal pegs. While they wobble if you move their ends around, they really do sit straight up and down. Much nicer than plastic or match sticks, for sure. Would recommend.
