A cyan blue set with a clear crystal finish, cut for a table that stays set up and heavy enough that the wall stays where it is built.

This is a heavy set. 10 kilos is unusual, and it changes how the game feels: tiles stay where they are placed, the wall does not shift when somebody leans on the table, and a discard lands with a sound rather than a rattle.
The trade is obvious and worth stating plainly. A set this weight is for a table it stays on. It is not the set to carry to a friend's house, and anyone buying for a group that rotates hosts should look at a lighter one.
Clear acrylic tinted cyan takes light differently from an opaque tile. Built into a wall under a lamp, the edges catch and the wall reads as an object rather than a stack. It is the reason these sets end up on tables that stay set up between sessions.
The supplier describes it for card and chess room entertainment, and that is the honest positioning: a set for a dedicated space rather than a dining table cleared for the evening. If you have a room where the game lives, this is a set built for it.
Acrylic wipes with a barely damp cloth and does not absorb what gets spilled on it. Avoid solvents entirely, which fog the surface permanently. Keep the set out of sustained direct sun.
Check the weight against how the set will be used. 10 kilos on a folding table is a bad combination, and it is worth knowing before rather than after.

Read at a glance
Nobody wants to squint at their own hand. Faces that carry across the table, so the game moves and nobody has to ask.
Weight you'll notice
The difference between a tile you tolerate and a tile you reach for is in your fingers. Heavier tiles shuffle better and stack straighter.

Clear acrylic is costly to work with. Tinted stock has to be cast without bubbles or streaks, then each tile is cut, tumbled and polished, because a crystal finish shows every flaw an opaque tile would hide. Mass adds to it as well: this set weighs 10 kg, so there is a great deal of material in the box and the freight is not trivial. The price sits in the tiles themselves rather than in packaging or extras.
Rather than rate another shop's set, here is what to check on any of them. Weight and thickness come first, because thin tiles fall over as the wall is pushed and a light set drifts when someone leans on the table. Then confirm which game it is built for, since the traditional Chinese set and the American one do not share equipment. This set answers the first point plainly at 10 kg, which is why it stays on the table it is set up on.
There is no single answer, but acrylic sets separate on three points. Colour should run through the material rather than sit on the surface, so thumbs do not wear the corners pale. The cast should be clear enough that light travels into the tile and gives a built wall some depth, which is what the crystal finish does here with cyan. And there should be enough mass to hold a wall in place. At 10 kg this one sits at the heavy end of that.
Not this one, and it is worth saying plainly. At 10 kg this is built for a table that stays set up, where the weight is the point: a wall stays exactly where it was built even when somebody leans on the table. A travelling set goes the other way, smaller tiles and under a kilo, and accepts that the faces are harder to read by lamplight.
A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.
That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.
Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.
When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
