Really nice item, arrived quickly. Happy customer.
These are things of beauty. If you're thinking of getting a classic Staunton style set that will last and provide pleasure to play with, and that won't break the bank, you have them right here. Pleasing to look at, pleasing to hold and pleasing to play with. Packaged with care (each piece individually wrapped)and a delivery speed I did not think possible this close to Christmas. I could not be happier.
Beautiful chess pieces. Immaculate packing. Fast delivery. Thanks.
Fantastic set of chessmen!! Beautiful pieces, and shipping was very fast!
I'm very happy with the quality of the chessmen.
The 23″ bag fits the board perfectly and feels well-padded and sturdy. The zippers are smooth, the handles are strong, and it makes carrying a premium board safe and easy. Very practical for storage and transport.
Very sturdy board with a solid build and smooth finish. Feels stable during play and pairs well with heavy pieces.
The carving on the knights is impressive, and the pieces have a nice, steady weight. Everything feels solid and well-made on the board, with the knights especially standing out and feeling premium in hand.
High quality chess set. Looks great when kept outside in my balcony. The knight design is especially nice.
Using this chess set from few weeks now. Mostly evening time, sometimes at home, sometimes in nearby park with friends. Board is solid, once you keep it on bench or table, it doesn’t move much.
Pieces are nicely balanced and don’t fall easily, even when playing outside. After game, all pieces go back inside the drawers, so no tension of losing anything. I’m using it normally, not handling very carefully, still it’s in good condition. Feels like a chess set made for playing, not just for show.
