“Nice Little Chess Set”

“Not quite as nicely made as I was hoping for, but ok at the priceMine arrived with a little bit of damage wood missing from an edge of the top surface, but not enough to worry aboutThe pieces are quite lightweight and the felt bottoms dont all give full coverage, but ok to use and none had chunks missing like some of the other photosThe board doesnt quite sit flat when open, due to the hinge pins though this seems to be common with folding boards of this type. A couple of little extra bits of felt each side would level it up, at risk of stopping it from being closed completelyThe two halves of the board align ok perhaps 1mm out, which is fine at this priceThe magnetic catch to hold it shut works wellOverall, a nice looking set if you dont look too closely, and I cant find anything that looks significantly better without it costing a lot more.”
