“Your hand crafted chessboard will be hand wrapped with a beautiful bow and layers of expensive paper. You will receive a hand signed card from your personal wrapper. Once you have removed all the excess wrapping, youll be disappointed to find an absolutely appalling set chess pieces. One rook was missing a chunk from bottom, so it leans heavily to one side. All the knights look completely different and many pieces have clearly never seen a piece of sandpaper.In addition to being very poorly made and uneven, the pieces are very lightweight. This means they are very easy to knock over. So not good for kids.The board is ok.I wish they had skimped on the packaging and not the product itself!I will be returning mine!”
