“Its got a nice finish but two the halves dont quite align by about a millimetre and, due to protruding hinge, doesnt open completely flat. Am considering sending it back.”

“Damaged 2 major varnish defects not related to wood colouration. 2 inch scratch in the surface. It had a card inside suggesting it has been checked by Jane. Clearly she hadnt been very careful about checking. Real shame as other than the overlooked damage it is a really nice board. Very disappointed as I was excited about getting it.”

“Very pleased with the chess set. A very nice finish to the board, with sturdy, attractive pieces. They fit neatly into the back of the board which folds away for storage and easy transport.”

“Overall board is very nice and glossy. But the black queen is tilted and deformed, looks like a finishing issue.”
