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

“The set came in a beautifully packaged box with ribbons. Would have been ideal for a present. It was for myself so the packaging was wasted!The pieces are very nice. Minor quibble is that I would have liked them a little heavier. Would also have liked to see letters on files and numbers on rows but others might prefer no letters and numbers. Very minor quibble in any event.I liked how the pieces are fixed when in the box.”

“Very nice chess set for the price. I was looking for a chess set that I could take around with me so that I could play with others, however, having no plans for playing chess whilst traveling, I didnt need a magnetic set.Upon arrival, the set was beautifully wrapped. Inside each piece was in place and, most importantly for me, it was ready to travel with me out of the box.On inspection there were a few imperfections in the board. One of the pawns also had a noticeable indentation in the top. None of this inhibits playing of the game, but I imagine it would bother some people.Overall, a fantastic chess set which has eased my reintroduction to the game after many years.”
