“This item is about as good as Id expect for a wooden chess set of this size and price. As others have indicated, there are imperfections with the craftsmanship some pieces like the king and rooks arent crafted properly they look slightly slumped over like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Also, the pieces arent weighted, so you might knock them over now and again, compared to weighted pieces or magnetic pieces. When the board is opened up, if you look very closely, youll notice that the playing areas dont perfectly align. These are all minor imperfections, however you need to be really paying attention to notice them. If these small flaws dont bother you, its pretty much the best wooden set youll get at this price range.”

“Smaller than expected. Scratches on the board as well as markings. When unfolded the squares didnt match up and a spelling mistake on the card. Not great. Sending back.”
