“Incredible quality at a very reasonable price. Bought as a Christmas gift for my 17 yr old. He is going to love it! Beautiful wooden pieces and board. Great design with the pieces stored individually inside the folded board. I can’t wait for a game of chess on Christmas day on this chess board.”
“I ordered this for my 11 year old nephew for Christmas as he has really got in to Chess recently. I was hoping that it would be a present that he would keep for years to come and when it arrived wow! The packaging is brilliant, hand tied with a ribbon and then the chess set was wrapped inside the box too. Mine was packaged by Emma so thank you Emma! The quality is great, much better than a lot of other chess boards I have seen in this price range. The pieces are all neatly stored under the board and all folds away nicely. This is a really lovely gift and I am so pleased with it!”
“The parcel arrived beautifully wrapped with a black bow and and hand written card looking like it was going to be everything the blurb promised. Once into the box the closed chessboard was wrapped in a printed tissue paper with the factories history on, I thought this was a nice touch. On looking over the board it looked in beautiful condition of walnut and beech squares with a marquetry beech edge and a walnut border. There is a small gap where the board is hinged together but this is not unsightly and does not affect play. The chess pieces are held inside the closed box with with elastic loops and the box is lined in this area with a felt type material. On taking out the black chess pieces which appear to be polished walnut they feel nice and smooth in the hand with no rough bits. However the disappointing thing is that they are not remotely uniform, but I feel this can be forgiven as they are individually carved by hand. It is obvious on examination that the person carving the dark wood is considerably better at this than the person doing the light wood carving. Many of the castellations are poorly and irregularly carved and the knights are also somewhat lacking. But taking all into consideration its still a nice, unique, playable chess set for the price.”
“As soon as we opened the amazon box we were impressed! the packaging and presentation was amazing and a lot of though went into it. The guidesrules were very simple so good for beginners, and the board itself was lovely with no faults or even a scratch!would definitely recommended for others to buy, we will be keeping it in the house set up as its so lovely to look at!beautiful work and packing thank you”
“Looks and feels great for the price. Theres a couple of minor imperfections that stopped it being 5 stars but overall Im very happy with the product.”
“The chess board is brilliant, very well built and all the pieces look and feel great. The only reason for the three stars is because the board came with a big scratch on the face, but other than its great”
“An Amazing set, beautifully crafted chess board, comes with a soft bag to protect it, the parcel is nicely thought out and has an air of class about it with it wrapping, bows and box.. Very good value for money for the prestation, robust pieces. Brought for my husband for his birthday and he loves it.would recommend to anyone who loves chess and is thinking of giving it a present..My children 6 and 10 are loving playing with dad.”
