“The packaging and materials are great but the hinge makes the two sides of the board slightly offcenter from each other and makes the middle of the board raise slightly. Although this unit isnt worth returning, this issue is slightly annoying. Sometimes, hand made or hand assembled isnt the best option as machines are far more accurate at most things such as screwing on hinges. Otherwise I am very pleased with this high quality product because it feels very premium and the value for money is great.”
“I was initially concerned about all the negative points on reviews, but though I would chance it, and i can say Im glad i did.The chess set is an 11 inch board which is more than large enough to teach my 8 year old how to play chess. The package was presented well with a nice card saying who packaged the chess set. The board and chess pieces are presented, feel and look great. Really good quality wooden pieces. The board folds in half and keeps shut by hidden magnetics inside the frame.Im looking forward to spending many hours playing chess. Finally I have to say wood is better than plastic.”
“A little disappointed with this product, small board and pieces. Board light poor quality wood and not well finished. Pieces are small and Im concernednervous of losing any as they may be a choking hazzard to our infant.Its a travel set and functional although the board does not sit flat when open but in my opinion over priced. I had higher expectations given marketing.”
“I ordered this on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday. It is stunning. and the picture does not do it justice. The beautiful hand carved wooden pieces are so tactile and attached to the inside of the board with elastic, so they wont fall out The board itself is beautiful and it was magnificently hand wrapped by Lisa thank you Lisa if I could give this 20 out if 10 I happily would.”
“Going by individual requirement sold as seen very good value for money. Helps chess beginners in having a summary of the rules and the individual movements of each chessman. Any queries or issues with the seller are dealt with promptly and respectably making it a positive buying experience.”
