“Im trying to decide if the crooked bored and irregularity in the pieces is quaint quirky or poor quality. I think its a decent chess set for 20, not 30.”
“The board is very well made, but the pieces are poor not crafted skillfully, the felt on the bottom of them must have been slapped on plus not glued on properly so the pieces sat at all angles.”
“The game itself is fine. Unfortunately they dont take care of the details. The packaging is very good, but the content leaves a lot to be desired. Board with some scratches, pieces with imperfections and so on and on.”
“I had expected better quality from a chess set costing 40 ! The checkered pattern doesnt match up correctly when the board is opened up flat and some pieces have varnish drips underneath the felt bases which means they dont sit straight on the beard. Come on Jagues ... for this price you should be doing a lot better!”
“My husband and I really enjoy chess and I have been looking for a chess set for a long time that was well crafted, neat and also good value for money. We found it at Jacques London.When the chess set arrived it was beautifully wrapped and presented with a note telling us it had been personally wrapped by Victoria. The instructions were really well presented on cards and came in a lovely envelope.The pieces themselves are wonderfully crafted and there is little elasticated string that holds the individual chess pieces with in the board when you want to store it away.I highly recommend buying your chess set from Jacques.”
