“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.”
“Disappointed with the finish of the chess pieces. In the photos supposedly the same item! the quality of each piece looked much higher, thats why I decided to spend a bit more for what I thought we be better quality . Especially from such a highly regarded company .”
“Disappointed. Wrapping beautiful but main board had dried varnish drips in a couple of places that spoiled it overall. Also one of the chess pieces was chipped in manufacture and varnished over. Overall production quality was disappointing so did not find product value for money.”
“This chess set is really nicely wrapped but I would hate to give it to someone as a gift.Four pieces had problems to stand straight two of them had small protrusions at center of the bases, in two others the fabric on the bases was wrinkled. I fixed this in 5 minutes, but it shows the lack of QA andor attitude to the product. The fabric inside the board was glued not very careful as well.At the end I decided to keep it, colors and the touch of the wooden board are very appealing.”
