“This set was bought as a gift for christmas, and was beautifully wrapped when delivered. As such, I did not see the contents until my boyfriend opened it on christmas day. It was great quality and he was delighted the magnetic latch on the board to fold it closed is a lovely touch.My favourite thing about this purchase, however, was the personal message that was received afterwards, in particular informing me that if there was any problem, at all, that I could speak to a real person on the phone, and thanking me for buying a real chess set instead of choosing to play online. a great company I truly commend the customer service. Thanks you!”

“I chose this a good, quality and value for money chess set for my son.Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I have knocked a point off for craftsmanship because I was slightly disappointed with the pieces I have seen better representations of the Stauntonstyle of chess piece the carvingsmouldings are a little crude, for instance the knights look more like dogs to me than horses plus the wood is quite light and plasticky.But... I am being hypocritical. Overall, this is a good and pleasingontheeye chess set from an excellent and traditional company.”

“This was the third chess set I have bought this holiday season from different retailers. The first had a chemical smell to it, the second had a scratch across the board and the folding board didnt match up. I was so relieved when this one arrived with even colouring on the squares, well made chess pieces and wrapped beautifully. The price is a surprise as I was looking in a higher range so I am delighted and hope my chess mad 11 year old will be too.”
