“I was looking for a travelling set to teach someone to play and stumbled across Jaques if London.It is a beautiful folding set and I like being able to store the pieces without them rolling around. The pieces are lighter than my set at home, but just right for travelling.The presentation, communication and support of the seller reassured me, if I were to have any problems, I know I could contact them.”

“The set is very well presented and comes nicely wrapped. Unfortunately its made of very light weight wood and does not feel substantial at all. Not great to play chess with. The board folds in half but the squares do not line up perfectly which makes it feel a bit cheap. The service was excellent and my refund was processed promptly.”

“Product is ok but Chess pieces not finished properly and were rough. Chess board is hinged and one side was high making a groove so you cannot slide across the board.”
