   Great board and pieces. Shipper please take better care of packing pieces INSIDE foam inserts so that they can’t move around and scuff each other during shipping.

   ** 2 stars removed from this review due to 1) one of the queen’s crowns literally broke and fell off within the first hour of using this, and then 2) the pieces are very very top-heavy and fall over pretty easy if the board is bumped or moved at all (especially the Knights because the horses head is so big) which we found to be incredibly annoying and frustrating. Overall when I first opened this chess set I was super excited to start using it, it was so insanely heavy and took a while to get it fully unboxed. The board especially feels super premium and very nice and I love how the drawers fit and hold every single piece perfectly. However, things were not as great once we looked at the pieces themselves. First off, all the pieces are super tall and very top heavy (especially the knights) so they fall over almost constantly. Every time you accidentally bump the board, or bump a piece with your wrist while moving another piece, or whatever you do basically on the board will cause a piece to fall over at least 3 or 4 times a game. This isn’t a dealbreaker, and the board and pieces themselves still are pretty nice, but it’s pretty frustrating that the pieces aren’t nearly as well designed as the board itself. Also, in the very first game only an hour after I’d opened the box, I noticed one of the queen’s crowns was just freely spinning which seemed super odd, and turns out the crown had just completely broken off on the top. I was able to super-glue it back into place, but I definitely shouldn’t have to do that within an hour of first getting this game. (Also, when I first unboxed the set, one of the pieces had somehow come out of it’s holding area and was freely moving against some of the padding inside the box and I think it was the black queen, so it’s possible that’s why it was broken). As for the rest of the item, the case is absolutely gorgeous and so smooth with no scrapes or marks or anything at all on it, it’s just perfect. The drawers fit super well and slide in and out with ease, and all the pieces fit perfectly in their places in the drawers, very very snug fit (almost too tight) which I really like. All in all, I love this chess set and it’s a nice quality board and set and I’m excited to play it more, but the issues with the pieces falling over and being top heavy and falling over a lot definitely ruin the experience a bit, especially for the price of the set, and that’s why I give this an 7/10, maybe recommend.

   It’s very beautiful and more than the mind can imagine; my imagination feels flattered by its presence and quality

   I got this and wanted to gift it to a very special person who loves chess. I did that on her birthday and unfortunately instead of getting a wow what an amazing gift set you gave, she said it was missing all the chess pieces. It became more of a horrible gifting Experience. Very bad Quality Packing. I would say Look Elsewhere!

   First off let me say everything looks beautiful and well-made. However, my king is damaged due to either poor handling by the mail, service or backpacking by company. When you receive your product you get a warranty card advising you if there’s any issues you can give them a call or email them. They will replace it for free. I have done both and have not yet received a response. The phone number listed seems a little fishy to me. All I want is for my piece to be replaced. I will send an update of this review in another week.

   Update: 01/25/2024
   The phone number they put on their warranty card did not work however after a day they answered my email.
   They corrected my problem and I am happy. So I change my rating from a 3 star to 4 star.

   I love this chess set. It’s well-made and classy looking. I love the look of the metal pieces against the wooden chessboard. It has convenient drawers for storing the chess pieces. This is nice enough to keep on display in the rec room or den.

   Ordered through boardgamesweekly.com 1-12-2024, received 1-16-2024. Handling and shipping were surprisingly expeditious. Couldn’t wait to open the exceedingly well packaged boxes, yes there were three. We carefully examined each piece, which frankly was a waste of valuable time – as each piece was perfect, and weighted. The board is cleverly integrated with storage and very convenient. The fit and finish resembles that of fine furniture – we love that too. If you are considering purchasing a chess set for yourself or as a gift – this is sure to please.
