   This is a beautifully crafted chess set which I purchased for my 8 1/2 year old grandson who loves to play chess and is educationally advanced for is age. It is nicely weighted so it does not slide around. The only thing I was slightly disappointed with is that I thought it had a drawer that slid open for the pieces. One of the versions does by this same mfg. I thought that was what I was ordering. However I ordered the set where the top of the chess board lifts up and the pieces just sit down inside and slide around. Nothing to keep them secure or from hitting into each other and chipping. Otherwise a wonderful set, nice size pieces, a good weight and a nice set for ages 8 to 18 unless the child plays tournaments.

   This set is very special and we were so proud to give it to our 8 year old Grandson. He loves it. The storage area underneath the playing board is super nice. You can use the insert to house the chess pieces, or if you want, the insert comes out and the pieces can go in loose. It’s an impressive set, all wood, looks great and is a nice accessory for your living room or den.

   If you’re thinking of ordering this chess set, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed. The wooden board which is also a box is beautifully crafted, smooth, has little rubbery dots in all corners of bottom and of lid so it will close quietly and not mar your table. The box is a matte finish. The pieces are weighted and finished without flaws and have more of a satin finish. The pieces go into an included fabric pouch, but there is no grid inside, if that is something you are looking for. The photos are true to the product. It was also packed very securely–there was a little crunch on the corner of the outer carton, but that didn’t cause any damage to the chess set. This is a Christmas gift to my teenage son and I don’t know if I can wait a week to give it! I feel like I got my money’s worth.

   I bought this chess set for my 12 year old who enjoys playing chess. The craftmanship of the board is very impressive and the coloring of the wood is very nice (not cheap looking at all). The drawer is big enough to hold all the pieces and comes with a bag to put them in. I am not a chess player so I cannot comment on the weight of the pieces or the size of the playing area but there were several adults that also played with the set on Christmas Day and all commented on the set being very nice. I think it was a perfect gift and would highly recommend this set.

   We purchased this chess set because its knights look good. Our criterion of a well-made chess set is how well knights are made. But the knights we received look different from the item pictures provided by the seller and we are very disappointed with such poorly made knights. We are returning this item.

   I really like this chess board, the pieces are weighted pretty well and my chess board was stable. It is quite expensive if your not really serious about chess and don’t want spend a lot of money this is probably not the chess board for you. The only problem I’ve found with this board are the cushions on the bottom of the chess pieces are falling off but once they fall off it should be easy to reattach with some type of glue. If you want a nice solid chess board that will last you many years this would be a great chess board for you.

   This was purchased as a gift. I saw the chess set at Costco for way less. Brought it home and compared. Guess which one we are keeping to give as a gift? This one!! This one is so much nicer, fine detail on the wooden pieces, fine detail on the set and pretty wood. The one from Costco is much more plain, and the Costco one makes a perfect gift as well, this one is just much nicer.

   Excellent. All that I was looking for. The pieces all in perfect condition. The board is solid. Love the space inside to keep the pieces. Pieces are a good size and weight. Hard to remove a few of them from the insert that came but once out all was well. Not reusing the insert. I’m happy.

    Board was nicely built. Pieces were a little under weight to be weighted pieces. Nice overall and will last a a good time. One poor feature is the piece tray inside. It is just molded plastic. And is removable. Would be nice to have a permanent cushioned piece holder.
