   It’s basically a travel version of the Staunton Tournament 5 Board and Pieces for under $80/us. Presently, that’s a good deal and the set arrived flawless. Board lays flat and no gaps. Probably wouldn’t notice it was a fold-up board at a glance. The board as a case is functional though I’ll likely remove the fake felt plastic cutouts and insert memory foam, and perhaps replace the clasps and hinges with something more substantial. Good platform to work with for the money. Also note, as of the time of this writing, the Tournament 5 Pieces are difficult to find aside from buying this set. One small downside of most sets (still 5 stars), it is a 32 piece set, thus no “spare” queens. So, I’ll wait for the Tourney 5 Pieces to come back in stock at a good price then buy another set of pieces and a non-fold version Tourney 5 board and have spares for both.

   On my initial opening of clasp , clasp broke. (Pin popped out)Lets hope things improve. Since this set is backordered. I removed the clasp and threaded the pin behind the clasp as should have been done the first time. At least the clasp now functions correctly on second attempt

   Déçu par la commande.
   Le plateau est fait en contreplaqué de très basse qualité. le tout est tellement léger, que ça ne donne pas l impression de tenir un objet de qualité. De plus la finition intérieure ( un simple plastique moulée floqué en vert) ne tiens pas en place, il tombe sans arrêt.
   Troisième point noir, la jointure est mal fait de sorte que lorsque mis à plat,les deux parties presente une différence de niveau, gênant pour jouer.
   Les pièces ne sont pas plombées.
   Bref qualité déplorable.

   I regret spending more than $20 for this set. Go for a cheaper one… they are very cheaply and poorly made.

   the board is very nicely made. the pieces are not as fine as i anticipated; i am not sure if it is the type of wood used, or the quality of the carving but i thought it could have been better. that being said, i am satisifed.

    I have tournament chess sets on vinyl, wooden and magnetic chess etc. Having several different sets I was still looking for better one. I’m not looking any more. This one, that I bought couple weeks ago is so great. I was looking for one crafted of wood in a box with, what is very important for anybody who plays chess, engraved edge coordinates. This chess set has it all. The big wooden box, side of 18.5″, is made with a great precision. Truly, it is beautiful. Chess figures are of the right size; king 3.5″ pawn 1.75″, and they do not overcrowd the board, giving you great pleasure even looking at them. There was one thing required fixing though. The plastic forms holding figures were not glued but simply inserted in the box – couple drops of crazy glue have fixed that. That cannot change my opinion about this set. I’m taking a good care of it. This is truly a beautiful chess set. You will like it.

    Beautiful set. The smell of the wood is lovely and the quality is very smooth and well-done. My husband and kids love this chess set. Thank you.

    I’ve had this for about a year now and I’m really glad I purchased it. The pieces could be a little heavier but it’s not too noticeably light. I think some have retrofitted metal washers at the base to give it more weight but this requires tracking down some additional materials (incl. felt)

    The board is a great size, and the proportion of pieces to square size is perfect for casual play (not sure if it’s regulation exactly) but it’s exactly what I wanted out of this set. It looks nice enough to keep out on display and stores easily in a convenient size. Not the most portable set but it can easily be moved around for occasional games outside the house.
