I bought this chess set to play chess with my husband and I am very pleased with the product. I like that the board is the case. I also like that it is not like a checker board, it has letters and numbers down the sides the way a chess board should have. The inside of the case/board is lined with velvety kind of material which protects the pieces, a plus indeed. The pieces themselves are beautiful.

The Chess set is very compact and looks really nice. The only thing I didn’t like was the stickons on the bottom as they are not so durable. But other than that every thing is fantastic. It looks good, very compact and well colored.

We liked the familiarity of the pieces and the wood has a good feel. The case is lined and it stays locked when transporting. We especially like the European King and Queen, they are easily recognized. The only piece that is hard to distinguish during play is the bishop. Confused with the pawns, it could have been a little taller to make it easier to find. It made a wonderful gift for my father.

Not to small and not to big. I think its the perfect size board and pieces. Well crafted for that custom look and feel. It does not look mass produced. I love it.

I am giving the chess set as a Christmas gift so I don't have feedback from the recipient yet but I opened the package and checked it out. It looks like a great set for the 10 year old I am giving it to.

The king and queen are non-staunton design and done VERY well. The letters and numbers on the rank and file look like a 3rd grader did them with a wood burning kit. Over all it serves the purpose of being light, portable and affordable. 5 stars if they had printed the lettering.

Great chess set. I bought it to use for study. It has the notation right on the board like I wanted. It is well built and the pieces are cool. Recommended.

Perfect for the break area. Put a card out to indicate which run is up and people make few moves as they pass through. At lunch people play for real and it’s a big hit. Pieces are not weighted but sit well due to felt bottoms.

We only needed a chess board but this board, a bit on the smaller size, included the hand carved pieces in a nice folding chess board box. Best of all - it was made in Poland; not China!

It's nice and compact but the pieces are still large enough to handle quite well. It's just a great little set.
