It's really just paper glued onto a thin wood frame. It peels off very easily. The box itself seems pretty fragile, it splinters easily and is very thin wood. The hatches seem like they'll break after not much use. The "storage bags" are just plastic Ziploc bags, not velvet drawstring bags like I expected. That all being said, it is functional. It would be fine for a beginner or for traveling, but it's certainly not a chess set to show off to people. I actually used it to create my own board by peeling off the paper and glue, drawing on a pattern for a different game, and staining it myself. I would have been disappointed if I had bought it with the intent to use it as a chess board. It did ship very quickly and I got it within two days of ordering it.

It's a cheap set. Supposed to be magnetic and it's sort of is but not really. The inside had some paint dust and the metal (magnetic) lining was loose. The pieces go into their own slots in a foam insert which is a lot better than letting them rattle around.

I bought this chess set for my 9-year-old grandson. It is well made. I love that it holds the pieces tightly inside, and that they are magnetic. Perfect for traveling.
