This is a very pretty set. My 9 year old daughter loves to play chess and wanted her own set. i wanted to get her a cute set that wasnt too expensive, and that was fairly compact…we live in a small cabin with no closets, so we have very limited space. This set was perfect for our needs, and my daughter loves it. It is a pretty set, and the board is much nicer in person.

This chess set is what I expected for the price. The board is a nice size, and the actual pieces are the star of the show. The carvings are uniform, well-detailed and are decently weighted.

Our family is a bit new to chess, but I would have to say that this is a nice durable set. Larger pieces are easy to move. The whole thing is wood, so it’s really very attractive.

I bought this chess board to teach my 8 year old son how to play. The board and pieces are pretty nice actually. Maybe a tad steep for the price however, the board is really cool. The chess pieces are kind of sturdy and don’t seem to be really cheap. They slide around the board nicely. I’d recommend this if you’re looking for a decent chess board to play on and don’t want something too ordinary. I’d give this 5 stars if they improved the quality of the inside green piece that holds the pieces but its totally manageable and I think will be ok and you can always just pull it out and make something yourself to old the pieces.
