My husband loves this because it is good quality and very portable while still nice to look at. The pieces are just weighted enough that they don’t easily fall over.

Super satisfied with my purchase! Wasn’t expecting it to be as big but that’s not a complaint. It’s actually made of some good quality wood. You can tell it’s some what hand made since the letters look hand drawn or chiseled. A lot of time and attention was put into the craftsman ship of each piece. Absolutely love it!

It’s a lovely set. We love to play chess and I was looking for a set that could sit out on the coffee table. It’s beautiful and folds completely flat. The pieces are weighted, but I wish they were a little heavier. The craft and details of it make it a great gift. Overall, satisfied!
