Description
The 14-inch chess set consists of a beech and birch wood board that features hand-burned ornaments to add an extra twist to a classic design, and solid hornbeam and beech chessmen. The pieces are hand-polished and weighted for better balance and comfort during the game. They have a special tray for storage on the inside of the folding board, which makes this lightweight chess set great for travelling.

The chess board is of a good quality. You have to take all the pieces out to unfold the board.would of given it 5 stars if the pieces were weighted as they are a bit light

This is a brilliant chess set, the pieces are beautifully carved and it all fits nicely back into the box. It’s a good size too so easy to tidy away after playing.
