Hofit Furn –
This is a wonderful set. I would recommend it to any beginner or pro. I have to say,the handmade pieces are superbly crafted and i enjoy the look of them as well. I’m tired of the “run of the mill” chess design and wanted something more unique in the crafting. The pieces and board were made from farmed trees, so no environmental impact there, and there is a disclaimer on the box that no child labor was used in the creation. My initial reaction was “O-kayyy?” You just don’t see that disclaimer on the sets you buy in america, that’s all.Only negative is the piece storage area, underneath the board itself, feels cheesy, but for such a terrific price, such as this one, well worth the money spent.
