nice hand made chess set, its quite rough around the edges but that gives it a “my granded made this” feel 🙂

Simple, beautiful, stylish, everyone who’s visited my living room has noticed it and inquired about it.

I have bought this for my grandson who is beginning to ‘get into’ chess. It is a birthday present, so it has not yet been opened. Assuming the product inside is as described, I will be happy in the near future to recommend it heartily. If there are any problems with it, I will get in contact too. Thank you. It arrived very much on time, so top marks for that.

Bought this as a gift. The little wooden pieces are are intricately handcrafted. Love the traditional look and the richness in colour. Only downside I would say is that it would have been useful if there were spare Chess pieces (to use for kings) Other than that it’s great.
