The overall construction is very good. The wood looks lovely and each of the chess pieces is well constructed and fished with an even colour. It arrived well packaged and in an outer box which you can keep and use to protect it if required, especially when travelling.

Chess pieces are a bit light. But other than that good value for the money

I bought this for my grandson so that he could learn to play it with his dad. They are both very happy with it. It’s not fancy, it’s just as it should be – plain and straightforward for learning. It is substantial and nicely made, very good value indeed. For some reason the white draughts are a tiny bit smaller than the black draughts. The board is hinged down the middle and that forms the box, so I just wish there was some way that the pieces could be secured in the box when the board is open and in use, i.e. so that the chess pieces are still fastened in whilst you’re playing draughts.

The pieces all feel wonderful in the hand, were delivered promptly, and came in a convenient box for storage.

Very well built. Only concern is that after letting kids play the tip of the Kings came out and need gluing
