Pretty nice quality. Has correct number of chess pieces so, there’s that. It’s heavier than you might think, but that’s because it’s made of actual wood. This is not some cheap Chinese stuff, but actual hand crafted (not using child labor apparently) and will provide hours of entertaining critical thinking playing chess. Unless you’re playing against someone way better than you and you just get frustrated and don’t play again.

Excellent, thoughtful craftsmanship. A pleasure to behold and touch. Lovely detail on the pieces, and they are nicely weighted. I chose this set over another because of the extra detail of the pieces and the board, and I’m glad I did. Every element adds interest. It is a delight.

Love the size, feel, and look. The inserts are little flimsy as stated in other comments but it’s an insert to hold the pieces when stored so don’t really care about it. The pieces have a nice weight to them. Some say they are to light but I guess it would be a personal preference if you like the heavy pieces.

Bought this for my dad on December 22nd for Xmas as a last-minute gift. It arrived 5 hours earlier than expected, giving me extra time to wrap (yea)! When my dad opened it, he really loved it, and played the next day with my son. Both of the guys were impressed with the quality and detail of this chess set. I was really thrilled with how it worked out! Big Xmas Win! 😀

I just so enjoy playing chess with this set. Nice size board and pieces and just like the pictures are beautiful. Pieces feel nice in the hand with enough weight to them; and are easy to distinguish on the board.If you are one of the sorts of people that appreciates the shape of a glass in your hand as you drink from it or the feel of a nice balanced pen as you write, then you will be able to appreciate the aesthetics of playing chess with this set.
