    Great set, would recommend!

    This chess set is just what I wanted. Unlike most people (probably), I did not buy this set for tournaments or chess club. I wanted it for at-home use, since I don’t have a great place to store a traditional board, and also to take on trips to visit friends/family who like to play. It’s been great — the wooden pieces have a nice weight to them and the vinyl board packs away nicely. Nothing was damaged upon arrival. Would recommend!

    Awesome quality

    I bought this set for myself as a birthday gift & I couldn’t be happier. The pieces & board are larger size and the pieces are weighted perfectly. One pawn did arrive chipped, but contacted them and they immeadetly sent me a replacement piece. The carrying back is perfect, but this size set is more suitable for home play since the board even when rolled up is long & the prices altogether do carry a bit of weight. No complaints here though.
