Customer Reviews
Great experience, no issues, excellent communication about transit and delivery. The set is very handsome and just what I expected.
Delivered quickly, love how the Chess game stores and folds up together. He couldn't wait to play, whole family has been learning the game.
The chess set is great. The quality and workmanship is sirpurb. The board does not buckle. We love this set.
Wishing it came with an instructional page though.
The customer service was great also. The set arrived promptly without a hitch.
Five Star all around*****.
I like the chess set for the money nice and not to fancy. Good quality board and nice compartment to hold each chess piece. However, in the shipping process the chess board was slightly damaged due to putting the chess board in a large longer box where it would slide around to each end when picked up. It should have been packed better so it wouldn't slide freely. The corner was slightly damaged but not enough for me to merit sending it back. A shame there wasn't better care in packing such a nice set for the money. Root cause is use a box the right size and pack it so it doesn't slide and get damaged.
Overall I was quite disappointed in the "overall" quality of the chessmen. They were also advertised to be "weighted" pieces, but if they were I could not tell it. The chessboard and inside storage were fine.
