Review on 15" Handmade Marble Chess Set - Staunton & Ambassador Gift Style - Black/Fossil Coral by Corey Holloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Couldn't be happier!

I bought this Chess set after a lot of searching; I bought it as a Christmas gift for my 10-year old daughter. It looked like the quality met the price point, but you never know from pictures and reviews. I was concerned because the description noted it was a bit fragile and the shipping process might damage it. Also, folks noted that it needed felt pieces. The package came on time and was packaged more than adequately. All the pieces were in perfect shape and as beautiful as I could have imagined them. The board and pieces are quite heavy and quite gorgeous. The blue carrying case is cheap and flimsy, but adequate enough if handled carefully. The pieces DO fit in the slots but required some delicate stuffing. The set DID come with a complete set of stick-on felt pieces as well, with several left over. I made the right decision on the chess set. I could not be happier. I think this set is a true show piece. My daughter loves it and it looks great just sitting in the room. Thank you!
