I wanted to buy my child a cheap chess set because otherwise it could break or lose pieces. This is a good set for the price. Chess pieces are comfortable to the touch and have weight. The magnets are strong enough to hold them in the board. Queen looks a little dainty compared to chess pieces. It comes with a drawstring pouch but I swapped it out for a better one. Not recommended as a gift. The box was in a language other than English so I just threw it away.
