Beautiful set. There are some minor flaws but i expected that since it is handmade. The layers of the green onyx really come out beautifully due to the way they are shaved. The storage case is much nicer than expected and the board its completely smooth, with no gaps between the spaces. my one complaint would be that the bottom of one of my knights is not completely flat and it wobbles slightly. I do wonder if it would be nice to have felt on the bottom of the pieces but it's possible the maker decided against that. Great value for the price definitely something i will use for the rest of my life.
