Great product! - my new review

This is an excellent product. It appears well made and the fact that it has a box that has individual places for each chess piece makes it especially nice. I highly recommend this for gift giving or individual use.

  • Easy to learn and play
Cons
  • The wood is not very dense

Great chess set if you don't want to spend a lot of money

I ordered this chess set for my adult daughter, who was visiting for the holidays. Her boyfriend is teaching her to play chess and I hadn't played since I was a child! I didn't want to spend a lot of money and this chess set was perfect. It's decent quality and the board sat flat. The pieces are well shaped and easy to slide on the board. I would recommend this set for anyone looking for a decent quality set for a great price.

Pros
  • Lightweight and foldable chessboard
Cons
  • The board is too intricate

Poor craftsmanship good for me

arrived on time, brass latch was hanging off, screws were stripped out of holes, i glued them back in to secure them, pieces were poorly carved, my 7 yr. old granddaughter can sculpt better then these. the box and board were good but could have used alil more finish, i'll do that. overall it's to take camping so not worth sending back and going thru all the bull.! buyer beware.

Pros
  • Magnetic pieces prevent accidental loss
Cons
  • The wood is not very resistant to temperature changes

Amazing set and great for storing!

I have loved this chess set and I’ve used it to improve my skills ever since I got it. It’s a really nice quality wood and lightweight which I find nice. The pieces felted bottoms leaves no scratches on the board and I love how the pieces fold into the inside of the board. Very compact, practical, and easy to use and I would highly recommend especially for a first chess set, or any experience player

Pros
  • Great gift for chess players of all skill levels
Cons
  • The pieces are not very distinctive in their appearance

Great Starter Set for my opinion

I purchased this item for my grandson who expressed a desire to learn the game. After searching around for chess sets that could be played at home and taken on the road, and most importantly, was within by price point, I chose this set. He absolutely loves his gift. I could not be more pleased.

Pros
  • Can be used for both entertainment or learning purposes
Cons
  • The wood is not very resistant to insects

Nice chess set - my new review

Nice starter set, if I get serious about the game I may want to step up and spend some real money on a fancy set. The magnetic pieces are not very strong.

Pros
  • I SENT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY GRANDSON AND HE HAS PLAYED ON IT ALMOST DAILY SINCE RECEIVING IT
Cons
  • The magnetic pieces are not very strong

It's a $23 Chess set - the quality matches the price

The quality is what I would expect for $23. the felt bottom is more like paper and bubble in the application need to be smoothed so the piece sets flat on the board. The pieces are lightweight. The board itself is good without any imperfections.

Pros
  • Ideal for brain training and mental exercises
Cons
  • The pieces are too lightweight

Great Chess Set best in my review

I purchased this for my husband. We are just learning & it's a perfect set. It looks nice and the pieces are magnetic, which I love. The board opens and lays nice & flat, can barely tell its two pieces.

Pros
  • Enhances cognitive skills and problem-solving abilities
Cons
  • The pieces are not very detailed

Great quality! - my new review

I bought this chess set because it was reasonably priced and looked like the set I had as a kid. I have to say it’s exceeded my expectations! The wood and felt is quality and I love that the pieces tuck inside the box for easy storage. It was a great buy!

Pros
  • Wooden construction keeps it eco-friendly
Cons
  • The wood is not very flexible

the board had a couple blemishes and when folded open has a slight ridge through the middle. nothing major but it would make me hesitate before giving it as a gift.

Pros
  • 2.05 pounds
Cons
  • The magnets can scratch the board
