The pieces are simple, elegant, well weighted and good size. The case holds them nicely for travel and the board very smooth. The only feature which left me with something to be desired is the hinge which when opened for play leaves a small gap between sides. Not a deal breaker but feels like an overlooked detail, still plays the same and is recommendable.

Chess is such a wonderful game. It teaches strategy and so much more. I liked that this had storage.This is very attractive. I thought it was unique. It looked very pretty in the house. It would make a very nice gift for someone, as well.The quality was very good. It seemed to be very well made. It looked just like the picture. It really is beautiful. I would recommend it.
