Money well spent! - my new review

Amazing! Everyone who sees it is impressed by its beauty. That's my feedback. Nice heavy pieces make for an enjoyable game. I love it.

Pros
  • The intricate design of the Staunton and Ambassador chess pieces elevates the game to a whole new level of class and sophistication
Cons
  • Availability might be an issue in some countries

Very nice and excellent customer service

I received this chess set and it is exactly as described. Beautiful pieces and board. Some reviewers said they could not tell the difference between green and white pieces and that is not the case for me. They are easily distinguishable. When I received the set, two playing pieces were broken. I contacted the maker/seller and they were very apologetic and sent replacements with extras very quickly. I am very satisfied with the purchase of this chess set. I even bought the matching checkers…

Pros
  • The combination of onyx and marble creates a luxurious and indulgent atmosphere for players and spectators alike
Cons
  • Might look old-fashioned and unappealing to modern gamers

Beautiful gift: my feedback

This was a great gift but u think being this expensive they would pack it well enough not to have pieces broken in shipping. My son is in Germany serving his country and it makes getting it returned almost impossible.I am troubled by the fact that pieces were broken

Pros
  • having fun
Cons
  • Prone to chipping/scratch damage with mishandling

Beautiful set in my review

What a gorgeous set this is. This set is extremely well made and sturdy. It came with little felt stickers to put on the bottom of the pieces (I kind of wish it was done for me, but no big deal). Came with a storage box, though I probably won't be using that - after all, this set is part fun, and part decoration.One piece wobbled so I contacted the seller and they gave me a choice of either a replacement piece, or a small refund. They were very helpful and responded quickly (within about 24…

Pros
  • The natural variations in the patterns of the onyx give each individual set a unique and one-of-a-kind character
Cons
  • The set's large size might make storage a hassle

Great to exercise your brain!

I'm 60 years old and the Radicaln is giving me a very good time with my wife and family. This could help me to exercise my brain and improve my logic thoughts. I'm super excited about it and feeling challenged! That's is great!

Pros
  • Most aesthetically pleasing . It’s a quality gift for a loved one.
Cons
  • Excessive moisture or humidity might result in the loss of the luster

A beautiful chess set

A very pretty ( and heavy) piece. It arrived in one piece and the packing job was good. The chess pieces are carved nicely. My only negative comment is that the storage box looks chintzy considering how nice the chess set is.

Pros
  • Wonderful gift
Cons
  • May take up a larger space for display when not in use

Beautiful, with minor flaws

Beautiful! Nice heavy set. Onxy pieces had a nice mix of colors. Only complaints are that one marble pawn is darker than the rest, and one other piece is not as smooth on the bottom so it wobbles. Otherwise, great set.

Pros
  • Beautiful. Pieces are solid and fit well in the hand. Elevated the game to an art. Very impressed.
Cons
  • Might require custom packaging during transit, which could add to the costs

Great customer service

We are so happy with our chess board. The pieces are high quality and beautiful. Our set was missing one of the kings and the company was amazing with being responsive to the issue and quickly sending me replacements. Amazing customer service! Super happy

Pros
  • The durable and sturdy construction of the board and pieces ensure that this set will last for generations to come
Cons
  • The set's highly polished surface may increase the glare/reflection issues

Quality of carry case is horrible!

The board and pieces are great with good detail, the carry case on the other hand has very poor workmanship because the latches will not stay latched.

Pros
  • The rich and varied patterns of the onyx create a mesmerizingly beautiful effect that draws the eye
Cons
  • Pieces may be too heavy to move around, making the gameplay slower

Husband loves it! best in my review

My husband LOVES this chess set! I purchased it for his birthday and was very impressed with the quality of the board, pieces, and case. Another review mentioned a large logo on the case being a negative but the logo is just a sticker and was easy to just peel off if you don't want it.

Pros
  • The high-quality craftsmanship of this chess set ensures that it is an investment in timeless elegance and style
Cons
  • Not suitable for players who want more customization options in their pieces

The sellers are amazing, and great quality

I had one piece break, the queen as it was a little thin, but no problem because the seller fixed if fast. And the fix was to make it thicker, they could have sent the same type hence the same issue but no, they fixed it. Then sent me two! That's service my friends!

Pros
  • ► For Everyone: It is best board game for the people of any age group; Kids to Adults.
Cons
  • Precautions need to be taken in case it is knocked over as it could cause harm due to the heavy pieces

This is a wonderful chess set. The board is a great size for playing and the pieces are beautiful. Every one of them is unique. I like the weight of the pieces. This could be a great gift or something for yourself.

Pros

Cons
  • May not be the most comfortable set to hold for extended periods

It’s heavy duty and beautiful!

The product is heavier than I thought it would be, which I like. It’s packaged with so much care, and everything is lovely and in tact. The colors are bright and look just as depicted, and it delivered within just a few days. Super happy with this purchase!

Pros
  • ►Multi-Purpose: This chess set can be an exciting gift and also to used as home decor item.
Cons
  • Onyx pieces may become unstable if knocked or bumped during the gameplay

Peices are Good But Case is Worthless

Really wanted this set with the case. When I got it the case was in such bad shape I had to send it back. If I just wanted the peices I could have bought a different set for $85. It wouldn’t have held the peices and the board. Plus there is a big logo on the cover. Not what I expected at all. Buyers beware.

Pros
  • The smooth and polished surface of the board and pieces make for easy and enjoyable gameplay
Cons
  • Onyx might require regular maintenance to keep it shiny and retain the colors' natural luster

Pros
  • Whether used for friendly competition or as a display piece in your home, this chess set exudes a sense of luxury, elegance, and refinement that is unmatched by other board games
Cons
  • Pieces may be too heavy to move around, making the gameplay less smooth
