Review on Handmade White & Green Onyx Staunton And Ambassador Chess Sets - Perfect Gift For Adults! by John Fenton

Product came as advertised. The color contrast between the white and the green pieces was good (although i would have to assume that varies based on the batch of rocks the manufactures are working with). The set is a good weight and the set feels solid, both board and pieces. It is clear these are hand carved pieces and therefore have a fairly limited uniformity, especially with the more complex pieces to carve, like the knight. I was fine with a little variation in the pieces but I do have to say that one knight had a slightly uneven base making it sit slightly crooked on the board, and the other knight seemed to have a chipped ear.Overall though, I am happy with my purchase, as is my girlfriend (whom I purchased this for as a gift). I would recommend it to others so long as they are ok with it not having completely uniform pieces. I think the uniqueness of the pieces pairs well with the uniqueness of the rock it is carved out of and am excited for it to be not only an intellectually challenging game for my girlfriend and myself but also an artistic centerpiece in whatever room we decide to keep it in.
