 With a little glue, These are Rad Feb 17, 2010
Very detailed items. They look very nice, but I did have to glue a couple of pieces back together. I haven't had any problems since then. Very highly recommend these if you have a wooden board.
Pretty and pretty cheap. Feb 13, 2010
This set looks lovely! Also no child labour was used in making it. Fantastic. My only complaint is the weird-looking bishops are kind of hard to tell apart from the rooks. But it's definitely no deal-breaker. Fun to look at and fun to play.
 review of Christmas present Feb 08, 2010
This was purchased as a Christmas present for twin 10 year old boys.
They have had fun learning about chess and like this set.
European chess set Jan 31, 2010
BEAUTIFUL! Excellent chess set for the money! It travels extremely well, very portable! The pieces aren't weighted, but they're well crafted. I was slightly disappointed that the seller didn't make much of an effort to protect the pieces or the lining of the box when it was shipped. None of the pieces were broken, but there were indentations on the lining of the box where the pieces hadn't been placed properly when the lid was closed before it shipped. Other than that, I love it! Excellent purchase!

High quality set Aug 28, 2009
Out of the box, the set was absolutely beautiful. It has sort of a home-made feel to it, which I thought was nice. Some of the algebraic notation around the board is a tad bit blurry--the letters and numbers have been carved, and a stain brushed in the grooves. It's perfectly legible, but some people may prefer uniform printed notation. i found the board has a certain charm absent in wood boards that merely have a checkered design printed on it.
The pieces look glorious on the board. I will say, however, that the queens are not made of one solid piece of wood. Still, this does not compromise the beauty of the piece (if you don't inspect it upside down, that is). In addition, these are not "triple weighted" pieces. They are fairly light, but perfectly suitable for play. the felt on the bottoms is especially nice, though I may trim the edges a bit in the future.
I will say, closing the board with the pieces inside is not something you can do quickly. None of the pieces may overlap AT ALL, or you will not be able to latch it shut.
Quite simply put, I love this set. I feel I have given an accurate summation of its virtues and vices, so to speak. So many chess boards are $100 or more--without the pieces included. This is a lovely set of a high quality. You won't find a nicer set at this price.
