Not worth the price, at all.
I’m so disappointed. I knew it was on the smaller side but it’s a lot smaller than what I anticipated. The felt is cheap – crooked on the pieces. The pieces themselves are on the rougher side. The picture is misleading in the sense that the storage part looks deep but it’s not…you just have to throw in the pieces and play around with them before you can get it to close. I saw reviews that people spent $30 or so on this…I paid $65 and it was NOT worth that amount in the slightest.

good make and nicely carved pieces
Cute little chess board. Latch does not seem to be very robust. Other than that, good make and nicely carved pieces.

Ok chess set. It’s lite weight. I am an avid player and thought the set would be, heavier pieces. I’ll use this to play with my children.

Chess pieces bulky
Chess pieces are way to bulky for my taste.. they really didn’t show this in ads that I bought because of.. As for the board.. well it’s one of the finest on the market.. just plain BEAUTIFUL.. Threw the chess pieces in the trash.. and must shop for useful chess pieces.. in the mean time using old chess pieces.. bye the bye .. the insides of where pieces are to be stored.. is really low class workmanship

Quality set
Mine arrived slightly damaged, the “balls” of the queens crown had fallen off but they were all in the case and it was easy to gorilla glue back on. The board and pieces look great in our small library, well made.

Gorgeous set!
The style of the chess pieces are unique and classy and the board itself has a nice design to it. It’s on the small side, but not small enough to make the pieces look cramped on the board and not too small enough to distract you from the game. Lightweight and compact so it’s very easy to take everywhere. Very happy with the set!

great quality but slightly smaller than expected.
really great quality especially for the price. it is smaller than I expected and the hinges seem very small. I will be using this regularly so I’ll report back on how they hold up.

Good Quality!
A nice chess set for my teenage son. The craftsmanship is gorgeous! The box that it comes in is well-made and pleasant to look at. I looked at many chess sets, and read many reviews, here on SAH Creatives before I eventually decided on this one. I’m glad I chose this one!

Disappointed
The quality lacks here. This board came with scuffs on the corners and hinges broke off. I’m disappointed. Not worth the price.

Wow! It’s Really A Beautiful Chess Set! =)
When I first this chess set I couldn’t believe it was as good as the pictured showed. But it was even better than what I saw! The pieces were so awesome, it was just really nice to finally get a magnificent chess set. The price was really low, for something like this it should have cost me at least 90-$100 but I got it for under $35.00! Thank you so much I really enjoy my new chess set and the case it comes with makes it so much easier to teach my wife how to play chess. Wow…

I bought this for my 7 year old. I found the set to be a bit more rustic than expected. The wood is stained, but not sanded, so it’s rather rough. He doesn’t mind, however. He would likely give it 5 stars when it comes to use. Since I paid for it I’m going with 4.

A nice set for getting out to play once in a while.
One of the little balls on my black queen came off immediately upon opening. Other than that simple design that’s easy to track.

Better than your average chess set, but still affordable
This is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable chess set! It’s a little bit unique and stands apart from all the other basic chess sets, but doesn’t cost much more. Definitely worth it.

I just wish it were made with more dense materials as it feels that it will be easily broken. Otherwise
Arrived quickly and the style is unique. I just wish it were made with more dense materials as it feels that it will be easily broken. Otherwise, I’m sure my son will enjoy it come May when I give it to him.

Bought this board for my 16yo son for Christmas. He loves it! Says it’s the coolest board. It’s a beautiful board, with highly glossed chessmen. It really is something

Beautiful set!
My 11 year old son was in the chess club at school and he really loved the look and feel of this set and it made him feel very professional to use it. I would have preferred the pieces be a little larger/heavier…. but it is a lovely set even though he wins most of the time when we play!

Great value and craftsmanship
Purchased as a family chess set as my daughter has shown an interest in playing. It has fine craftsmanship and is an excellent value. The pieces fit well in the storage. Looks great in our living room and makes the game very enjoyable.

Not what I expected
Workmanship not as good as I expected. It looked beautiful but the wooden balls on the top of the queen were all off and rolling around in the box. I returned the item. I bought a much more expensive chess set. It is brass and I love it.

Looks bad in person.
The number and letters are hand stamped and very poorly done. Looks like they literally used a ink stamp to do it and none of them are centered or parallel to the next. On the inside the tray holding in all the pieces is a type of thing plastic you’d get from toys when unboxing them and is not going go hold up well. The pieces are very roughly carved and really not worth the price they charge.

Beautiful chess set well excellent for traveling. Verompact. Just expected it to be a little large.
The chess board, is well created unfortunately the picture on the Website looks much larger then the product. It’s well crafted however I expect more for the price and it was a gift for my husband.
