Wooden Chess Set 15 Inch - Classic Handcrafted Game Board for Adults with Extra Queen Pieces and Storage Box - Ideal for Home and Travel - Non-Magnetic

This is an excellent product for someone just learning chess or who wants an inexpensive portable self-contained set. The board and pieces are made from wood. it provides a good balance of quality and cost. Customer support is superb (more later). I would buy this set and further patronize Chess Armory again. The board is large enough to play on comfortably, but small enough to put in a briefcase or back pack. The board folds in half with the squares out, and the individual pieces are retained inside with elastic bands. It has light metal hinges and clasps to hold it closed. You could add a large rubber band or a Velcro band to additionally secure the closed board if you are so inclined, but, I don't think it is necessary. I liked the quality and design of the board. The pieces are reasonably large (3" king) and have a traditional style which I believe is called Staunton. They are light tan and dark reddish brown. The grain is barely apparent in the pieces. The quality of the pieces is not as high as the board. The first set I ordered had a blemished bishop with a dark gouge. The rest of the pieces were of a suitable quality. The replacement set pieces are a little rougher, but unblemished, and of an acceptable quality. The owner of Chess Armory contacted me to see if I was happy with the original set and to provide a very nice PDF from Wikibooks on how to play chess. Good for beginners and intermediate players. I told the owner about my problem and that I had set up the return to Amazon for a replacement. He offered to refund the replacement cost. Overall this has been an excellent experience for me and I would patronize Chess Armory again.

Made with impeccable quality! So buttery smooth and tightly velvety lined for each piece to fit. Our youngest is a Chest Enthusiast and this was one of his favorite gifts! He is still learning a lot of strategies and is constantly playing on this board, have family fun competitions while he sneaks in new strategies he has learned. It’s perfect size to store in a kids room who already has a ton toys! The price of the entire set was very well! A great purchase for sure, one we won’t regret!

My son bought this as a beginner after one of his friends taught him how to play. The wood is very smooth and beautiful. The pieces fit nicely inside so he can carry it around. Locks work well to hold all the pieces in so far. The pieces are even very good quality in my option. My son really likes this set, and it has helped him learn something new so he can grow in his skills.

This is a great size and overall good quality set. It loses a star because one of the interior panels that hold the pieces was detached and I had to glue it down. Aside from that, no issues. Great value for a casual chess player!

Looks good, stable, pieces stand nicely on the board and store nicely when stored away.

Super nice, made very sturdy. My son loves it.

Nice wood set for a good price.

Pretty pleased with this. Good quality, attractive and functional.

Bought this set as a birthday present for our oldest but was disappointed with the quality of the pieces. Amazon's chat is rubbish; selected the option to read unread messages from the seller but was redirected to the homepage instead. This coming from a supposed leading online shopping platform is laughable.

Las fichas son muy ligeras y la madera no se siente de buena calidad. Lo demás está bien. Me gustaron las bandas elásticas para detener las fichas en el interior del tablero

Slightly damaged (crack on the edge). Took weeks to be delivered, so no way to return and wait again.
