nice chess set, its quite rough around the edges but that gives it a “my granded made this” feel 🙂

I bought this for my grandson so that he could learn to play it with his dad. They are both very happy with it. It’s not fancy, it’s just as it should be – plain and straightforward for learning. It is substantial and nicely made, very good value indeed. For some reason the white draughts are a tiny bit smaller than the black draughts. The board is hinged down the middle and that forms the box, so I just wish there was some way that the pieces could be secured in the box when the board is open and in use, i.e. so that the chess pieces are still fastened in whilst you’re playing draughts.

Very well built. Only concern is that after letting kids play the tip of the Kings came out and need gluing

Being interested in chess, I wanted to buy my first chess board. When I opened the package I was rather surprised, the chess board was much larger than I thought it was. The wood looks incredibly nice, the pieces are weighted as well, they feel very sturdy. Very professional set.

Chess pieces are a bit light. But other than that good value for the money
Morgan –
The overall construction is very good. The wood looks lovely and each of the chess pieces is well constructed and fished with an even colour. It arrived well packaged and in an outer box which you can keep and use to protect it if required, especially when travelling.

The pieces all feel wonderful in the hand, were delivered promptly, and came in a convenient box for storage.

Arrived quickly and well packaged with all the pieces in. It came with a strong smell of aerosol – a sign of being new I assumed? This soon went after a few days but was a bit off putting at first.
The set is well made and robust, and having the choice of two games is useful. I liked the way you store the game parts and it’s very useful to transport – we’ve taken this away with us several times and it’s always used.

I have bought this for my grandson who is beginning to ‘get into’ chess. It is a birthday present, so it has not yet been opened. Assuming the product inside is as described, I will be happy in the near future to recommend it heartily. If there are any problems with it, I will get in contact too. Thank you. It arrived very much on time, so top marks for that.

Simple, beautiful, stylish, everyone who’s visited my living room has noticed it and inquired about it.

Bought this as a gift. The little wooden pieces are are intricately handcrafted. Love the traditional look and the richness in colour. Only downside I would say is that it would have been useful if there were spare Chess pieces (to use for kings) Other than that it’s great.
Dan –
