Its an ok chess board set but at that price range I would expect better quality control, the set I received had a lot of minor defects:- The stain color for black pieces varies quite a bit; the worst offender is a knight so dark it doesn't even look like it's from the same set- This being a magnetic set, magnets are inserted at the base of each piece, a few pawns have it popping out a little which make the pawns look like little crooked Pisa towers.- visible scuff marks on certain pieces- to the touch some pieces' stem are slightly oval rather than being roundI would say 15 inches is a bit big for a travel size. Avoid if you're looking for something compact.

This chess set is a basic set for casual players, the pieces are wood, carved well enough to tell what they are, and aren’t weighted at all. The pieces to have magnets in the base to keep them in place on the board. The set includes extra queen pieces. The board folds in half and doubles as a storage box with foam inserts that hold the pieces. The quality of the board is also decent enough, but definitely not what I would consider premium. It has a wood veneer adhered to a particle board substrate and the seam is exposed along the edges. The fit and finish are acceptable, but nothing premium. There are no letters or numbers on the board, so that may be a deal-breaker for serious students of the game. The maker included a velvet cloth pouch for the board, which is nice to protecting the set in storage. There is also a very basic rule book.Overall, I’m content with the set, but it’s not quite as nice as I expected for the price. It should do fine for playing with my kiddos around the house and last for many years as long as we don’t abuse it.

Birthday gift to my 37 year old daughter. I quote her remarks: "The chess set is amazing, great craftsmanship, simple, but stylish. The box it in came in was very nice. Best of all, the pieces still smell like varnish!

We were happy with it. Ordered it for our family with 3 boys to play. The kids loved the size of the chess pieces as well as the board. They LOVED the fact that they have another Queen piece =) Quality wise, good for the price we pay. Not disappointed.

Well-made chess set. Great for daily use and very stylish. It's not perfect, but it's very good for the price.
