nice set
 from Kansas City, MO,  May 12, 2010

This is a nice little chess set - smaller than I expected but not too small and very portable. It is well made and the drawers are designed so that you have to pull from both sides to open it - that keeps them from accidentally slipping open. The pieces seem hand carved and are attractive. Everything is wood and feels much nicer than plastic. The magnets aren't very strong but will hold the pieces in place if bumped or on a car ride. I feel like this chess board is solid and will last a while. I'm happy.

Great chess set
 from Fairborn, OH,  Jan 1, 2010

This is a great chess set. I bought it for my 15 year old grandson and it's great becausethe pieces are magnetic and if you accidental hit the board the pieces don't move.....plus it comes with it's own storage. That's a plus, too! I think it's a great value.

The board came in decent condition other than the top was warped a bit. I have had it for about a month now and the seams on the board between the dark and light squares are starting to separate. Other than that it is a really nice portable layout. I wish they had put a little more attention into the board top. A nice solid top would have made this the perfect set in my opinion.

  • How accurate was the sizing? Accurate
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. The board was warped and has started to split near the checkered seams.

Elegant wood chess set
 from Franklin, NH,  Dec 21, 2012

Very satisfied with the product, thank you. I like that it has drawers on both sides to hold all the pieces so they do not get lost. Also being magnetized helps the game pieces from toppling over on the board. Anyone who is looking for a wooden chess set should seriously consider this one. Not too big and bulky just right for an intense game of brain challenging play.

Perfect for a young chess player
 from Champaign, IL,  Dec 30, 2011

My 10 year old son loves it. The fact that it is magnetized makes it perfect for road trips or even playing on the couch. I love how the pieces store in little drawers on the side. No more lost pieces.

Kids chess set
 from WA state,  Dec 17, 2011

I don't really have any experience buying chess sets, 8 yr old grandson asked for it for Christmas. Just got it so I don't really have time to return it and go shopping for a new one. Anyway, the wood inlay seems to be more of a laminate, chess set is really small, guess I expected something larger. The 2 side handles are tiny with 2 little screwes and look like they will break easy. Kind of bummed out with my purchase

  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Fair
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Scratch down the side

Perfect!
 from Cypress, TX,  Dec 8, 2011

This was a great buy for my son & I to play. It is compact yet just the right size visually. The magnetic feature is a total bonus and works well. Storing the pieces underneath is awesome space saver and no worries about losing any of them. No worries about returning this. Get your tape measure out just to make sure. It is small enough to leave on an end table for anytime play. Take in the car, etc.

  • How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate. I was worried about being to small but it really is just right.
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very nice quality.

GREAT value
 from california,  Mar 12, 2011

This is a great little (smaller than the usual gameboard) chess set. Bought it for my grown son and he and his family are enjoying it thoroughly, since they have a 2 year old that always wants to be involved in any activities, the magnetic part of it is an EXTREME advantage. They are very happy with this chess set and are using it much more than expected. GET IT !!!!san

Good for kids
 from Seattle, WA,  Dec 1, 2010

The drawers are locked unless you pull the both side together which makes it really easier for my 4 yr old carrying it without spilling. She loves playing it with dad!
