Nero High Polymer Extra Heavy Weighted Chess Pieces with Extra Queens - Pieces Only - No Board - 4.25 Inch King

The chess pieces quality is good. Even though wood would be preferred, I believe this material will be more durable and last longer.

These chess pieces are just what I wanted for casual speed games on my 2 1/2 inch squares chessboard! They also look just fine on a 2 1/4 inch squares board - not too crowded. The quality is very good as you can barely see a trace of a seam on any of the pieces - no doubt because of the complex and expensive moulding process that is used in their creation. I couldn't be happier! Well done!For an improvement to these pieces I removed the padded leather bottoms and replaced them with bottoms of thick billiard table cloth. This enabled each piece a super smooth glide across my chess boards. It was easy to do as the leather bottoms lifted off quite easily while remaining intact so I was able to use them as templates to make the new ones. I used cue tip glue for the adhesive as it sets in ten minutes but allows for the initial positioning of the new bottoms. I had been concerned about possibly scratching my boards as the edges of the leather bottoms are a little on the sharp side and I often play fast paced bullet chess games. Now I'm pretty much worry free as to how my opponents physically handle the pieces when in this time format!Gordon W.

Started out with a large square board found at an antique store, but it didn’t have any pieces & I thought oh well, I’ll just find pieces later. I had no idea that when I found them through Amazon, I’d be blown away at the quality of the product. Wow, quite impressive.

colors and originality very nice looking the weight is perfect.

Quality is not as it should be
