Chess Armory Wooden Chess Set 15 Inch - Premium Beech Wood Handcrafted Game Board for Adults and Kids with Extra Queen Pieces and Storage Box - Ideal for Home and Travel - Non-Magnetic

Beautiful set, great quality.

I compared the Chess Set (wooden pieces + case) to others, and chose Chess Armory for its Great Value, comprised of Quality Workmanship PLUS Free Tutorial course that applies to both beginners and advanced players.I would buy it again, and expect to buy more sets for grandchildren.

Very nicely crafted.

Great set to teach

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.

This is a great set. Reasonable price and looks good.

BOARD:The board is well-made with nice rounded corners, lightweight, foldable, and portable. The latches click in place so you know it won't open up on you.PIECES:The pieces look nice, are easy to move around, have light magnetism, and cool soft purple felts underneath. BONUS: It comes with two extra queens, 1 per color.STORAGE:Convenient storage but I couldn't remember where all the pieces go.I've attached a photo showing:12 pieces across the top (2N, 8P, 2N)12 across the middle (2R, 8P, 2R)10 across the bottom (2B, 2Q, 2K, 2Q, 2B)

Once they put together.

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

Love it. It's a good size, the pieces and the board are made from a nice wood, and every piece is held in place inside the board when you store it by a little elastic band. Also for a very affordable price given how expensive some chess sets can be.

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.

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

I like the look, construction, and feel of this set. However I ordered this chess set, after I entered a search for a magnetic set, but this set is not.
