This was a perfect birthday gift for my partner. Its build heavy and has great quality. I am really happy for the price as well.

Chess pieces are very brittle the white Queen arrived Broke. Don’t Buy unless you have some Super Glue Handy.

This is a very pretty and heavy set. My sons LOVE it!

Let’s start with the size. Advertised for 16 inches, it’s truly 16 inches. I had to request a replacement game board because the one I received had many cosmetic issues (see pics). Wayfair got a replacement sent out for me and it’s a whole second game with pieces. These new pieces are very different from the first set. They are handmade so it’s somewhat expected I guess. The first one came in a black cardboard box (not elegant at all). The second one is in a fake velvet box which is much nicer if a gift. 3 stars for it not living up to the potential of being a beautiful chess set but falling a bit short for 189.

It’s beautiful! I love it! It fits perfect on my center table! I made a good choice with this purchase!
