Customer Reviews

Great chess setI just wanted a chess set that wasn't extravagant (made from unicorn horns or the last of some endangered tree in Africa), wasn't too expensive (I can't fathom paying hundreds of dollars for a set), and wasn't some cheap, plastic nonsense, either. Score!This is a simple and elegant chess set. Everything seems properly-sized (not too big, not too small), and the set looks and feels nice. The internal piece storage is useful and there's an individual socket for every piece. The pieces have just a little bit of weight to them, which just feels nice when you're moving them around the board.The board itself has the grid letter/number markings on all sides, and has no strange gaps at the hinges, so the board is virtually seamless when folded out.Overall, great value for the price. 5Nice set for the money - I'm pleasedThis is a nice set for the money. Some reviewers said the claims of the pieces being weighted were false, but they seem to be off the mark. I found the pieces are definitely weighted. If they weren't, they'd be light as a feather, being that they're made of a medium to light density wood. These pieces are nice and stable. I'm pleased with the weighting, and the set including the board is, overall, attractive.The mold that holds all the pieces is indeed cheap and not 100% secure. With the case closed, a few can pop out of their slots. But in my case, all of the pieces at least do fit in their slots. I think a solution to this will be to pad the molding from the back on both sides to press the halves together a little more firmly. That will keep the same look but make a more secure fit. 4Decent quality for the priceI did a lot of research in looking for a good chess set for a sub-$40 price range, and came across this one.The board is fairly attractive, and does not have the flaws many other boards apparently have (e.g. skewed/offset lines). The material is light, but not cheap feeling (except the inner felt, which is garbage - but I don't care about that too much). The pieces have a good feel to them, but they have no heft or weight to speak of; that said, they aren't flimsy or under-weighted - they work ok.Overall, a good set for the price. 5Great set at an affordable priceReally great set! I did a lot of hunting around for chess sets in the $25-$50 range and ultimately decided on this one ($34) and am totally happy with what arrived. Here are a few things to note:- Despite the product's description, the chessmen are NOT weighted. (this is the only reason for the 4 Star rating, mis-advertised)- The inside storage does a great job of keeping the pieces roughly in place, they do get a little bit jostled during transport (mostly the pawns). The plastic liner is a bit cheap, which it was a foam or had the elastic straps that some other sets have.- King height is 3"- Set is lightweight and easy to transport.- Board is one solid piece, lines are wood burned in, squares are stained not inlaid wood, letters and numbers for files and ranks are also stained not woodburned. 4This is a KEEPER!So happy I got this set. It's nice and has a larger playing area that most others. The pieces are nice and the two wood finishes are beautiful. The biggest surprise was when my 12 year old daughter played 3 games in a row. Kept her interested for a long time!! Check mate for sure! Folds and the pieces are stowed inside the board/box, so there's only the board you have to keep track of. Hinges keep the box closed until you open for set up. Very nicely done and happy with this decision to purchase. 5Nice board, but received with a broken chess piece. Unable to have issue rectified.Dissatisfied with quality and manufacturer. Bought for our son for Christmas. Would have been fine except for a broken rook (see photo) and the (non) response of the maker. I didn't want to send the whole dang chess set back due to one piece, so I contacted the vendor (River Colony Trading) to ask for a replacement piece. They suggested contacting the manufacturer - but could not provide manufacturer contact info - and expressed confidence that the manufacturer would send a replacement piece. They also issued a small credit. It has been almost a month since I contacted the manufacturer and have had not heard back. I will keep trying. 2Larger than expected with a nauseating smellAfter looking at other sets and finding people expressing how what they ordered was smaller than expected, I went with this one, and found the opposite true: larger than expected--the board specifically; you'll need a large open space to set this on. The pieces themselves are decent enough, but the impressions for them on the bottom (inside) the board don't make for a perfect fit--and are not in obvious shapes. For example, the king and queen will only fit in one spot, but its hard to tell from looking which is which until you try to place them; even then it is not a "perfect" fit (have to sort of force them there).Another issue for me, and this was the one to really put me off the set, is the awful smell (from the finish?). It literally made me nauseous. Maybe mine was an exception, or it will fade with time. 3Good Set For 50 DollarsI was looking for a replacement for my 20+ year old wooden chess set which has a very worn board. My requirements were that it be wooden, with a 15+" board, and be reasonably good looking with "staunton-esque" (traditional) chess pieces.I did a fair amount of research and this is the set I decided on. For approximately 50 dollars, I believe this to be a decent, well crafted chess set. The pictures provided with the product description match what I received, with one exception (see below), so you can decide for yourself how aesthetically pleasing you find them. Personally, I like the look of the knight; it comes off looking slightly befuddled, which I find amusing.Bear in mind, this is a wooden set with carved pieces which do require time and effort to craft. In my opinion, you are not going to get a wooden chess set that will stun your friends and neighbors for fifty dollars. You get what you pay for, and your expectations need to be realistic. I also considered several sets in the 200 dollar range that were much nicer, tournament size, with extra queens. I decided on this set since I simply don't play enough to justify the cost.Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. I am deducting one star for a couple of reasons: (1) The grid markers are off center on my board. They are off by enough that it looks a bit strange. (2) (minor) The interior storage compartment is fairly cheap; the queen, in fact, doesn't quite fit the mold, but the case still closes fine.I aimed for a fair review; I believe some people expect an absolutely stunning, decorative wooden set for 50 dollars. I spent several hours researching my options. My conclusion is that this is a good set for the price. I am happy with my purchase. 4Better than mostThe jowisz decorative chess board is a very good value. I have looked at most chess boards from department stores at slightly lesser price, the quality really isn't there for a 35 dollar wood set. This chess set has a handcrafted feel, the pieces are weighted a little bit with metal which is something you don't get with a department store chess set. Something to keep in mind is that compared to the most expensive department store chess sets, the wood pieces are of much higher quality from whatever mix of wood they are made from (hornbeam and others?).It was slightly confusing purchasing this board because there are different manufacturers that seem to make the identical product. This is the sunrise handicrafts board marketed by Wegiel. There is also a polandchess.com site that seems to sell identical products stating, "It does not belong to handicrafts chess which are made of pine wood, birch wood and others." Despite the confusion, the Wegiel board at amazon appears to be of good quality. 5Perfect Chess Set for usI love chess and have been searching for a chess set for almost a year. Seeing how I play with my 11 year old son I did not want to spend too much but also did not want something cheap. I let my son open the package, which arrived on time and packed well with bubble wrap, he was very excited. The set is very nice, the contrasting wood colors, pieces, and letters & numbers on board all look amazing and sharp. All the pieces fit very well inside the folding chess set, nothing moving around or rattling inside and the two locks seem to hold together with a nice snap sound so you know it's secure when locked. Also, we like the rope burn marks that divide the spaces, very nice touch. I would order again from this company and definitely recommend to friends and family. I know how hard it can be to find a reliable company so once I find one I pretty much stick with them. 5
