I got this chess set as a gift for someone and they seemed to really like it! For the price, I wasn’t expecting anything super fancy, but it’s a solid set. The pieces are lightweight but still sturdy enough, and the board folds up nicely for storage, which is a plus.They've been using it regularly, so that’s a good sign. If you’re looking for an affordable chess set that’s perfect for casual games, this one gets the job done.

This wooden chess set is more than just a game; it's a work of art. The rich wood grain and hand-carved pieces give it a classic, elegant feel. The board itself is sturdy and well-made, with a smooth finish that's perfect for moving the pieces. But what really sets this set apart is its clever design – it folds up to securely store all the pieces inside! This makes it incredibly convenient for travel, protecting the pieces and keeping them organized. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this chess set is a beautiful and practical choice. It's sure to provide years of enjoyment and become a cherished possession.

This chess set is amazing. It’s beautiful, light, and high quality. At first I thought the lack of magnetic pieces was going to be a problem but I was wrong. The pieces are very stable and don’t tip over easely. I got the Walnut wood version.

This review is for Premium Chess Set (Walnut), not the other ones:Pros:- very good quality of the board and pieces. Board wood is much nicer than the pine version- chess pieces are larger than other similar 15" sets. Pawn diameter is 13/16" (on the right)- chess pieces are very stable and don't tip over- knight design is very nice compared to pine versionCons:- by design the legs are only on one side of the board, so the board does not stay flat on the desk (see pictures). Requires some DIY solution to make it flat

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.

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)

The 15-inch wooden chess set board game is perfect for both adults and kids, and the strong wood material ensures that the set is durable and long-lasting.While I do think that the finishing on some of the pieces could be better, this is a minor issue, and it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the set. Plus, the extra queen pieces are a nice touch that adds to the set's versatility and gameplay.Overall, I would definitely recommend the Chess Sets by Chess Armory to anyone looking for a high-quality, reasonably priced chess set.
