This is a nice chess set. It isn't terribly impresive, but it is was a heck of a deal for $25, and I've had a great time using it for weeks now. The one thing to be warry of is the glass board is VERY easily marked, but you can still just wipe it away and all is new and good again. Definately recommend this product for someone who wants a nice looking chess set to play around with, but doesn't mind wiping it every now and then. cudos

I purchased this set for my son's 14th birthday. It's a very attractive set. He likes the mirrored surface, says you can watch your opponent's face while not looking up from the board. The set was missing one pawn when we opened the box, but I went to www.sunnywood.net and emailed them, and we received a replacement by UPS within a week. Very pleased.

I was going to buy a different game but saw the low price that this attractive set was going for and figured I'd get it instead. It came via UPS and very quickly too. It was packaged great and all the pieces were there.


The pieces are very well defined and durable and also have a good weight. My hands are on the large side, so a bigger board with big pieces was more what I wanted.


The board is essentially a mirror and the edges are not rounded. I think that's the only real reason I'm giving the durability score a 3 out of 5. While this is beautiful as a showpiece or as a game that you'd play in your home provided you don't move it alot, this is not a travel game at all. As I intend to collect more than one board, it's not a problem for me. I would recommend this game for someone with a maturity level over the age of ten.


Overall, this set is beautiful and a joy to have. I highly recommend it.
