By looking the image, I expected a stunning work of art. When I recived it, I was bit disappointed to see that the finish is not that great. The pieces are not weighted and hence, I do not concider is a good playing board and pieces. However, it looks great on the wall.

This chess board is a great buy for a wooden chess board with wooden pieces. The pieces are stored on leather straps, so they won't get lost. We have played many games of chess on this board and have not lost any pieces, despite the presence of two toddlers in the house. It is a much better storage method than a cardboard box. The pieces are of a good, practical size and weight.

This chess set is beautiful. Much more than I expected. Big and Beautiful. Rustic style. I have it hanging on my wall along with the checker and chinese checker games. It looks fantastic and my kids can easily pull it off the wall to play and put it back when done.
