3.0 out of 5 stars Make a good wall decoration, January 1, 2008

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Design, January 16, 2009

By	N. Espy (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

Overall I am disappointed with the design of this chess set. The board and pieces feel disproportionate to each other - the board could be quite a bit smaller and has a lot of useless artwork that just increases it's size. The fence along the outer edge serves as a frame if you are planning on hanging it (I have infinitely better pieces of art to hang on my walls), but is rather inconvenient during play as pieces set along it's inside edge encroach upon the playing area so it unduly increases the size of the board. Also, the pieces seem swallowed up by the squares and, as another reviewer noted, are not weighted properly. I gave the item two stars because it does work for playing chess, however if I was in a retail store looking at game boards I would pick the $5.00 plastic "made in china" option over this.
