5.0 out of 5 stars King Arthur Chess Set, December 1, 2006

This review is from: King Arthur Chess Set (Toy)

I have displayed my chess set in my great room so everyone can see it! And, there it shall remain. It's so beautiful. The pieces are intricately made and hand painted; the bishops even have rosy cheeks and are holding an open Bible! The board is beautiful, as well. It will become one of those "mystical" things at Grandma's house and, since I have taught my grandchildren how to play chess, they will love playing in "King Arthur's Kingdom." I will cherish this chess set for a long time and I know it will become a family heirloom. It was very reasonably priced and worth every penny.

It's going to take quite a bit of money to convince me that this is that much better than a quality board you can get at Toys R Us for $15. No thank you.
