5.0 out of 5 stars Superb at three times the price..., June 13, 2007

By	Baz (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews

This is a gorgeous set of pieces - I was blown away by the quality when I received mine. The design of the knight is especially beautiful. Don't be fooled by the word 'plastic'. These pieces are felted and weighted, and do not look at all like 'plastic', having a nice matt patina. Without touching one, the black pieces have the appearance of wood. Even the pawns feel quite heavy. They're also nicely finished and look and feel as if they'll last a lifetime.

I'm so impressed, I'm ordering another set in a different colour combination. The price is ridiculous. I've have paid three or four times what Amazon are asking for a set as elegant and as handsome as this.

If you appreciate fine chess sets, you can't afford not add this to your collection. As for me, this will be my main set from now on. Congrats to House of Staunton for having the inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars buy it, May 17, 2008

By	Brad Hendrickson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just purchased this set. It arrived yesterday. If you are looking for a very good set to use. This is it. The pieces are weighted nicely. The set looks and feels great. Can't beat the $20.00 price!!! delivery charges are a little steep, but they are on everything nowadays. you even get a free vinyl chess board. I highly recommend this set.
