Staunton No. 6 Tournament Chess Pieces in Wooden Box for 2 players, 3.9-Inch King

I am a hard sell on quality with board game items. I was very surprised when I received this set as to the overall quality of both the pieces and the box. The pieces are nicely crafted, perfect size and weight, and clean finish without marks or rubbish. These qualify as a solid intermediate quality player set--suitable for casual or competition play. One can spend more money, but this means simply buying more style or luxury quality.For a modern Staunton set, one cannot go wrong here. I am guessing (as the country of origin is not listed on the box) that these are made in Germany or Eastern Europe. Great value, nice aesthetics, weight and size perfect. Get them and play!

High quality. Good set. Great selection

This is actually a nice wooden set. I recommend it. I wish it was a little heavier though.

PROS:1. Carving and finish is consistent and decent2. Felt on bottom is nice green and works as expected3. Pieces are slightly weighted, just right, not too heavy4. Box is finished nicely, though no carvings or adornmentsCONS:1. Hinge and latch on box are a little cheap, won't stand up to children, but is fine for careful adults2. Box is just barely big enough for the pieces, so it will take a little careful attention each time to get the pieces in so that the top will close.Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. For the money, these are large, look like they are supposed to, and glide easily on the board. No complaints.

I purchased these pieces in 2015. Since then, they have held up great. They look nice, and the pieces smelled of a wood stain when I received them. They are not triple-weighted - only single weighted, so if that's what you're looking for, another set may be of interest to you. I still appreciate them, as they were a low-cost alternative to the many plastic piece sets on the market.

Wooden, large size chessboard pieces. The fact that they come in a box keeps them safe. Traveling with a large box, not so easy, however these are nice pieces. I bought them as a back-up. My kids live to play chess and take with them while camping. Late night sitting around that campfire or to the beach while camping. Nice pieces. Our chessboard is on the larger side and these work well. The base of each piece is felted. Each has decent weight. Made in Poland. Used my nail scrubber to show size of pieces to give you a better idea re size.

When playing blitz with tight time controls you want a chess set that is durable and easy to move.They have just the right weight and feel. Just what I was looking for. I wish they came with the extra queens.I am thinking I might order a second set at this price just to have the extra queens.

I purchased this for my husband who is an avid chess player. He loves these hand carved pieces. Very well made.
