Review: Beautiful quality! - After extensive research and a strict criteria (high quality and large) I found this chessboard. The quality is stunning, beautiful in fact and at 21 inches it’s large. Looking at different chessboards elsewhere, this one represents excellent value for money, the pieces are weighted and the finish is exceptional. If you’re looking for a large chessboard, that’s practical and of a high quality then this is the one.
Review: What a Delightful Chess Set! - Wow! Just wow! That's what I thought when I set this board and pieces up. It looks (and smells wonderful). Here are some details about the set dimensions and weights: Pieces (weight/height) Pawn 13g 50mm Rook 30g 62mm Knight 31g 70mm Bishop 20g 71mm Queen 37g 88mm King 34g 105mm The circumference of the pieces range from 30mm (Pawn) to 37mm (Queen) Each piece has a green felt base. The pieces are not weighted as such, but their own weight is plenty, if that makes sense. Board weight 1363g 520mm (width) 515mm (height) 30mm deep (60 when closed) Each square is 55mm squared. The whole board folds into half and is fastened by two metal clips. Inside the board the pieces are snugly secured in a plastic, felt lined tray. The trays are removable so that you can replace the pieces into their relevant slots as they are taken buy you or your opponent. Claims on the packaging box itself says "made without child labour", and one that made me laugh to myself: "For people over 14 years." I guess that means a 13-year-old boy, for example, can't play chess on this board >.< This board is a real joy to play and at £45 (at time of writing this review) it really is a treat that you don’t want to pass up. It looks like a high end set at a vary reasonable price. I am extremely happy with this product. Also happy, as usual, with desertcart Logistics delivery service; you can now track your driver live so you know exactly where they are on a map, and so can plan your day around their estimated delivery time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have storage?**
A: Yes they have storage intersection inside.every chessmen has separete spaceThank you Walter

**Q: I need a replacement piece (pawn) can I purchase one please?**
A: We also need a replacement piece (white rook/castle. Have you found any information as to securing a new piece? Thanks for your help!

**Q: Many complaints about the weight of the pieces. Can holes be drilled to insert screws for weight?**
A: I'm debating on this item, but I do have a thought on the weight...What if you were to carefully take off the felt and add a matching size magnet w/glue and then replace the felt?  Just a thought. Not sure if the size matters, lol, but maybe that would be easier to add weight vs. drilling any holes and risking cracking the wood...Great reviews so far, thanks people!!

**Q: are these piceces wighted ??**
A: They are solid wood, and do have some decent heft to them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous quality set for the money. Impressive size and playability
*by S***W on 6 January 2018*

Fantastic quality, large pieces and gorgeous smelling too (if you like polished wood like me). The pieces place and glide well and it all looks fantastic as well as being an impressive sized board. Great if you suffer from fat fingers like me and are constantly knocking fiddly bits over, no such trouble here. For forty quid no complaints....lovely item.
