A&A 15 inch Foldable Wooden Magnetic Chess Set w/ 3 inch King Height Staunton Chess Pieces - Pine Box w/Walnut & Maple Inlay

A perfect first set for home use and portable enough to bring it to the park with friends. Your second set should be the 3.75 inch tournament set but is too big and expensive to be taken out of safety of your home. The quality is top notch, pieces are smooth and well proportioned. The pieces weighs like a hardwood would and the magnets helps to hold it in place. Without the magnets, i think it would still be stable due to the base being wide enough for its height. The board is well finished like fine furniture and its shade is lighter which provides contrast with the pieces. I like that its waxed like finish is not too shiny to be distracting and its easier to the eyes. I highly recommend this set.

This chess set is amazing especially for the price, it’s hard to find a wooden chess set at this price point, the wood feels really nice & the pieces are really well made, I especially love the knight’s design in this set, it doesn’t have eyes so it doesn’t look all weird & creepy like a lot of other sets, it’s a minimalist design, the pieces being magnetic is a really nice touch too, the magnets are strong enough to stick on the board without falling over when the board is moving but not too strong where it hinders gameplay, the magnets also compensate for the pieces not being weighted. Mine came with a broken latch so I emailed them & they replied to me very quickly & sent me 2 replacement latches for free, so the customer service is really outstanding. Overall this is a really good chess set for beginners, casual players or people who like playing on the go & I am extremely happy with my purchase!

This is a great well made chess set. It is very nice looking and durable.

This is by far, the nicest travel chess set I've ever purchased. From the moment you first unbox this at, you notice the quality. The board is beautiful. The pieces actually look like they may have been handmade. The whole set is a work of art. There are little flaws here and there, but only two that I care to complain about. The feet on the board are tiny little pins for holding the set closed. I found they left marks in my table after my nephew and I had a game. He is young and tends to lean on the board, so this shouldn't be a problem with adults players. The second thing is, the clasp on the right side was broken on arrival. There is a tiny pin that holds it tightly closed. That is missing. These are very minor complaints. So much so that I ordered a second set, as I'm sure that it will arrive in no less than perfect condition. As somewhat of an afterthought, the magnets are great. They hold the pieces firmly in place. TL;DR. This is a terrific set, well worth the price. I bought two once I saw how nice the quality is.

Very nice and my grandson loved it! He liked the magnet feature , but that it was wood most of all. The knights looked a little better in your set, too.

Absolutely Loving this! The way really nicely crafted, board opened and closed well, all piece has velvet bottom that made it easily and softly move piece according the board. Board and piece are made of wood, but despite of that pieces are very soft and does not have wooden spikes so no need to worry. Board is also smooth and give slight shining effect, but more of mate. Inside it has plastic form where you can place chess and checkers piece as soon as you are done. Best part - it really looks luxurious set, perfect decor, and very nice game piece to have game night!

The chess set that I recently purchased is truly a work of art. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the attention to detail and the quality of the craftsmanship. First and foremost, the pieces are absolutely stunning. They are carved from high-quality wood and are exquisitely detailed. The knights are especially impressive, with their flowing manes and intricate features. Each piece has a nice weight to it, making them feel substantial and satisfying to move around the board. The board itself is also beautiful. It is made from a rich, dark wood that provides a striking contrast to the lighter pieces. The squares are perfectly sized, allowing for easy movement of the pieces without feeling cramped or crowded. The overall size of the board is also just right, not too large as to be cumbersome but not too small as to feel cramped. The chess set also came with a protective case, which is a nice touch. This makes it easy to transport the set to a friend's house or to a tournament without having to worry about damaging the pieces or the board. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this chess set. It is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and a joy to use. Whether you are an experienced chess player or just starting out, I highly recommend this set. It is well worth the investment and is sure to provide many hours of enjoyment for years to come.

I bought this for my 7 year old Grand Son that's learning to play Chess, very nice set, top quality, magnets are just enough and not making you feel like you have to yank on them, very nice nice set, you will be happy if you buy it.
