Very Nice Set

The pieces have a nice feel, smooth finish and nicely weighted. Looks really good on my hand made board.

very beautiful. But it's not properly weighted, and the lower visceral viscera is really not good

Well made pieces

With so much of what we consume being disposable I wanted chess pieces that could last a lifetime. These pieces have a nice weight, are well made, and I know they will serve me well for decades to come.

Great classic pieces

Overall very happy with this set!

Some very minor detail needs adjustment (knight's left and right eyes needs to be aligned) but does not take away to the excellent workmanship on all the pieces.

Size and weight is perfect with adequate felt bottom.

I originally ordered the ebony set but switched to the Acacia pieces which I am very happy about. Looks so good with the Mahogany board.

Beautiful Chess Pieces

I liked the set, simple yet beautiful. I had questions that were answered quickly. I would have liked a box to store the pieces, rather than the bag. It helps keep the pieces together.
