Very elegant set

The set is very elegant. It looks nice enough to display. The pieces are big and rounded, the king is exactly 3.75 inches like standard sets but all other pieces are bigger than those of the standard sets. See my pictures for comparisons of each piece.

The standard club pieces are on the left side, the inspiration set is on the right. The king is the same height as the standard one but it's base is wider and body is thicker.

Very nice chess set. Much heavier and LARGER than anticipated, but I like that.
The only thing I don't like is that they feel hollow, and although they don't feel too flimsy, I fear that one accidental drop and they'll shatter.

Solid set.

I like the weight, the look of the knights & the bishops are thicker than something like the Emisario set which makes them feel slightly better imo. Extra queen as well, you can’t go wrong with this set.

My All-Time Favorite Chess Set!

This set is just slightly larger than a standard tournament set but it's really outstanding because of that. The pieces are hefty enough and the design of each individual piece is really beautiful...perfectly chunky knights! And I just bought my 2nd set to fit a new, heavy flex pad board someone gave me!

Glad you love them as much as I do, Michael! -- Raphael

Nice Set -- Definitely Worth Purchasing.

This was my first purchase of chess pieces (I had made my own chess board, with 2" squares, and just needed the player pieces). I live in Toronto, Canada and the order process was smooth and efficient. I received the set on a timely basis. I am very pleased with the overall quality, feel and look of the set. To my eye, they are very nicely sized for 2" squares (I spent time researching the sizing of chess pieces for 2" squares, checking measurements versus my chess board, etc., before deciding on this set). A minor flaw - some of the pad bases on the pawns are mis-glued and slightly off-level, so the piece sits on a slight angle, but I still think the set is good value. The manufacturer just needs to pay a bit more attention to quality control on attaching and leveling the base pads. The price is quite reasonable for this set, but the shipping and duties costs to Canada will approximately triple the all-in price.

A few details missed

One of the pawns had a felt base that was punched through, leaving it shorter than the others. The black Queen's finial came loose from her crown, and I had to glue it back in. Other than that, great design and feel. Love the heavy weight. 5 stars otherwise.

Brilliant - just what I was after

Lovely pieces; triple weighting makes them a pleasure to use...on my wooden board, they slide smoothly. No regrets!

Great set, top notch service

Wanted to teach my kids how to play and I was looking for something that would last, but also be substantial enough for their “smaller” hands. Not a toy set, but something of quality. The pieces are sturdy, super solid and feel purpose built and you could easily throw them in a box or bag without fear of breakage. The pieces are a pleasure to play with and little hands can easily grip the pieces and move them about. I paired the set with a silicone foldable board (first time using) and it was instant fun and portable. It is a full size set and unfortunately does not come with a case or a bag which is kind of a bummer, but I knew that going in. The set was missing a pawn when I received it and I emailed CH in the evening and got a response the very next day! CH sent out the missing piece straight away. Super fast and friendly customer service! Highly recommend the set and the company!!
