3.75" Scout Chess Pieces - Ebonized

Love just about everything about my set. It came well packaged, looks great, nice weight to the pieces. Glad I spent a little extra to get the wooden storage box. Looks great and is good quality. Appreciated the call from Chess House when there was a hiccup at the FedEx office, my fault completely. Thanks.

Nicely finished and nicely weighted. The bases on these pieces have a smaller diameter than many 3.75" sets and that allows using them on smaller sized boards for analysis. The knight has some nice angular cuts (see photo).

The knights and their size and unique extra markings is what drew me to this set. There are no there quite like them. I also love size of rooks and shape of bishops. Everything makes this a perfect “daily “ set to play with.

This is my favorite of the three sets that I have. While I like the other sets, there is just something about this set that puts it one notch above. The proportions are perfect. The quality of craftsmanship is spot-on. The pieces hit the right balance of elegant but not dainty. If I could only have one set to play with every day, this one would get my vote!

Have not had feedback. Experience with company was good. Would have liked an email telling me the set had shipped.

I'm in awe of the beauty of this set! I've never owned a chess set before, always played online. It is well weighted, grips amazingly to my silicone mat, and to me it is the peak of elegance. I couldn't be happier to give my money to this set. I highly recommend this set!

Really great value for classic design

I'm very, very happy with these pieces. I looked high and low for an inexpensive wood tournament-sized set with good styling and proper proportions, and these pieces really fit the bill. They're nicely weighted and have a classic design. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wood tournament set or a first, inexpensive full-size wood set for home. As other reviewers have said, the bases of the pieces are a little smaller than indicated, which for me gives just the right spaciness for a board with 2 1/4" squares (I like a little air between my pieces).

I have the boxwood and dark rosewood version of this set.

Beautifully crafted pieces, couldn't be happier!

I highly recommend this boxwood chess set as the pieces are high quality, have a good weight, and are neither too elaborate nor exceedingly minimalist in terms of design. For the price, this collection is hard to beat.

Good pieces. Good service

The picture doesn't due this set justice. These pieces have a FAR better finish than most of the stuff in this price range. Not sure what they use, but they end up looking more like ebony, than ebonized. Nice looking set.

The knight is better in person than in the picture. I usually like "German" types of knights. This one executes the mane differently than the rest. It's a taller knight than most German sets use. And it results in a set where the proportions of the pieces are spot on.

The queens points are not excessively filed down like in some lower priced sets. The are twelve of them on the crown, and they come to a point. The queens are shipped with the crowns wrapped up.

I also liked the rook a lot. It's bigger than the picture suggests. I hate it when rooks are covered up by pawns, and that DOESN'T happen with this set.

One thing to note, the King base is 1 1/2", not 1 3/4' as the specs say. I thought the pictures showed that, and it's true. This set is perfect for a 2" square board.

Very happy with the set. Highly recommend it.
