“Replacement pieces - quality pieces”

I ordered a replacement chess pieces after some went missing over the past 30 years owning the set. The product came wrapped very well and quickly. The quality of the pieces were very impressive and I could tell some attention put into making the set. Think I m going to order checkers next!

“Way more stunning in person.”

As beautiful as this board appears online, it s even more breathtaking in person. I have very recently learned how to play chess and have been playing incessantly online, so I decided to treat myself to a real board, and when I stumbled upon this one I knew it was a no brainer. I placed it on my coffee table so it s not only a gorgeous center piece, it s a functional one as well. Thank you for this product!
