A decent chess set
This set is OK. The board, is 14 3/4 inches square. It looks nice when it is open, but doesn't close completely even when latched (there is about a 1/8 inch gap on one side.) This may just be a problem with the one I got, but it bugs me a little. What bugs me alot is that the elastic that holds the pieces in place on the inside broke after about the 4th time it was used. Now 3 of the pieces are always loose inside when the set is closed.

The chessmen are wood. They are not very detailed, but they aren't bad. The king is 3 inches tall and about 1 inch in diameter at the base. Honestly, the pieces look a little small on the board to me, but you can always get bigger pieces.

If you're looking for a decent chess set that folds up and keeps everything in one place (even if the pieces rattle around inside), I'd say this was a pretty good set.

Fine Chess Set
I bought it for personal use - really nice and compact. Beautiful chess pieces. Not weighted - but that's OK - since I do fold it up and keep it aside when not in use.

hand-carved pieces are not wood
The chess board is really nice and big, but a bit misleading in that the pieces seem to be plastic.

Just the perfect gift for one of my son's
One of my boys wanted a chess set where you could store the peices in the set, like the one we have. He was very happy with the Chess Board and said it is fantastic.
