This is a cool chess set for a cheap price. The board is made of pretty strong cardboard and the pieces are made as one whole piece. What i mean is they are not made of two pieces of wood glued together. Which means they are unlikely to break like pieces made of one or two pieces (i'm boring myself) anyway, for ten pound this is a fair set.The pieces are nicely made with felt on the bottom. They are however quite light, so if you want to play outside this might be a problem.If you don't want to commit to a more expensive set, or you just want a cheap set to use occasionally, then i would highly reccomend this. If you want a display set to leave on a table etc, then this isn't for you.Arrived in good time.

not a bad little chess set for the money paid. One annoyance would be the felt bottoms on the pieces, they are about 20% smaller than the base of the piece and thus do not fully support the piece and can often fall over if not placed correctly. I think I will strip the felt bases off an use just as wooden pieces.The board is good and lays flat, the pieces are wooden and are of a pretty high quality (though light).I hope this helps some of you, if so, please rate this review,ThanksPaul

Bought this as a starter set for my grandson. For 9.99 I did not expect such a high quality item. Rhobust folding board and decent wooden peices. All packs away back into the box. I can highly recommend this item for anyone who just wants to play chess or draughts without spending a fortune. Very fast delivery also.

Bought this to teach my boys how to play chess and for that it is perfect. The bpard could be thicker as it is warped slightly but will probably be OK in time. Chess pieces are good quality with felt bottoms. FOr the money its just the job and the boys are enjoying learning chess and draughts. Many thanks.

This is a very reasonable priced, mid-range set. Would make a nice gift, for novices of any age. Also good to have in the games cupboard of any house. Nice pieces and good medium sized board.....also nice solid cardboard box. I'm happy with it, so is my 10 year old nephew who I brought it for.

This was on my son's Christmas wish list as he has learnt to play at school. Very pleased with the item - sturdy but portable too. Best thing is the option to play draughts as at present my son is the only chess player in the house. Game instructions included and welcomed!

I'm a cub scout leader and needed draughts and chess games for my cubs to practice for the annual area competition.The set has to be strong to survive all those sticky little fingers and so far it's looking good. Excellent value for money, much better than I expected.

Great little set and highly recommended. It is well made, has a good sized sturdy board with durable easy to handle playing pieces. It has taken many many hours of play and still looks like new. Worth every penny of what we paid for it.

It looks very good for a cheaper set. Only thing is, the pieces are rather light, but I expected that from a cheaper set. Just don't leave it set up around a cat, because it will be all over the floor in two seconds flat.

My 10 year old grandson has never played draughts and is quickly picking up at school how to play chess and doing very well, so this set is perfect for him and he was really pleased with it. good value and good quality.

I bought this set so that my son could teach his son to play chess. It's a good value for money set. The pieces are well made. It's an ideal set for a child who is learning to play the game.

Having not played for many years it was gret to have this value product to start up again. Good quality pieces at an even better price. Good board, good box, great all round item.
