Review: Beautiful quality! - After extensive research and a strict criteria (high quality and large) I found this chessboard. The quality is stunning, beautiful in fact and at 21 inches it’s large. Looking at different chessboards elsewhere, this one represents excellent value for money, the pieces are weighted and the finish is exceptional. If you’re looking for a large chessboard, that’s practical and of a high quality then this is the one.
Review: Gorgeous quality set for the money. Impressive size and playability - Fantastic quality, large pieces and gorgeous smelling too (if you like polished wood like me). The pieces place and glide well and it all looks fantastic as well as being an impressive sized board. Great if you suffer from fat fingers like me and are constantly knocking fiddly bits over, no such trouble here. For forty quid no complaints....lovely item.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have storage?**
A: Yes they have storage intersection inside.every chessmen has separete spaceThank you Walter

**Q: I need a replacement piece (pawn) can I purchase one please?**
A: We also need a replacement piece (white rook/castle. Have you found any information as to securing a new piece? Thanks for your help!

**Q: Many complaints about the weight of the pieces. Can holes be drilled to insert screws for weight?**
A: I'm debating on this item, but I do have a thought on the weight...What if you were to carefully take off the felt and add a matching size magnet w/glue and then replace the felt?  Just a thought. Not sure if the size matters, lol, but maybe that would be easier to add weight vs. drilling any holes and risking cracking the wood...Great reviews so far, thanks people!!

**Q: are these piceces wighted ??**
A: They are solid wood, and do have some decent heft to them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend it more to someone who wants a quality large ...
*by B***9 on 11 August 2017*

This is a really well made and attractive chess set. It's board is well put together and decorated. The chess pieces are large and artistically designed, especially the King and Queen. Overall this is an excellently produced set and it's a bit of a bargain at £40. I can't recommend it more to someone who wants a quality large wooden set.
