Product description This is a genuine Regency Chess Company branded product. Crafted from solid sheesham and boxwood this stunning chess set feels solid, sturdy and will provide years if not decades of chess playing. The board is carefully crafted from individual squares of wood. Each is 2mm thick and has been inlaid perfectly to create a stunning chess board. Housed inside the cabinet are the solid wooden pieces, carved from Sheesham and boxwood. Fashioned in the Staunton style they have a fantastic attention to detail and a nice hard edged feel to them. A beautiful set that has been finished to a very high standard. One of small number of these stets we have managed to acquire. Presented in basic boxed packaging. The new and updated version of this set features deluxe flocking and a magnetic closing system that dispenses with the need for clasps that will wear out in time. Safety Warning Not suitable for children due to small parts which may cause a choking hazard. This item is not a toy.

A potentially good product spoiled by minor faults, a disappointment.
Disappointed that this product did not meet expectations. Three issues are why I am disappointed but I should explain that this product was bought because of an urgent hospital visit and I needed a set that allowed for this visit and had some quality to it.Having read the reviews I chose this product.First disappointment is that the set has old fashioned clasps not a magnetic closing latch as advertised. I can live with that but someone should be checking the product details for errors like this.Secondly, when checking the pieces it is very noticeable that a couple of the dark wood pieces don't match the same colour of the other rather nice dark wood pieces. Quality is missing here but is that an issue for the retailer or the manufacturer?Finally at least one piece has issues with the felt base which has raised from the piece and when in use may well come off. Again a minor issue but still a disappointment.Overall I feel let down but due to the time scale I have this product will have to do. Otherwise apart from the issues above the quality is good.

Simply the best!
This is great traveling set! I was really, really surprised with the quality after unpacking it. Packaging from the Regency is superb. Ascetic but elegant at the same way. I will definitely by something else from them as well. Package was very well protected and everything came in good shape. Sponge inside chess board (where the pieces are put into travel) is also good quality one.Details of the figures are superb as well. Finishing is great. Highly recommended!

Beautiful set cant fault it ! Superb value for money.
Bought for 18 yr old son as a prezzie for starting uni and leaving home. He absolutely loves it. Much better quality than I expected for £20 - looks more like £50 worth. Magnetic pieces are strong you can place board to the vertical and they wont fall off. Set includes 2 x black and 2 x white queens. Beautiful set and a good size.

Gorgeous set! Looks so expensive and classy! Would have been handy if it came in a case of its own too but still packaging is good enough to be used as a case too I guess. Great stuff guys keep it up, affordable price too.

Great value.
Very neat and compact. Liked the felt lined holes for the pieces. Nicely carved Chess pieces and quality wooden board. Couple of minor problems very quickly resolved by the seller. Highly recommended.

Extremely well made
Present for my grandson and he loved the fact that it was hand made while we loved the magnetic facility. Good for travelling without all the pieces travelling as well.
