Staunton No. 6 Tournament Chess Pieces in Wooden Box, 3.9-Inch King

I am a hard sell on quality with board game items. I was very surprised when I received this set as to the overall quality of both the pieces and the box. The pieces are nicely crafted, perfect size and weight, and clean finish without marks or rubbish. These qualify as a solid intermediate quality player set--suitable for casual or competition play. One can spend more money, but this means simply buying more style or luxury quality. For a modern Staunton set, one cannot go wrong here. I am guessing (as the country of origin is not listed on the box) that these are made in Germany or Eastern Europe. Great value, nice aesthetics, weight and size perfect. Get them and play!

Wooden, large size chessboard pieces. The fact that they come in a box keeps them safe. Traveling with a large box, not so easy, however these are nice pieces. I bought them as a back-up. My kids live to play chess and take with them while camping. Late night sitting around that campfire or to the beach while camping. Nice pieces. Our chessboard is on the larger side and these work well. The base of each piece is felted. Each has decent weight. Made in Poland. Used my nail scrubber to show size of pieces to give you a better idea re size.

Very nice with a reasonable price

PROS: 1. Carving and finish is consistent and decent 2. Felt on bottom is nice green and works as expected 3. Pieces are slightly weighted, just right, not too heavy 4. Box is finished nicely, though no carvings or adornments CONS: 1. Hinge and latch on box are a little cheap, won't stand up to children, but is fine for careful adults 2. Box is just barely big enough for the pieces, so it will take a little careful attention each time to get the pieces in so that the top will close. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. For the money, these are large, look like they are supposed to, and glide easily on the board. No complaints.

When playing blitz with tight time controls you want a chess set that is durable and easy to move. They have just the right weight and feel. Just what I was looking for. I wish they came with the extra queens. I am thinking I might order a second set at this price just to have the extra queens.

We had a beautiful marble and glass chess set that didn't survive a move to a new apartment. Since my husband is an avid chess player we had to replace it. First he built a beautiful wood chess table and painted the board on the top of the table. Next we needed a wood chess set. Didn't want to spend a ton on it so we chose this one. It looks really nice and compliments the table he made so well. It's just a simple set but the pieces are nice and tall and they look really nice. Not much else to say about them, they are just chess pieces :) but they look really nice for the price. The box they come with is nice as well. Well made and good color.

This set would make the perfect gift for a loved one or even yourself. The box is handy and the pieces have that Goldilocks factor. Not too big. Not too small. Some of the felt on the bottoms are off center or slightly too thick, but that’s easily remedied. Buy it.

These arrived today in good condition. I was a little concerned when it was delivered because the wood box was sliding around inside the shipping carton and I could actually hear the pieces rattling around. Turned out that the air inflated plastic cushioning pouch used as packing material had completely deflated leaving no cushioning at all. But it was my lucky day because a close inspection showed no damage to box or pieces. The pieces and pawns are well done and nicely weighted. I tipped them 45 degrees and they all immediately recovered to the upright position, meaning less chance of getting accidentally knocked over during play. The felt bottoms were all perfectly placed. No complaints whatsoever. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Buen aspecto, muy bonitas. Bien acabado. Tamaño y tacto perfectos. Peso muy asecuado. La caja de guardarlas preciosa y bien compartimentalizada. Reación calidad precio muy acertado. Lo convierten en un gran producto.

Ordered Saturday evening, arrived Sunday afternoon. Great quality and price.

A pesar de estar en cuarentena, llego mucho mas rápido de lo esperado, su diseño muy bien y las piezas bastante agradables. Lo único fue que no pude rastrear mi paquete, porque venia de USA a MX, pero el producto bastante bien.

Impressive Polish handicraft. Wood grain shows on the chess pieces, especially the black pieces. There are extra queens. The pawns are good-looking and well-proportioned with large rounded heads that stick out prominently. The knights have nostrils and a wry smile on their mouths. The pieces are fat and well-nourished so they look good on a StonKraft or A&A boards with 2.25 squares. Of all the various chess pieces I have, I use this one almost exclusively.

Very happy with these! Full disclosure, they are not perfect. A little bit rough in places but I like them. Slightly weighted, which is nice, good felt base, nice colouring, nice woodwork. Yes, the cross on the king isn’t perfectly straight, yes the knights are a bit rough but if you wanted perfect knights I think you’d buy a different set. All in all, these are lovely pieces to play with. The bishop is a good, classic shape, the rook has proper crenellations so it can be inverted if needed, and there are some extra little details which are just quite nice. Also, the pieces fit easily in the box without having to be a Tetris expect! I think ultimately what you choose is down to personal preference, but what you see is what you get with these and they are genuinely lovely to play with!
