There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I haven't seen the quality control problems others have noted. There weren't any scratches or mismatches between the tops and bottoms of the pieces. Everything looks and feels very high quality. Maybe the manufacturer has fixed some of those problems, or maybe I just got lucky with my set.
As for playing, it's obviously not the most usable set. You can't easily slide pawns forward, like chess players usually like to do. And the wobbling of the pieces can be distracting during play (though it doesn't last very long). However, the pieces are nice and heavy with a satisfying "thunk" when you put them on the board. And the pieces have a lot of tactile interest to them because they have a lot of curves, so fidgeters like me will enjoy playing with them.

The queen base came unglued and I had to glue it
Similar to one of the the other reviewers here, same piece, same color, they might have some problem with the white queen bases during manufacture.
The colors are also quite similar to each other and it would have been good to have a darker wood for black, like ebony.
But on the whole, this is an excellent curio, a well made set and gives us a lot of pleasure while we use it and also when the set is lying on the coffee table unused
