    Le modle est moderne et original. Le bois naturel mix avec le mtal lui confrent un cot classe et design de belle qualit. Les pions culbuto ne gnent pas et mme au contraire, donnent un ct ludique au jeu.
    Sur mon modle les couleurs des pions sont bien distinctes. Ils sont bien quilibrs et se stabilisent rapidement sur le plateau.
    Je l’avais repr depuis un moment et j’ai saut sur l’occasion de pouvoir l’acheter sur Amazon presque moiti prix compar un achat en magasin.
    Un superbe cadeau d’anniversaire, mon mari a t ravi !

    Magnifique échiquier !

    Love this chess set but one of the pieces fell apart right after it was opened. Could be better quality for the price.

    Prodotto suggestivo e di grande impatto estetico. Ottimo feeling tattile, buon assemblaggio. Robusta e sicura la confezione. Non do 5 stelle a causa di qualche incertezza nelle fusioni metalliche. Sicuramente la ricomprerei.

    E’ una scacchiera troppo bella per non averla.
    All’inizio ti gira la testa mentre giochi ma una volta che ti abitui e’ troppo divertente e tropp bella.
    Complimenti a chi l’ha costruita

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’ve been after a decorative set for some time and this is perfect. I didn’t want the regular old everyday, beautiful but boring set. I wanted a functional conversation piece and this is it. It’s fun to play on and you can move the furniture and all the heavy wobbly pieces stay in their position. On the down side…one queen slants a bit unless I carefully set her in place. All the other pieces stand at attention. The board is nice, but you can expect some flaws in the grain. The grain isn’t matched, and not the most choice selection of hardwood, but for the money it’s acceptable. I’ll probably end up rubbing in some Danish oil to darken the wood and give the color some depth. I would certainly recommend this set to anyone that values a bit of whimsy, and/or has cats, or likes to move furniture around. It’s a cool set.

    I purchased this chess set for my son who loves playing chess. I wanted to buy him something of good quality that will hopefully stand the test of time. This ticks all the boxes. It’s exceeded my expectations and more. I purchased it in the sale and although to me still a lot of money it is worth every penny. I really like the wobble feature which will certainly add to the fun of the game. The board is beautifully crafted. and the individual chess pieces are weighted and of a contemporary style although still in the recognisable form. Each piece is finished with a metallic base which will help them to last over time. At first I thought I was crazy spending so much on a chess set for a child but now I’ve seen it I’ve got regrets at all. I can honestly say this is probably my most favourite item of anything I have ever purchased from Amazon.

    It’s gorgeous and sleek and looks amazing in the room. The wobbles are fun to play with. The board and chess pieces are all beautifully crafted.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis chess set turned out to be even more attractive in person than the pictures. The squares on the board have a nice grain to them (in different directions between light and dark squares), and the ridges do in fact catch ambient light in a striking way. I also think the pieces are close enough to standard shapes to be easy to recognize but different enough to be interesting.

    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.

    I wanted an interesting, beautiful, reasonably playable, reasonably priced chess set; I’m very happy that this one has checked all of those boxes.

    Beautiful

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSehr auffllig war, dass Amazon die Preise u.a. an eBay anpasst. Auf der Wunschliste wurde er mir urpltzlich fr einen sehr guten Preis angezeigt. Wieso? Weil bei eBay ein Ausstellungsstck zum selben Preis angeboten wurde. Gleiches konnte ich bei Saturn, Media Markt u.a. feststellen. Gerade wenn die Samstagskracher bei Saturn angepriesen werden, kloppt sie Amazon zum selben Preis raus. Marktfhrer zu bleiben ist eben sehr wichtig.

    In dem Fall Glck fr mich. Ich bekam zwar augenscheinlich auch keine Neuware, aber ein Anruf und der Artikel wurde nochmal um 20% ermigt. Eine Ecke der OVP war extrem eingedrckt, obwohl die Versandverpackung intakt war. Also muss es schon vorher so ausgesehen haben.

    Vllig egal, das Schachbrett und die Figuren sind das wichtigste und das ist alles heil geblieben.

    Die Figuren sind perfekt austariert, die Maserung ist sehr hbsch. Das Brett hat seine eigene handschriftliche Seriennummer. Alles in allem macht es einen edlen Eindruck, mit dem ich schon den ein oder anderen Gast beeindrucken konnte. Auch wurde es schon mehrfach bespielt. Es macht Spa darauf zu spielen und ist jeden Cent wert.

    Fantastic twist on a classic board. Well made, pieces don’t move if knocked, they just wobble. Very relaxing to play!
