I was looking for a chess set that looks good enough to leave out all the time. This one is beautifully made, and is so much fun to play because of the wobbly pieces. Everyone who sees it comments on it.

Genial
Le.design de ce jeu d’checs est au top, rigolo a jouer avec des pices en culbuto qui s’agitent toutes seuls et bel objet dco a exposer simplement si on le souhaite.
C’est un superbe obje
Magnifique échiquier !
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 !
Love this chess set but one of the pieces fell apart right after it was opened. Could be better quality for the price.

Originale e bellissima
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.
oppo bella
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
Tolles Design und Gute Verarbeitung
Tolles Schach, super zum auf dem Tisch bereit gestellt haben, wirkt sehr hochwertig und dezent, gefllt mir gu
I’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.
Beautifully crafted chess se
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.
Génial ! Tout l'monde veut le même !
Trs bel chiquier et trs original….
Tout le monde me demande o je l’ai dnich !
Attention tout de mme vrifier le prix… on voit beaucoup de choses bizarres sur cet objet !
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.

This 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.
Sehr 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.
Well made produc
Fantastic twist on a classic board. Well made, pieces don’t move if knocked, they just wobble. Very relaxing to play!
Scacchiera originalissima
Fra le scacchiere pi originali in circolazione. Buon legno non eccellentissimo per se comparato al costo

Stunning chess se
We were looking for a new chess set something that would be more of a feature for our living room and came across this set on another site, it was 100 more than Amazon’s seller so we got it here. Really lovely looking set, the weight of the peices is great and the movement as you play the game engages children and adults alike as it feels more alive. When it is sat on the sidetable it looks lovely and often gets positive remarks. Love it.
This chess set is not only functional but is also absolutely beautiful. We have it on our coffee table so it's a great decoration but then also great for playing a game.

Aesthetically & practically stunning!
Such a good looking chess set, very modern but with that lovely feel you get from hand crafter wooden pieces. Easy to play with and it’s almost impossible to mess up where you’re putting them etc overall a very good set and I won many a brownie point by getting this for my fianc.
Good se
Picked this up as a gift, a nice modern set with a bit of a quirk
Absolutely awesome and the must have chess set for people with dogs
I bought this chess set for its uniqueness and quirkiness and the quality and weight of the item is outstanding. What I didn’t bargain for was just how the uniqueness was going to benefit our particular home. We have 5 dogs and they are all very needy and forever want to be close to you which doesn’t bode well when you are in a game of chess at a crucial point and they brush past the table and knock all the pieces flyingnot so with this chess set. Dogs can brush as much as they want..the chess pieces just rock ferociously but never ever fall off or move position!. It is simply fabulous and a must for pet owners who like to get into serious challenge matches whilst managing the affections of their fur babies.
Stunning!
This is a fantastic quality chess set! Kids and adults love this board it is a real statement piece. Pieces and board are beautifully made.
Just wish they did a wobbly droughts set to go on the board too!
Despite some small flaws this was a great chess set, mo son really loves it. The only thing that was a definite egative was the fact that it was not shipped in a new separate boxthe shipping labels were stuck directly onto the original box rendering the box unusable

Solid too
Contrast of board is good. Pieces have good quality and weight.
Wobble allows for casual play in a house where table etc may get bumped as active family life happens.
