Review: Very good quality, perfect size and weight for a portable board - I hand-made a portable folding chessboard for my son for his 40th birthday and wanted a quality set of pieces to go with it. This set is very well made, perfect size (the squares on the board were 1.5"), no visible defects and the weight was perfect. Highly recommended. I may buy more sets for chess boards I'm planning to build and sell in the future. Review: Great Chess Set! - Upon receipt of the House of Chess 3" Rosewood Staunton Wooden Chess Set, I was very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the set. The set was shipped in a heavy-duty cardboard container. The pawns were each wrapped in miniature bubble wrap for protection, each of the other pieces was first wrapped in a sort of soft wrapping and then wrapped in the same type of miniature bubble wrap. This insured that the fine details of the larger pieces were adequately protected from damage during shipping. This was over and beyond what I have ever received with my other chess set orders over the past years. I was really impressed with the fine detail and quality of workmanship of each chess piece. The carving is nicely done and the finish of all the pieces is of high quality. The pieces are listed as being triple weighted and they certainly appear to be as stated, which adds a nice heft to each piece. Overall, I am very pleased with this set, and it will be prominently displayed along with my other chess sets collection. I would definitely recommend this chess set for the excellent workmanship and beautiful design. I would do business with this seller again. ## Features - Wood Combination - Hardwickia Rosewood / Boxwood | 2 extra Queens provided.
