Wegiel Handmade European Ambassador Chess Set - Wooden 21 Inch Beech & Birch Board With Felt Base - Carved Hornbeam & Sycamore Wood Chess Pieces - Compartment Inside The Board To Store Each Piece

Classic product, good quality

After extensive research and a strict criteria (high quality and large) I found this chessboard. The quality is stunning, beautiful in fact and at 21 inches it’s large. Looking at different chessboards elsewhere, this one represents excellent value for money, the pieces are weighted and the finish is exceptional. If you’re looking for a large chessboard, that’s practical and of a high quality then this is the one.

I bought this set nearly 6 years ago, so I could teach my 4 year old daughter how to play chess. Since then, she's not only learned how to play, but her little sister was born and is now learning chess to. I mention this not to brag (well, maybe a little, clever kids! haha) but to emphasize that despite this set now having been used by myself and a couple of rambunctious kids for years now, it's held up terrifically. The board and pieces are all well-made, the board can be easily folded up with the pieces inside to put it away, and the nice, big, wooden board and hand-carved pieces make a nice table-top decoration if you prefer to leave the board out on the table for long stretches of time (which we often do, because it's easier to convince the kids to play a few moves before arguing for screen time when the game is out in the open, ready for a match). The price has gone up a notable amount since my original purchase, but as long as the quality is still as good as the one I got, I'd say it's still worth it.

La scacchiera è fatta bene ed è molto bella qualità prezzo ottimo.

Bonne qualité générale, excepté le rangement intérieur en plastique léger et assez fragile qui n’est pas à la hauteur de la qualité du reste mais bon ce n’est pas le principal, en bref très bon pour le prix.

I purchased this chess set to replace an older plastic set and I couldn't be more happier with the quality and craftsmanship of it. It arrived very fast despite the global shipping situation at the moment. Each piece is individually hand made in Poland out of birch and beech trees. It is simply gorgeous to look at. The pieces are light but sturdy enough when played, the board just like the pieces is incredibly detailed and unique. There are some lovely and minor imperfections in the engraving that make it all the more rare and special. I highly recommend this to all chess enthusiasts, or to anyone who simply gets pleasure from looking at something beautiful!
