- Best Plastic Chess set ever seen.
I've been playing chess for 40+ years and was bowled over by the quality of this set and the care taken in producing it. Looks and even feels better than many wooden sets I've owned. Best possible value. In this age of declining standards and cheap merchandising, this is a very pleasant and unexpected surprise! Kudos for quality.

- Very nice
Beautiful chess set. Heavy pieces. Nice design.
Delivery was quick and everything was packaged well.

- Superb at three times the price...
This is a gorgeous set of pieces - I was blown away by the quality when I received mine. The design of the knight is especially beautiful. Don't be fooled by the word 'plastic'. These pieces are felted and weighted, and do not look at all like 'plastic', having a nice matt patina. Without touching one, the black pieces have the appearance of wood. Even the pawns feel quite heavy. They're also nicely finished and look and feel as if they'll last a lifetime.

I'm so impressed, I'm ordering another set in a different colour combination. The price is ridiculous. I've have paid three or four times what Amazon are asking for a set as elegant and as handsome as this.

If you appreciate fine chess sets, you can't afford not add this to your collection. As for me, this will be my main set from now on. Congrats to House of Staunton for having the inspiration.
