Excellent board, the pieces are attached by elastic inside and are perfectly usable if you don't already have chess pieces, but they are not of the same quality as the board

I was trying to make up a compendium of traditional Parlor Games. JAQUES CHESS fits right in. The quality control for the Chess Board and Pieces works well. If there were any issues, I would have sent them back to be replaced. As with any natural material, there will be variations.

Have bought the item as a Christmas present. The item came the day after I ordered it and is exactly what I was looking for.

This last minute Christmas present arrived very quickly and was beautifully presented and packaged. Our 10 year old grandson was delighted and announced to the whole family that this was definitely a 'proper' chess set. Thank you.

Bought for my 6 year old who enjoys playing chess (so much so that his last set broke. I know, I know.) it folds nicely and the pieces are hooked inside with elastic. I find it a bit annoying to put each back, but he actually enjoys this part of the whole playing process. You could just put them in one side and close it but I’m not sure how well it would close. The pieces feel nice and they are the correct shapes etc for the proper game. I like this brand and have other games of theirs. Would recommend.

I am dressing a stunning loch side property to be a 5 star luxury let in Scottish highlands and stumbled on this Jaques of London Chess set. Having invested too much into this property already I have become very price driven and conscious in the final bits needed so studied several options over a cuppa. An ex product developer /importer I have a keen eye for quality and price. This set jumped out as it looked leagues ahead of others in finish , small detail and presentation yet was priced to compete with others being offered. Genuinely I thought too goo to be true must be well dressed photography......but I took the punt and bought it and a Tumble Tower wooden brick set.Arrived today and I am genuinely gob smacked just how good this set is in every way. The quality is stunning, the finish immaculate. I know all too well just how difficult it is to achieve and maintain highest of standards in consumer products but this company clearly have their parameters set super tight. Even in the small details of gold logo on board it is a perfect product. I only paid around £29 for this but it looks and feels like a £150 set. The packaging is a massive understatement in what we expect but actually subliminally sets a tone of refined quality gift. Printed bow with company name and then beautiful printed paper inside really set this off. Generally I do not write these reviews , just too busy and lets face it none of us stand outside Waitrose telling others how good our steak was last night so why do it on Amazon.....if a company provides good product at affordable price it will succeed ....simple. However left so impressed with this set and the Tumble Tower it would be an injustice not to compliment both products and commend the company for their most obvious efforts while remaining very competitive against all others. If you take time to read this I do hope you also "take the punt" as I did as confident you will feel equally delighted on recipt.Well done Jaques of London.

I bought this to give as a present in July of this year. For that reason, I haven’t opened it. I’m happy to give a review based solely on the photograph and description on Amazon and my satisfaction with previous purchases of Jaques Of London games.

It's a nice looking set, though let down by rough edges around the side of the board, and some sightly wonky pieces
