Woodgrain Finish Large Gloss Chessmen

The pieces exceded my expectations in every way! Weight, size, finish, the leather pads!
The black pieces are specially beautiful!
Though I think the “wood grain” efect on the white pieces doesnt look as good.
Anyway Im very satisfied with my purchase and fast delivery and will be buying an extra pair of queens just in case in the near future!

Thanks again! Now I have a budget concious and beautiful Chess set for my home !

So, beautiful.
Excellent communication.
Ultra fast shipping.
Weighted enough to play in rolling ships in moderate weather. No one will get disappointed, so beautiful, shining finish, looks like wooden pieces.

This set is fantastic and probably the best plastic set on the market. The finish is beautiful and the design is far more intelligent than other sets I have purchased that have absurd issues like the Queen's crown having such sharp points that the set will be scratched up unless you go through special storage provisions. The size is massive for the advertised King height compared to other so called premium plastic sets I have - and the weight exceeds any other set I have used - which is superb. But the reason I bought the set is for use on my wood board - and the advertisement - and I quote: "realistic wood look". This set looks more plastic than any other set I have - and it is far too shiny for any tournament that hassles players over all the current rulings over chess pieces and boards. So bottom line - I bought a set that is pretty much worthless to me. I can't use it in tournaments - and the color scheme (because it in no way resembles any wood of any kind) is a horrible caramel color that is down right ugly. The whole point was the aesthetics of a wood look and I was willing to buy a set that was illegal - and this particular set was far more expensive than another imitation wood set that I regret not buying instead. My decision was based on size and weight - and as far as these features go - the set is absolutely fantastic. I would have been at least happy if (since it looks like really cheap shiny plastic with no hint of wood grain or wood tones) the white side pieces were just the usual cream color or even just plain white. Without any hint of wood grain - if this set had white pieces - it would look great! It looks like plastic imitation butterscotch hard candy. Absolutely the most misleading advertising I have ever encountered. There is no way even a person high on drugs would think this set looked like wood. Too bad. I won't be buying any more chess sets with this kind of claim. I just thought the picture was poor - and it looks better than what I got.

They are wonderful and very pretty. Without doubt i would recomend them. The shipping was perfect. Congratulations for chesshouse.

Very nice pieces. They go well with the board I made.
