A WONDROUSLY BEAUTIFUL CHESS SET CREATION

The chess board has weight and is nicely crafted with beautiful etchings. The chess pieces are wonderfully made in size and quality. The pieces are lightweight but the weight is substantial enough for gameplay. The pictures are great but you will appreciate the artwork so much more in person! The set is a gift and I couldn’t be more proud to give this to my avid chess lover! The shipping was lightning fast and so securely packed! I really appreciate the diligence in the craftsmanship and the care they put into making sure it is delivered safely. So gorgeous! Thank you!

Best Gift (I’ve ever given)

I actually didn’t know what to get my boyfriend for his birthday so I started googling like any clueless gift giver would do. He loves chess so I searched for custom chess sets. While browsing this site, I saw the Zulu/Ndebele set and almost lost my mind because my boyfriend is half Zulu and half Ndebele! I cannot wait for him to open this gift because I know he’s going to love it. Thanks so much for helping me give what I think is the most personalized gift I have ever bought for anyone!!

Update: Perfectly packaged, best condition, and worth every penny!
