What We Like About These Chess Pieces

The Large Chessmen Set with Storage Box includes a complete set of gorgeous heirloom-quality chess pieces. If you're looking for substantial, traditional Staunton chess pieces and a handy place to keep them, look no further.
These weighted pieces are some of the tallest and most elegant we offer. Each piece features felt underneath it to protect your chess board and allow for smooth sliding movement.
Carved from tropical hardwood, this set offers rich wood tones with a quality finish. They are ideal for use on boards with squares 2 inches or larger.

Please Note: These chessmen are oversized. Make sure your board can accomodate pieces that have a 2-inch base.

    I purchased this chess set for my husband as a B-Day gift, I was looking for a LARGE Set. We had a very nice board that we got from my parents. (as a kid we had a hand painted ceramic set, but they all broke during relocations) When I got the set, I was so Excited...It fit the board perfectly! My only disappointment was that the Knight did not have more detail, and when them came in the mail, them seemed tacky like the finish was not all the way dry when it was wrapped ni the bubble wrap.

    I cannot adequately state how disappointed I am with these pieces. Not only are the dark pieces stained very unevenly, there are chipped areas that were just stained over, glue smeared haphazardly on the pieces, and bits of felt fuzz randomly glued to the sides. The top coat sealer isn't applied evenly, and the light pieces are discolored with glue stains or other unidentifiable stains underneath the sealant. Lastly, the pieces are supposedly weighted, but they actually weigh far less than a plastic set I have with a 3.75" king. I would much rather have a quality plastic set over this set any day and can't see where this set will ever see use.

                6" king chess set is large enough for a board with 3 inch squares. Well made, should hold up to abuse by our grandchildren.

                  Comments about CHH Oversized-Large Chess Pieces with Storage Box:

                  The good: great price, good weight, nice sized pieces, product was as described, i would rate rhe pieces an 8.5 out of 10 on quality. The staining is not perfect or i would have rated higher but to be fair they are a low priced set so all things considered they are great. The shipping was fast as well. .

                  The bad: nothing really bad to say other than the box is more like a shoe box ( only better quality) rather than a case.
