    Got this for my daughter who has been going to an after school chess class. Its a beautiful set though the knights are a bit simplistic. We had the 15" but the proper board set up (white on right) required the drawers to be on the sides. No big deal. But the pieces are a bit too big for the 15" board. On the 17' they look great, The board set up is also correct on the 17"
    Tip of the hat to Chesssets.com/ Hayneedle for an easy exchange. Superb customer service.
    ps Drawers work fine but on both boards the silicone drying bags broke open in transit, again just a slight inconvenience

    I had hoped to give this as a gift, but could not. This is a low quality, poorly made, product. The advertisement, in my personal opinion, misrepresents it as "beautiful wood craftsmanship", and the testimonials attest to its beauty and appropriateness for display. However, the board that I received was only moderately well constructed, and the pieces themselves were poorly made; e.g. the band saw cuts on the necks of the knights. [...]

    Comments about BEST Seller! Monarch Walnut Chess Set with Storage:

    This board was a disappointment. The biggest issues were that the board was installed 90 degrees off from the storage drawers, and the board was substantially marred (Read my "cons"....)

    On the other hand, when I complained to Hayneedle customer service, they were incredible. They credited my account and saved a relationship, as I have had good luck in the past with them. I will do biz with hayneedle eagerly in the future if I can...

            Comments about BEST Seller! Monarch Walnut Chess Set with Storage:

            I never know what to give to my adult son for Christmas. He has a good eye for quality and has always been VERY particular. Since he loves to play chess, I did a lot of internet research to find a nice looking set that both he would enjoy and I could afford. I settled on this one as a 17"er, holding my breath that it was as nice as it looked on screen. Success! My son and his wife were thrilled with it. It looks beautiful in their home and he's looking forward to many hours of enjoyment with his family. I couldn't be more pleased- thank you!

            Comments about BEST Seller! Monarch Walnut Chess Set with Storage:

            The pieces are crudely made, defective and not as pictured. Also too small for the 21" board. The knights look like Pokey,(Gumby's pal), definitely not as pictured. 21" Board is very large of average quality. One drawer closes too far in. This product can only be considered "nice" when compared to a $29.99 product at[...] I regret not buying a board and pieces separately and paying 50.00 more for a quality set.

            Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            Customer Q & A

            Q1: Do the size of the pieces vary with the board size? What are the dimensions of the squares on each of the boards?

            A: The chess pieces will remain the same no matter what size board you get, so the king piece on all boards is 3.5 inches tall. The square dimensions for the 21 inch board are 2.2 x 2.2 inches. The square dimensions for the 17 inch board is 1.65 x 1.65 inches. The square dimensions for the 15 inch board is 1.45 x 1.45 inches.
