Exactly as advertised
Bought these to go with the 19 inch board (from the same seller) they fit perfect on the 2 inch squares. Upon reading the base dimensions I was worried they would be too narrow but they aren't.They look and feel really nice and are actually heavier than I expected from reading other peoples reviews.Negative points: They have some very very slight imperfections from the carving and now I see them on the board the pawns look a bit tall and skinny but that is my personal taste and they are exactly as advertised.THESE ARE A BARGAIN £30 FOR 32 HAND CARVED PIECES, DELIVERED IN UNDER 2 DAYS!!! WITH A NICE BOX TO BOOT! A great cheaper alternative to House of Staunton.

Feels good, looks good. Great set. For boards with 5cmx5cm or 4cmx4cm squares.
Feels good, looks good. Good detail in the pieces. Being handcraft you wouldn't expect pieces to be 100% perfect, which adds character. Though, in here pieces are pretty uniform. The character is all being provided by the beautiful wood grain.Pieces size was great for my handmade table (5cm/side tiles squares) and feel good in the hand.The pieces weight is great also, solid without being considerably heavy. Not you'd ever do it, a piece would need to be thrown down and land at a considerable angle 45degrees+ for it to fall.Brushing past pieces certainly won't knock them off.For the set, the price is good value.

Beautiful traditional chess pieces
This is a beautifully crafted traditional chess set that is perfect for a board over 30 cm square. The pieces are easy to identify and feel good to touch. A lovely box as well makes these pieces a perfect gift!

Slightly Unfinished
Generally fine. However the finish of a lot of the pieces is very rough. I solved much of this with a small piece of fine sandpaper. The top of the king pieces are glued on (and a slightly different colour?) rather than carved. Lots of visible glue, and not all of it could be scraped away. Overall - A nice enough set of pieces but be prepared to “finish” them off yourself.

Very pleased.
I bought these pieces for a nice chessboard I have which was missing one black bishop. There is nothing more annoying. The pieces are a little bigger than I thought but that's not a problem. Maybe something to bear in mind if like me you're buying these for another board. Nice box to store the pieces in, it is a tight fit though, you can't just chuck the pieces back in or the lid won't close. I wouldn't describe that as a fault though.

Great pieces, but extra queens??
Excellent pieces. Nice weight. My only gripe is that I can’t find extra queens from this manufacturer on Amazon.
