This extremely elegant chess set includes masterfully sculpted pewter pieces (2" - 3" tall). The wooden board (15" x 15" x 2") opens up and includes a foam storage area for pieces for easy travel. This set is a perfect mix of portability, affordability, and exquisiteness. Why spend your hard earned money on a cheap plastic set when you can have a quality set like this?
Da Vinci supplies poker, gaming, and other miscellaneous high quality merchandise. We were impressed with their selectiveness of their products and felt that their company was a good representation of what it means to be Tastefully Driven.
One of the nicer chess sets I've used for the price. The pewter figures are nicely made and have a lot of detail. The board is big enough for a comfortable game, but not too big to make it easy to pack up and take with you. The only downside I really experienced was that the pieces were a little difficult to get back into their places the first few times yout take them out.
This board is perfect if you travel and play a lot of chess, or as a compact-yet-stylish addition to your family game room.
