The "board" is a roll-up vinyl mat with 2 1/4 inch squares, exactly as required for tournaments. It has rank and file markings along the outside edges, which is great for folks learning to play. The board smelled a little "plasticy" when it first arrived, but I left it out and unrolled for a couple of days, and the smell went away. I got the green-and-white board, which is pretty common in club and tournament games. The only downside with ordering through Amazon instead of directly from the House of Staunton's website is that the board and the bag have to be the same color. I like green, so I'm OK with that, but I wouldn't have wanted to take red-and-white board in order to get a red bag.
The chessmen are the traditional Staunton design most chess players have seen and used. These are "triple weighted", and that's just the right amount of heft. They don't fall over by accident, like hollow or open-bottom men, but they also don't go "bam" when you place them. They're tournament size - the king is 3 3/4 inches high, and the rest of the set is scaled to match. They feel nice and solid, and they've got a felt cover over the base. Other reviewers have said that there can be small quality issues with them, and that happened to me. The weights in one knight were loose, rattling around and annoying me. I used Amazon to send a message to the seller, explaining this, and they responded the next day that they'd ship me a replacement. It arrived about a week later, and it's just fine.
The "quiver bag" is really basic - you gently roll the board into a tube, slide it into the bag, and then you can put the chessmen inside the tube. I saved the ziploc bags that the men where shipped in, and use those to keep them from rattling around. I don't know if having the men loose would damage them, but why find out the hard way? The seller says the bag will also hold a chess clock, and there's certainly enough room, but I don't want a clock, so I can't say for sure.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the set, with the price, and with the help I got replacing a knight.
My one quibble - and the difference between four and five stars - is that I wish it had a nicer case to carry it in. It would be nice if there were separate pouches to store the pieces. It can be a bit of a puzzle at first trying to figure out how to get it all back in the bag. If I can save you some time - get some ziplock bags to keep the pieces in and when you’re packing up - roll them up inside the board and then slide it into the bag.
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024
The weight of the pieces really adds to the game, can't explain why. Lol.
The extra queens were a great addition. My kids and I play a variation where I replace my king with the second queen and it always gets pretty interesting.
The mat is very high quality. One thing to note is that you will want to roll it up upside down with the top out. That way it lays down flat when it lays down flat. Otherwise it will try to roll upwards and close while playing.
The quiver is absolutely basic, but still fully operational.
I came back to Amazon after a month and bought another set, for my Dad.
