AMEROUS Magnetic Wooden Chess Set, 15 Inches Handmade Wooden Folding Travel Chess Board Game Sets with Chessmen Storage Slots for Kids and Adults, 2 Bonus Extra Queens, Gift Box Packed

This chess set is a basic set for casual players, the pieces are wood, carved well enough to tell what they are, and aren’t weighted at all. The pieces to have magnets in the base to keep them in place on the board. The set includes extra queen pieces. The board folds in half and doubles as a storage box with foam inserts that hold the pieces. The quality of the board is also decent enough, but definitely not what I would consider premium. It has a wood veneer adhered to a particle board substrate and the seam is exposed along the edges. The fit and finish are acceptable, but nothing premium. There are no letters or numbers on the board, so that may be a deal-breaker for serious students of the game. The maker included a velvet cloth pouch for the board, which is nice to protecting the set in storage. There is also a very basic rule book.Overall, I’m content with the set, but it’s not quite as nice as I expected for the price. It should do fine for playing with my kiddos around the house and last for many years as long as we don’t abuse it.

Ordered this a few months ago as a smaller option to the giant chess board our family usually plays with. We can take it on trips or just use it somewhere else in the house. The board is very nice and the magnetic pieces are fantastic. Love that it comes with two queens per color.The latch on ours was a bit wonky, and since we use this for travel sometimes, I contacted the seller, including a photo of the issue, and they very quickly and graciously sent us another one that closes perfectly.If you're looking for a nice, small, potentially travel-worth chess set, I can highly recommend!

I am so impressed with the quality of this set. The board is a bit larger than I thought it would be but the wood is shiny and unblemished. The pieces aren't really heavy, but good quality wood. The magnet isn't too strong, but strong enough to hold the piece down. The gold latches work well and the inside of the board has a clever holding system for the pieces that makes them secure, not rolling around getting scratched. It isn't the best chess board out there I'm sure, but it's certainly the best for $30. HIGHLY recommend.

We wanted a travel chess at for my daughter. She loves to play with her dad but wanted something compact that we could carry around with us. The case is beautiful, has a velvet spot for each chess piece. The magnetic board is super convenient and makes it a lot easier to keep all the pieces. If they have to stop in the middle of a game we don’t have to worry about the pieces moving around. It’s perfect for kids who might not be able to keep things together.

I use this all the time. Complete set with no missing parts were sent. Nice material used and magnets work well. Appearance is rustic and masculine and folds very nicely. A+

It was dropped inside of the carrying case and it broke immediately on impact. A great chessboard that lasted a while, although broke due to my own error.

This is amazing at this price! This is a GREAT board for the price, inside the board has places for all of the pieces so they aren't rolling around. For this price, there has been a lot of detail put into this set, way more than I expected. I honestly can't believe how nice this set is, AND, they even put a nice piece of literature saying if anything gets damaged for ANY reason in the next 24 months, they'll either sent a new board/piece or reimburse you for the entire purchase, wow! I don't see myself needing that "warranty", but either way, sure is a great insurance policy if need be. If you are contemplating purchasing, stop, this is a great Chess Set at a great price!

Love it! We really like that this chess set is magnetic so that our chess pieces do not move when proceeding with the game the next day! I really think it’s an absolutely excellent set and well crafted. Because someone mentioned the closing-opening tabs as making potential surface scratches, I bought a piece of thick platform in black at the Dollar Store, cut it to generous size and placed underneath the chess game to protect the ceramic countertop/wood. Now the entire chess set is easily transported, too. We think this chess set is truly a great find with excellent attributes.
