Board box hinges not perfectly aligned which made the playing surface a bit uneven at join. I was able to re-align myself but others may not. The castle/rooks and bishops did not have normal distinctive slots on turret and face of bishop. I was able to cut and finish my own to ressemble normal appearance. After my modifications the pieces and board would have teh same or similar finish what would be of standard quality. But it saying this , I did get a 50% discount on teh normal price so I accept they might be seconds but that was not stated in description but as I accepted teh discount, I know know teh reason why.

Good value for the price, however asking to rate it's durability on purchase is silly. It is not large as described and standard sets for club play are twice the size so it is clearly an exaggeration to describe it as large.

Good chess board

The pieces and board are very smooth and therefore less than stable. I have now given the board away and ordered a magnetic replacement.
