Beautiful

If there was any imperfections I could not tell. I am a proud Canadian owner and repeat customer.

Too beautiful for Imperfect

This is the first time I bought from Royal Chess Mall and I was not disappointed, even with the "imperfect" version of this 1849 jacques, I can hardly spot the imperfection among the pieces. It's just perfect for me and you can't never go wrong with a Jacques set. Such a beauty!

Piękne szachy z szachwnicą

Realizacja zamówienia, zapakowanie, wygląd zamówienia pełen profesjonalizm. Dziękuję bardzo.

When Excellence meets beauty

These chess pieces are undoubtedly a high quality work of art.
It is obvious that they have been crafted with a lot of dedication, care and precision.
When you unpack the box you receive from them, you feel the even with the packaging every effort has been made to give these little marvels the care and protection they deserve. Very quick delivery by DHL.
The Alexandria chess pieces are truely beautiful but also majistic. Made of high quality material by professionals who perform with exceptional craftsmanship.
If you choose to buy this set, make sure to select a chessboard that is suitable not only to its size but to its style and elegance. 70mm to 75mm squares would be adequate, and choose square colors that give comfortable contrast and visibility. The ones sold for a reduced price because of some slight "imperfections" make me respect the makers even more for the value of their work and skills.
It's a challenge to find these imperfections. One or two pieces might have slight "imperfections", but generally speaking it is "Plus que parfait" as I would put it in french.
This is the third set of chess pieces I buy from Royal Chess Mall, and there are surely others to follow, waiting in my wishlist.

Un set elegante

Estás piezas de ajedrez, son de mis preferidas
Son una obra de arte, sobre todo los caballos...
Jugar con ellas es un placer

Infinitely Grateful

Infinitely Grateful
I feel compelled to review this chess kit and thank Royal Cess Mall, for their seriousness, speed in communications, and shipping. The kit arrived with superlative packaging! 10 stars! I have never seen anything like it, robustness and accuracy. I was truly amazed when I started unpacking it! I could not believe my eyes at how beautiful each piece is! It faithfully respects the colors, the figures, the types of wood and the meticulousness of the carvings! A 10-star work of art! Thank you, Thank you, infinitely Thank you! Would I recommend it? With my eyes closed!! It is worth every single cent!, in fact, much more!

Beautiful ♟️ ❤️

This set was heavily discounted due to “small imperfections” and a 30% off coupon at checkout.

If there any small imperfections, I have thus far been unable to find them. This set is heirloom quality and one day it will go to a beloved family member. 100% satisfied. Outstanding quality and very prompt shipping. Items were packaged extremely well and arrived without any damage.

Highly recommend

Amazing design and craft

The first thing you notice about these pieces when you unwrap them is their big size.
Yes, 4.6" King is VERY big, really. You need a chessboard with 60mm squares, or even a bit bigger.
Then the design, you immediately feel a professional level achievement. Beautiful design and very careful workmanship.
This is a "slightly imperfect" chess set (pieces only). If you examine each piece carefully, you might find what could be called imperfection, if you had a strong sense of observation and a very critical mind, otherwise, trust me, nobody will notice anything if you don't tell them.
The knights' heads are very slightly tilted to the left. If you must call this imperfection.
Also, when you look at the king from the top, you may notice a very slight out of center inclination.
The only thing I didn't quite like about the design is the top of the Rook. I think it should better be a bit thicker.
I took some pictures in comparison with my favorite Reykjavik chess set I use daily to give some idea why such pieces are expensive.
Bishops and Rooks do not differ much than the standard Staunton design, but still very nicely done.
Pawn top sphere is a bit smaller than I would have expected, but acceptable.
The neck of each piece narrows nicely and not too much to make it fragile. All pieces look and feel very sturdy.
The weight and feel of these pieces is very pleasant indeed, and each piece is very carefully wrapped with sponge for protection during transport.
I have checked many sellers before buying from the Royal Chess Mall. I assure you, they are the best. Delivered within a week time by DHL.
I already purchased the Alexandria chess pieces too, before receiving this "Spartacus".
I'll write a review as soon as I get my hands on it.

Beautiful set

One of the best chess set, very well crafted and with a beautiful knight.

Keurige zending

Gisteren mijn zending gehad. Lekker snel. Prima ingepakt. Ik ben heel tevreden ben goed op de hoogte gehouden. Top bedrijf Royal Chess Mall

Gesucht und hier gefunden, super schönes Figurenset

Ich habe für mein kleines Schachbrett (Feldgröße 40mm) passende Staunton-Figuren gesucht. Bei RoyalChessMall wurde ich fündig, für mich ein sehr schönes Figurenset (Königshöhe 2,8“). Lieferung war extrem schnell (5 Tage von Indien nach Deutschland).
Verpackung perfekt, jede Figur einzeln verpackt. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für mich sehr angemessen.

Hermosa pieza de arte

El tablero, las piezas y los terminados superaron mis expectativas, el juego esta muy bien construido. Quisiera invitar a todos mis amigos para jugar ❤️

Matches our new chess set perfectly

This board matched our new chess set perfectly (4.6” Mogul Staunton Luxury). Some of the darker squares are inconsistent though. One in particular is very noticeably much darker. Gives it some character I guess but do wish it was a bit more consistent. Aside from that, we are happy with it.

Beautiful set - on display

This set is our first from RCM and we are quite happy with it. The kids love to play as well. It is quite a large set (see the size of the queen in my hand, adult male hand for reference). The workmanship is amazing with the level of detail, specially the knights. We hope to get many years of use from this set.

Great!

My first Dubrovnik set and definitely a cool one for sure! Highly recommend

Way too big for chessnut air

Sorry but those pieces are way to big for the chessnut air. The height might be fines but the bases are not (kings and queens are larger than the actual chess board square).

Be careful before ordering...

RCM Chessboards Rock

ALERT! Royal Chess Mall chess boards are just as wonderful as the chessmen they sell! I just received this 21 inch Golden Rosewood board complete with letter and number notation. Beautiful. 👍
Solid construction with felt back and a smooth gorgeous finish. Nothing not to love. Highly recommend.

An amazing first set with issues with the storage box detailed below.

The delivery arrived one day before initial estimated time.

The pieces look beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice.

Due to the interesting patterns on the pieces it's easy to spot against the black squares as well.

The board is of a good quality, looks good, but it is quite glossy(see reflections in the image)so make an informed choice.

The storage box looks beautiful but as the images suggest, but it will require you to keep the pieces in a horizontal position, but it does fit all the pieces as shown in the image.

Note: Regarding the storage box, only the bottom of the box has felt unfortunately so be careful while storing the boxes since too much movement might chip the pieces against the side of the box, be careful and you should be fine.

Note to Royal chess Mall: Seriously would prefer to have felt on the sides and the top section of the storage, an unfortunate negative mark on an otherwise perfect set.

Truly Heirloom Quality

Received the 6.3” Jumbo Pro Staunton Luxury Chess Pieces Set in Golden Rosewood & Boxwood along with matching 25” board as a gift. The quality and hand-crafted workmanship are unreal. Truly heirloom quality. A real showpiece in our living room! Their customer service is equally impressive.

Sleek

Lovely black and gold marbling dark squares with slightly sparkling white squares, yet the overall tone is slightly muted, giving support to your chess pieces rather than overwhelming them. Excellent choice for my pieces. And the packing for this board was superb!

Chess Pieces and board

I received my chess set in perfect condition. Each piece was carefully packaged so that everything arrived in perfect condition. The chess pieces are beautifully made and feel solid, thanks to their weighted design. The board is elegant and durable.I am very impressed with the quality of this product and the excellent service. Thank you for the care and attention to detail during shipping!

Beautiful Craftsmanship

I couldn't be happier with my set of chess pieces from Royal Chess Mall. They arrived in excellent shape and are wonderfully made. These were my favorite knight shapes in my budget and they are excellent!

Piezas de excelente calidad

Piezas de ajedrez de muy buena calidad, terminados perfectos, estoy muy satisfecho con esta compra. Tal vez lo único que se podría mejorar es en agregar un poco más de peso a las piezas, son un poco más ligeras de lo que esperaba, salvo el rey y la dama que tienen un peso adecuado. Además de eso no tengo ninguna otra queja. Piezas muy recomendables a un precio accesible.

Amazing Quality

This is one part art piece, one part function. We use it every night and it adds a beautiful touch to our living room.
