This is my 3rd purchase from Royal Chess Mall. I purchased the 4.5" Tilted Knight Luxury Staunton Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only Bud Rosewood & Boxwood a month or so ago and thought that I had a board worthy – I was WRONG ! When my 25 inches Large Chess board in Golden Rosewood & Maple Wood - 65 mm Square arrived, ( in record time I might add ) I was overwhelmed - IT IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL. It is perfect for the Rosewood and Maple large pieces. I congratulate the Royal Chess Mall team on how well and safely it was packaged and on the surprise of the velvet bag and dust cloth that was included. Not 5 stars, I give it 10.
Truly impressed at the quality of these. My favorite set at the moment. I’m already contemplating my next set from Royal Chess Mall. Chose the imperfect set but I can’t find a flaw with it unless it’s the tone of the white pieces… some are slightly darker but I don’t mind.
Suaves al tacto, buenas piezas pero un alfil tiene con astillas de madera, muy bonito más no perfecto
It`s a fantastic set, a great choice for a 5cm-square board.
This is a gorgeous chess set. While it is taller than a regulation tournament set, it fits on a standard board with 2.25” squares. I use Royal’s improved Lardy set for tournament and club play, Royal’s Dubrovnik set with no weights set up in the basement, but this set has made it to the living room. It is so beautiful and well proportioned that my wife does not mind it on our coffee table!
I'm very glad I bought this set. It's so beautiful - even my grumpy teenage son said "that's a really nice chess set" when he saw it. The design is clean and modern (much nicer than a Staunton) and the pieces are large and well made (the only workmanship issue is slight asymmetries in the knights' tiny heads, but this is barely noticeable). The set feels really nice in the hand, particularly the pawns which have a nice bottom-heavy swing when you move them. It's so pretty that it's now on permanent display on my kitchen peninsula, where everyone can see it.
The size is nice - the pieces are tall (nearly 10cm kings) and the board is thick, broad and quite heavy. The workmanship on the board also seems good. The squares don't have frame around them, so I thought the board might have a bit of flex and was worried about its durability, but it feels good and sturdy and it has a high finish - I can only feel a very faint join between a few of the squares (otherwise the edges are perfectly smooth).
Overall, I love it. It's nice to play with, seems well built and is very, very pretty. 5/5
Fantastic pieces! Not sure what’s slightly imperfect about them. Nicely carved, well weighted and a joy to play with. Will definitely consider buying more imperfect sets if they are of the same quality!
the coating under the pieces isn't of quality and that is the same for the black vanish on the pieces. The good point is the delivery time. I received my order at time
Llegó en una semana aproximadamente, súper bien empacado y cuidado. El set está muy bien hecho, los acabados son muy bonitos, realmente se siente el esfuerzo y calidad en el producto, compraré otro set de mayor gama a futuro.
The quality of the piece is top notch.
Craftsmanship is superb.
Packaging for the shipment was excellent and it took a shorter amount of time to arrive in central US, than many local shipping does! Six days!!
Will shop here again!
The small imperfections have been restored well, well enough to give good 'character' and retain their design. The pieces themselves are easy on the eyes, they have a lovely balance and are very tactile, great... 5tar!!!
This chess set is amazing! The craftsmanship and love you can tell is put into making it is remarkable! I will definitely be purchasing more sets.
Been looking for the perfect colour and size for our Lewis chessmen bought years ago and found it with this board
This red stained set is refreshing to play after some time with other typical woods. The color adds variety to chess, along with capturing some Romanian-Hungarian features very similar to sets created by IM Biro Sandor. Unlike many other sets with some common designs, this set is very recognizable with only one or two pieces. A nice addition.
The 1904 Cambridge Springs International chess tournament inspired this reproduction chess set. Very well crafted in ebony and boxwood, the knight distinguishes itself from other typical equestrian figures. Some may call it a Llama, others say a laughing horse. Either way, it's quite enjoyable and notably unique amongst most other chess knights. Along with comments from my friends regarding the knight, some also remarked on the hefty weight of the ebony pieces (measured at 17% more than the boxwood counterparts). An elegant set with early 20th century styling, and a nice addition to my collection.
I bought 3 storage boxes for different size chess pieces and I am very satisfied this product. The quality of the storage boxes is very good and was above my expectations. It has a nice texture and a good finish. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a must-have for keeping those valuable chess pieces safe from scratches or damage.
There was an issue with the availability, but that was solved within a couple of hours. They even offered me an upgrade. So it’s fair to say that customer service is what you expected it to be. I will most certainly visit this webshop again in the future.
Les pièces sont magnifiques, je suis extrêmement content de mon achat.
Je recommande vivement Royal Chess Mall.
Thank you to the artisans of Amritsar India, who produce the most beautiful of chess sets. I ordered just a chess set; no box or board. Extremely well packaged. Absolutely delighted with mine, and received in the UK in less than a week. Superb craftsmanship!
I had purchased a Chess set off House of Staunton and was incredibly disappointed when it arrived. Both in quality and design. I decided to try another company and man...when I opened this up I was so thankful. It was exactly what I hoped it would be. I purchased some 3.9 inch Staunton design pieces to go with it and man...what a set I have now. I absolutely adore this set and love to play on it. Thank you Royal Chess Mall! You guys know what you are doing.
very good quality of the figures, fast shipping
Just received them today. Wonderful design. Feel like in the serie. Thanks a lot.
Five stars for the chess pieces, they are spectacular, but one star less due to the measures in the sheet on the description being very approximate. In particular the king measures 43 mm (not 42) at the base, the bishop's base is about 37 mm (not 39), etc. Also the overall weight is about 100 grams less than declared in the data sheet (with the black pieces, in ebony, which generally have slightly smaller dimensions than the white ones, but overall weigh about ninety grams more). It is therefore a very expensive chess set, but it is worth it, except for the inaccuracy in the measurements (already noted in two other sets previously purchased). Reasonably fast shipping to Italy. Also included (surprisingly) was a soft pouch. Well done Royal Chess Mall!
Estas piezas están bien buenas
You can easily find more elaborate pieces with more attitude and more intricate embellishments. However, the quiet aesthetics of these pieces make them stand out as a testament to the perfection of the Staunton design. Pictures don’t do these pieces proper justice, you have to feel them to really appreciate them. I highly recommend these pieces. These pieces are also a delight to play with, designed with functionality in mind. On top of all this, RCM also offers an excellent support. You won’t regret this buy.
If there was any imperfections I could not tell. I am a proud Canadian owner and repeat customer.
