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.

I received my chess pieces 1 week ago, until they arrived in Bogotá, Colombia
These chess pieces arrived in perfect condition without any mishap or damage. A wonderful work of carving by hand with the design and rosewood bud, make this chessmen a luxury. Without a doubt the most beautiful and wonderful chess pieces that I have ever acquired. I am sure that Royal Chess Mall will continue to be my favorite place to continue buying my chess pieces for my own collection. Thank you very much. Cordially, Jaime Camacho

The Spartacus chess pieces in bud rosewood and boxwood is a work of art. The King stands tall at 4.6 inches with a unique design on the crown. I like it since it is different from all the chess pieces that I have in my collection. The other distinguishing design of the pieces is the twin rings in the bases of all the pieces.
The pieces arrived on the date promised, and was individually wrapped in a foam material so they were protected during shipment. The weight of the pieces is within range of what was declared in the site, and I was happy about that.
I got these pieces in the slightly imperfect pieces section. Understandably, there are some minor imperfections. Overall, however, I am happy with that since it is what it is. Another comment that I have is that the packing department people should always include a card when they ship the item This is my third purchase, and I never got a card.
In conclusion, I am pleased with the purchase, despite those minor defects and omissions. I certainly will purchase chess pieces again from Royal Chess Mall.
