I recently purchased the Craftsman Series Staunton Chess Set in Ebony and Boxwood with the 3.9" King. I bought a slightly imperfect set on sale, so I'd like to address this in my review.
Let me say first off that I am completely happy with the set. It is very lovely and as I intend to actually play games with the set, it is a perfect height and weight.
Many people may be reluctant to purchase an imperfect set, One doesn't know what kind of imperfections the set may have. I have purchase imperfect sets from Royal Chess Mall in the past and I have no reluctance to do so in the future. There are slight differences in the color if the pieces, especially the white pawns. Since I intend to use this for tournament play, these small color variations make no difference to me. These pieces will be handled; they will discolor with age and use. I regard this as the normal patina of use.
In addition to color difference, there is a marked difference in weight for some of the pieces. Again, this makes no difference to me as a player.
I can highly recommend buying sets from Royal Chess Mall. I also recommend picking up their slightly imperfect sets if you intend to actually use them. They are a great deal.
On top of that, Royal Chess Mall provides great service, no additional fees, free shipping and I received the set in about a week!
The photos below have a warm light source to the viewers right which distorts the color of the white pieces.

Zeer mooie stukken. Over het algemeen zeer goed voor een “imperfecte” set. Sommige ebbenhouten stukken waren enigszins onafgewerkt, d.w.z. dof of met andere details dan de witte stukken, of scheef. Dat gezegd hebbende, een andere imperfecte set die ik kocht was perfect, dus misschien is het een beetje een gok.

Zoals altijd, absoluut tevreden. Dit is een zeer mooi schaakspel, gemaakt van ebbenhout en buxushout. De prijs is uitzonderlijk gezien de kwaliteit. De verpakking en verzending waren perfect.
