This set is absolutely beautiful. It is a pleasure to play on. The checkers pieces are smooth and solid. We are really enjoying having it!

I bought this item as a birthday gift for my son. It is beautifully presented with the inlay etc and perfect for his occasional use. It is particularly ideal with having the chess set on the outside of the case - so he is able to use it for both games. It appears to be beautifully made.

This is a beautiful set, possibly a little darker than I expected but it’s not for me and I haven’t spent real time looking at it. The mother of Pearl is beautiful and I’m glad I choose this set. I was really happy to find that dice shakers were included. This is a gift for my parents and I think they will be really impressed!
