“Nice product but is not straight there is a gap in the center which means that the pieces slide even with the felt underneath.”

“Pretty poor quality. The pieces are turnedlathed irregularly and are more eggshaped than round. Also quite light, almost falling over if you breathe heavily. Even the felt adhesive pads on the underside of the pieces are carelessly applied and cause some of them to tip slightly by up to 3 inches. The king falls into checkmate on its own. The chessboard itself is fine. You can use it for a round of chess, but then quickly pack it away again before someone sees it and asks about the price...”
