Excellent gift option
" Wonderful value for the piece count and types. As a chess instructor, I wouldn't use this to teach young students, but it's good enough to play with, assuming no timers. The pieces, when assembled well, are very sturdy and hold up to play.
It would be nice to be able to get additional queens. (Certain parts aren't available in pick-a-brick.) It is common to have an extra queen for both sides in similarly priced chess sets. Not important unless I'm actually trying to play games frequently with this set. I will generally just have this board sitting as office decoration.
The design of the board is sturdy. There are very few minor things to nitpick. Blue 2X1s instead of blue 2X2s. Having to add the little green, round buttons to stack the two board parts. Checker pieces aren't ideal.
I will be getting more sets to use as gifts! Highly recommend purchasing at this price! "
