This Board Games give to us some advantages, like this :
1. You get what you pay for
I am not too impressed with the quality of the product.
I'm still debating whether or not I will return it.
The board is solid and heavy but a cheap felt piece is glued to the
bottom of the board which is hollow and filled with styrofoam.
The dark pieces are very nice. The light pieces are more green in color and dusted with white powder.
The checker pieces are the same... the dark set is nice and the light set is not.
All pieces have glued on felt on the bottom.
The lids to the secret compartments on the board don't fit very well and the one I got is discolored (doesn't match the board) and the checker pieces do not all fit inside the small compartments.
So all in all it is just a novelty chess set.

2. Beautiful, with great historical value, but not the board isn't very practical
I love that this set not only includes both chess and checkers, but the board is so beautiful as well. I highly value having a chess set with such historical value (look up the Isle of Lewis chessmen on wikipedia). I'm very happy with the level of detail and the craftsmanship of the pieces. My only issue is that the board, while beautiful, is not practically designed. The two openings on the sides are just for show. They're not nearly big enough to hold even all the checkers pieces. That's fine if you're willing to store the pieces elsewhere (a couple of nice velvet sacs would do, but nothing like that comes with the set). It's unfortunate the board isn't better designed for storage, since it's basically completely hollow underneath (except it's been filled with styrofoam and closed over with felt). Even though it's hollow, the board is extremely heavy.

The photo doesn't quite do justice to the set--I was worried about the detail of the chessmen, but I was pleasantly...
