Brilliant chess board
Very elegant looking chess board I am very pleased with how it was packaged and presented even with a little note from penelope saying she hand packed the board. It also comes with a booklet with the basics of chess. Thank you for the effort that was put in.

Very Impressed
I am dressing a stunning loch side property to be a 5 star luxury let in Scottish highlands and stumbled on this Jaques of London Chess set. Having invested too much into this property already I have become very price driven and conscious in the final bits needed so studied several options over a cuppa. An ex product developer /importer I have a keen eye for quality and price. This set jumped out as it looked leagues ahead of others in finish , small detail and presentation yet was priced to compete with others being offered. Genuinely I thought too goo to be true must be well dressed photography......but I took the punt and bought it and a Tumble Tower wooden brick set.Arrived today and I am genuinely gob smacked just how good this set is in every way. The quality is stunning, the finish immaculate. I know all too well just how difficult it is to achieve and maintain highest of standards in consumer products but this company clearly have their parameters set super tight. Even in the small details of gold logo on board it is a perfect product. I only paid around £29 for this but it looks and feels like a £150 set. The packaging is a massive understatement in what we expect but actually subliminally sets a tone of refined quality gift. Printed bow with company name and then beautiful printed paper inside really set this off. Generally I do not write these reviews , just too busy and lets face it none of us stand outside Waitrose telling others how good our steak was last night so why do it on Amazon.....if a company provides good product at affordable price it will succeed ....simple. However left so impressed with this set and the Tumble Tower it would be an injustice not to compliment both products and commend the company for their most obvious efforts while remaining very competitive against all others. If you take time to read this I do hope you also "take the punt" as I did as confident you will feel equally delighted on recipt.Well done Jaques of London.

Good quality and value
Have bought the item as a Christmas present. The item came the day after I ordered it and is exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent board comes with chess pieces which are not of the same quality
Excellent board, the pieces are attached by elastic inside and are perfectly usable if you don't already have chess pieces, but they are not of the same quality as the board

Good Value for Money
Received my set in good time. The craftsmanship for £32 was a lot better than what I was expecting; all the pieces and board look nice, the board was alined with a little (barely noticeable) warping.After reading through some of the reviews I had a little trepidation, especially seeing some of the images of pieces damaged. But, as far as the set I received goes, it was all in good order and of a very good quality. This was my first physical chess set, thinking about getting a more ornamental set as a Christmas gift. I can definitely see this set as being the one I'd take away with me / have for general use.

Ok value, but a few rough edges
It's a nice looking set, though let down by rough edges around the side of the board, and some sightly wonky pieces
