Nice chess set
The size of the pieces and accompanying cardboard board are perfect and they are very well made. If you are interested on the more expensive wood chess set this manufacturer sells, this one will give you an idea of the shape and size of what the ones used for World Chess Championship tournaments look like.Obviously, these are still plastic and not as heavy as wooden pieces, but they handle well and seem they will last a long time. I also have a "Best Chess Set Ever" and can report those are pieces are heavier than this set, in case that is important for you.If you want it for travelling, say a camping trip, I think it should be fine if going by car. Otherwise, it you are travelling by plane, the box may be too big if you have only a carry-on bag.I think most people will enjoy playing with this set.

Perfect set
This is a great set for travel or home use. I have not had an issue with the weight of the pieces either, tbh. If you are looking for a quality, budget chess set, this is the one

pretty good- a couple small things to improve
Overall, it's a good solid set. The pieces feel pretty good for plastic and have a decent weight to them. The outside container is nice and I like the algebraic notation on the board. For improvement:-The pieces come in cheap plastic bags. They should come in fabric drawstring bags.-The board started to fall apart after a year so I had to tape it together. They could have made that more sturdy

FIDE official WC set in Plastic.
This is a plastic version of the official set used in WC and other top level FIDE events. The design is very nice and useable in either tournaments, club or home, Staunton design with a different crown on the King and very nice design Knightsthe only thing that should have been done better is the board, cardboard instead of at least vinyl/silicone. Overall a nice set that will last for many years (get a good mousepad board).

Pieces are great!!! The board not that good
For the price of this chess, they should put more effort into the quality of the board.
