Manopoulos - Classic 2-in-1 Combo Games Set in Walnut replica wooden case – Chess & Backgammon – 16-inch x 16-inch (41cm x 41cm) – Classic Strategy Board Games - great gift or present

This specific chess set is a quality piece and this becomes evident the moment you take it out of the box and glance at the satin finish on the board to the chess pieces. You can see the grain of the wood through the polish.Now ..and this is a personal choice. I would prefer to feel the grain myself however this doesn't take from the quality of this set which is more subtle.

This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful chess board! It's so stunning and would make such a lovely gift for a chess player. It feels really high quality and is quite hefty and substantial feeling - amazing build quality. The pieces are lovely to hold and everything about it feels premium. It's quite big and looks great on our coffee table, and the pieces can be stored inside when not in use. It even smells beautiful - it's obviously been finished with some wood varnish or coating which has left it smelling really good! Overall, this would be such a wonderful gift - especially for a chess player who appreciates a beautifully crafted product.

grate games, nice design, very well finishes product
