AMEROUS Magnetic Wooden Chess and Checkers Game Set, 15 Inches (2 in 1) Chess Board Games, 2 Extra Queens - Gift Package - Game Pieces Storage Slots, Beginner Chess Set for Kids, Adults

I bought this chess set for my boys to practice chess. I searched and really liked the magnetic option. The chess set also comes with checkers. The set itself is well made and each piece is beautifully carved from wood. We have taken it on trips and the boys love playing where ever we go. The price was competitive but the main reason I am writing this post is that they dropped a chess piece and our dog decided to use it as a chew toy. I was bummed that we were missing a piece when I realized there was a lifetime warranty. I messaged asking for a replacement piece and within a week they sent me an entire new set of chess pieces. I have never had this type of amazing costumer service. So if you are looking for a beautiful chess set do yourself a favor and buy this one. You will not be disappointed!

This chessboard is awesome quality and the customer service is phenomenal. If you’re looking for a good chessboard, this is it.

This game board and pieces are exceptional. They're very high quality, and the magnets are just strong enough to hold the pieces in place. The game pieces glide when moved with no resistance from the board.

Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to improve their enjoyment of either game. It feels like it will provide years of entertainment and will make game play more enjoyable than using a basic cheap plastic set.This set is very well crafted and feels rather refined, especially when compared to having played on cheap plastic sets for quite a while. The felt covered magnetic bottoms of the pieces allow for smooth movement and work well to keep pieces from shifting around when you play on a surface that may move or if you need to relocate the game to a different area for some reason during play. Delivery was quick, although it was shipped in an unpadded plastic bag. These are 'very' hit/miss when it comes to damaging the product as each delivery experience is different, so I feel I got lucky on this one - no damage. But I would recommend to the seller / shipper that they use a padded plastic bag at least.Unfortunately, I cannot give this product a 5-star rating. The metal clasps protrude slightly on the bottom on the sides of the board when setup for play. Not an issue if you plan to use it on carpet or any surface you don't care about, but if you put it on a nice tabletop, use caution as you risk damaging or scratching that table due to the metal nubs on one side and the corners of the clasps that stick out slightly beyond the base of the wooden box - about 1/8 of an inch. This is the main reason for docking it a star.Additionally, I feel it should be mentioned that if you want to play checkers you will need to remove the chess pieces from the foam cutouts because the board will not lie flat with them still in the holders. Not a huge deal, but it is something I was not aware of. This means having to store the chess pieces to the side or in the cardboard product box vs the game itself. Sort of depreciates the nice foam holders that keep the pieces neatly organized and separated so they don't get damaged by clinking around in the box. I had the impression you could leave pieces in the foam cutouts.

Very nice set. Wish it had the number and letter scales. Some peices don't sit tight in case. Have to take peices out to sit flush.

Before opening and using the product, the packing was fabulous all on its own. I bought this as a birthday gift and was very impressed with the appearance. You receive game instructions for chess and checkers, a postcard, and warranty card. As you can see from the photos, all pieces for both games were in and accounted for. When setting up a game for chess, there were two extra queen pieces. The magnets worked perfectly for the game- as you can see, you can tilt to board and the pieces don’t fall off but may slide a little. This makes it good for traveling and getting bumped a little without all the pieces falling and ruining the game. The top of the board does easily get scratched up on surfaces though so be careful and handle with some care. I got sold on this board because of the price range (such a good deal being that cheap with all the stuff you get), good for all ages, small and compacted, sturdy, and very detailed with design! For the price I would recommend purchasing for you or as a gift!

Very well made and love that the pieces are magnetized and it comes in a nice durable case to stay organized as well. Worth the money

Awesome grandson loves it
