AMEROUS 15.6 inches Magnetic Wooden Chess Set, Handheld Style Chess Board Game Sets with Game Pieces Storage Slots - 2 Extra Queens - Gift Package, Chess for Beginner, Kids and Adults

It looks nice - the quality is reasonable. I wish the pieces were heavier and metal - but I am not taking stars for that. The handle is great - and it looks really nice set up. Magnet strength is medium - and feels like it's just there to compensate for the weight of the pieces. It's not really a travel piece - it's 15.5 inches so - but great for home.

Beautifully made. Sturdy wooden board and pieces. Some of the felt on the bottom of the pieces had to be reaffixed, but no big problem, nothing to write home about. Magnets are strong, after all, we’re not playing outside during a hurricane. Perfectly sized board, light-weight enough to carry by the convenient handle that doesn’t interfere with the play of the game or damage your table top. The cushioned storage inside keeps the pieces from getting marred, like they would be if they were just thrown into a bag all willy-nilly instead of being nestled nicely in their own little beds. I would be a happy recipient if I received this as a gift - I would think it cost much more than it did! A great bargain!

Nice set for the money - I think the scalloped edges on this board gives it an edge over others in this price range - The magnetic pieces are also a nice feature.

This is a beautiful board, very well made, and the perfect set for my grandson who is just now expressing an interest in chess. I helped him play his first match against his cousin on Christmas Day on his aunt's crystal set and, after winning, was totally enthralled and picked it up very quickly. I can't wait until he unwraps this set for his birthday!

High quality and really nice it comes with an extra queen

Nice beginner set for granddaughter. Very pretty but board edges could be sanded a bit better. Knights are also a bit rough and one has crack from top to bottom. Hopefully it stays in one piece but if not the company’s warranty says they will replace it. I like the magnetic closure instead of metal clasps found on most folding sets. Magnetic pieces are not particularly strong but probably strong enough to hold their position if bumped. All in all I’m pleased with this purchase.

Fantastic gift idea! Magnetic pieces hold up well and the quality is superb. Would definitely buy again and recommend to others… great Chess board for the price! 9 year old grandson really loved it and we’ve played more now that he has his own set.

Foldable wooden chess set from Amerous has a very unusually shaped chess board which was received flawless and built to last! The entire set is consistent with Amerous quality and attention to detail. This set is currently available with a 20% coupon and while I paid full price, I have no regrets whatsoever! I made a gift recently of an Amerous chess set to a friend who was recovering from a medical issue and he could not get over the quality of the gift, which pleased me very unusually
