This chess set turned out to be even more attractive in person than the pictures. The squares on the board have a nice grain to them (in different directions between light and dark squares), and the ridges do in fact catch ambient light in a striking way. I also think the pieces are close enough to standard shapes to be easy to recognize but different enough to be interesting.I haven't seen the quality control problems others have noted. There weren't any scratches or mismatches between the tops and bottoms of the pieces. Everything looks and feels very high quality. Maybe the manufacturer has fixed some of those problems, or maybe I just got lucky with my set.As for playing, it's obviously not the most usable set. You can't easily slide pawns forward, like chess players usually like to do. And the wobbling of the pieces can be distracting during play (though it doesn't last very long). However, the pieces are nice and heavy with a satisfying "thunk" when you put them on the board. And the pieces have a lot of tactile interest to them because they have a lot of curves, so fidgeters like me will enjoy playing with them.I wanted an interesting, beautiful, reasonably playable, reasonably priced chess set; I'm very happy that this one has checked all of those boxes.

5.0 out of 5 stars This wonderful set makes the game more fun; assuming it arrives in an acceptible condition.
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2021
It's an excellent design i spotted in chicago 5 years ago at architecture foundation but couldn't buy. Congratulations to the designer who created such a wonderful idea, and to amazon who made it accessable. I will use it with pride when i welcome chess playing friends. But, it's a fact that the set should be packed extremely well for unharmed delivery to the buyer, which it wasn't. That's probably why the board was cracked horizontally in one corner, under about 4 squares. This was apparent before opening the package since it obviously received an impact on one of the corners on the way. Well i like amazon and use all its branches every once in a while, but this is an important mistake, fortunately not writing off the set. I can't be bothered dealing with exchanging the board even if someone says there is such an opportunity, since the corner seems solid enough, the squares are unharmed and crack wouldn't propagate further. I will continue shopping with all amazons but will hope for undamaged products.
