I just purchased this set. It arrived yesterday. If you are looking for a very good set to use. This is it. The pieces are weighted nicely. The set looks and feels great. Can't beat the $20.00 price!!! delivery charges are a little steep, but they are on everything nowadays. you even get a free vinyl chess board. I highly recommend this set.
Rating: - Great Set. Nice color. (red)
Ordered on Sunday - arrived on Thursday. Quick shipment.
This is my first "real" set. I've usually used smaller sets made of wood, marble, plastic.
This set has a nice & wide base and includes a nice roll-up board that has a good size for these pieces.
The pieces are weighted, yet aren't too heavy. They definitely shouldn't topple over accidentally, but are not cumbersome to move.

Rating:  - Piece are very nice - surprised the board was roll up vinyl
The pieces are very nice. Just the right amount of heft to them.
The board is annotated as well, which is a nice touch for those that are learning the notation. I was surprised it was vinyl and rolled up, but that is not a major concern for me.
Rating: - Best knight ever!!
The knight is what really sets this set apart from the rest, it is simply fantastic! The weight, feel and playability of this set are excellent, and of the 25+ sets I own this is my favorite and most often reached for!
For this price, you certainly cannot go wrong. Quality is great!
Rating: - Best Plastic Chess set ever seen.
I've been playing chess for 40+ years and was bowled over by the quality of this set and the care taken in producing it. Looks and even feels better than many wooden sets I've owned. Best possible value. In this age of declining standards and cheap merchandising, this is a very pleasant and unexpected surprise! Kudos for quality.
