Since then, she's not only learned how to play, but her little sister was born and is now learning chess to. I mention this not to brag (well, maybe a little, clever kids! haha) but to emphasize that despite this set now having been used by myself and a couple of rambunctious kids for years now, it's held up terrifically. The board and pieces are all well-made, the board can be easily folded up with the pieces inside to put it away, and the nice, big, wooden board and hand-carved pieces make a nice table-top decoration if you prefer to leave the board out on the table for long stretches of time (which we often do, because it's easier to convince the kids to play a few moves before arguing for screen time when the game is out in the open, ready for a match). The price has gone up a notable amount since my original purchase, but as long as the quality is still as good as the one I got, I'd say it's still worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really, really nice chess board. *by A***R on December 1, 2021* I wanted a a chess board that my kids could grow up playing on a "the family board". This is the size, heft, and hand-made quality that I wanted. The pieces feel substantial in your hand. The workmanship is wonderful. Personally, considering the details, I would say that it is worth 2-3x the price.That is not to say there are no negatives, and here they are:The board and pieces stunk when it was first opened. It was obviously from what was used to stain the wood and is understandable because any smell of the pieces was trapped in the box, but it did stink. I just left it in the garage for a few weeks before I brought it in. The smell doesn't stay forever, but it does need to air.Also, there isn't enough clear distinction between the king and queen. The look is too similar for my taste and the height is too close. It's not a big deal once you get used to the look, but more of a height difference would have been welcome.Bottom line:The negatives don't change my rating. The first you can just air it out to not be a problem, and the second is a personal preference and small irritation. I have seen no other chess board of similar size and heft that gives you the feel that this is how the game was classically played.Buy it, air it out first, and enjoy your games with a fine chess set. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and sturdy *by K***N on June 17, 2025* This is gorgeous, the pieces feel nice and there is plenty of room to move them around the board. This is definitely a statement chess set and a joy to play with. It was a gift for my husband. The entire family has loved playing with this set. The pieces are sturdy and the board itself is beautifully carved. We like the numbered and lettered grid carved into the board. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wegiel Legate Luxury Wooden Chess Set for Adults and Kids - 18 Inch Handcrafted from Premium Beech and Birch Wood - Unique Folding Design with Chess Piece Storage - LEAP Chess Clock Digital Chess Timer Professional for Board Games Timer with Alarm Function (Official Store) Wood Appearance - How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/680410975-legate-luxury-wooden-chess-set-for-adults-and-kids-18](https://www.desertcart.us/products/680410975-legate-luxury-wooden-chess-set-for-adults-and-kids-18) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
