Radicaln Marble Chess Set with Storage Box 15 Inches Black and Fossil Coral Handmade Chess Board Games - 2 Player Games for Adults - 1 Chess Board & 32 Chess Pieces

I've been searching for a quality chess set for some time. I initially thought about purchasing a wooden one but there is something special about marble chess sets. This set is just beautiful. When it arrived I was surprised by how heavy it was. The pieces are very nicely polished and have a nice weight to them. Because these are genuine marble, no two pieces are exactly alike. The pieces are also nicely detailed and easy to distinguish between all the pieces during play. It's a very difficult job to create detail in marble by hand. The board is equally beautiful with a very well polished surface. The overall board is 15x15" but the actual playing area is 12x12" with 1.5" squares. In my man-cave this set really stands out on display with elegance. When ordering I had a difficult time trying to decide which color set because they all look so nice in the photos. I decided on the Black and Fossil Coral and very happy with how the colors look with the natural imperfections particularly in the coral (white) pieces and on the board. I would easily pay double what I did if I saw the set in person prior to purchasing it. I'm not an expert chess player but play on occasion with friends. So when not in use it will make a nice display and conversation piece. The case my set came with fit all the pieces and board very snug and well padded. This set will last for decades if well kept. The shipment arrived very quickly and was well packed, no damage to the set at all. Thanks for a wonderful product.

I bought this Chess set after a lot of searching; I bought it as a Christmas gift for my 10-year old daughter. It looked like the quality met the price point, but you never know from pictures and reviews. I was concerned because the description noted it was a bit fragile and the shipping process might damage it. Also, folks noted that it needed felt pieces. The package came on time and was packaged more than adequately. All the pieces were in perfect shape and as beautiful as I could have imagined them. The board and pieces are quite heavy and quite gorgeous. The blue carrying case is cheap and flimsy, but adequate enough if handled carefully. The pieces DO fit in the slots but required some delicate stuffing. The set DID come with a complete set of stick-on felt pieces as well, with several left over. I made the right decision on the chess set. I could not be happier. I think this set is a true show piece. My daughter loves it and it looks great just sitting in the room. Thank you!

The media could not be loaded. I've been searching for a artistic chess set that is tasteful, elegant and kind of modern or minimalistic in the same time to keep focus on the game easily without distractions from overload of details and ornaments... and I got this one! It exceeded my expectations by far. I'm amazed how satisfyling it is to play, how clear and natural it looks, and how neat and smooth it feels. I was afraid that richness of texture of marble and coral might be distracting, but i was wrong. It's still there to please your eyes but does not interfere with with gameplay as all the pieces are easy to distinguish. I especially appreciate the Knight design. It dictates the theme of the set, making it a bit exotic and modern, yet its still tastefull and complements classical style of the other pieces (i upoaded a video if you want to have a closer look). Amazing. As said earlier set is perfectly balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Weight of the pieces is also among the pros, pieces feel pleasant to touch and neat to play with. Its handcrafted stone afterall. Board is a litte heavy, but i wouldn't consider that a con, simply because i won't move it around. It's a beautifu set that i intend to keep in sight. What it also means is it's sturdy and durable so you can absolutely use it outdoors. Also, a shoutout to customer service! Professional, helpful and they value customers saticfaction as priority. Summing it all up, i'm delighted and happy to recomend it further. Thanks RadicalN!

The light pieces are full of fossils, it is amazing. The photo does it no justice, absolutely beautiful set. Nice craftsmanship, weight and size. Box it comes with is fine too. I leave it out when not in use as decoration.

The product, as you may imagine, even though it was amazingly wrapped with styrofoam and an overabundance of tape, was vulnerable to get damaged. It is stone, after all. Since it was made of natural materials, there were some microcracks. Negligible and almost invisible, for what it's worth - it's just that I work for Quality Management (ISO Processes) so I notice flaws right away. If it were any other company, that would have been an expensive $149 disappointment. Read on for my experience with them.I saw in the comments that they were very helpful so I sent them an e-mail.Very helpful group of folks. They were generous enough to give me a replacement board without the hassle of returning the other one when I found some damage. For the pieces that were broken, I had to order extra ones for about on a separate Amazon link for about $29. The company was patient and deliberate in explaining to me their charges. They gave me 4 pieces for that and 4 more when I complained it was so expensive for just 4. I used to work pricing for a logistics company so when they explained that they were paying DHL $38 to ship from where they were (I think they are from Pakistan).So I have two boards now and a lot of extra pieces. I'm using the flawed one as a centerpiece on my living room table (plus the extra/micro-cracked pieces) and the new one as the actual board displayed somewhere else with all the pieces in another room.I think it's a great investment. This is a perfect example of how great people make the product great and not how great products make people great. You won't regret buying from RadicalN.
