It is good quality in general. This is the second set I’ve had. Only reason I bought the second one is I thought I had lost the first in a move. I later found my original. Great travel set too, compact and fairly light, but heavy enough Hope that helps. **Q: I read a review that said the board is beveled so the pieces have a hard time staying on the board. Can you you tell me if this is true? Thank you** A: We have owned the board for almost 2 years and have not had a problem with the shape of the board. However, it is a small set and the pieces are beautiful but probably 1/3 to 1/4 of regular size...so in moving them we have had some accidents with knocking pieces over or off the board. Having said this we would purchase this set again. We leave it out on a small table in our living room and run continuous games - perfect size for our use! **Q: What are sizes of chess pieces?** A: They range from 7/8ths of an inch (Pawns) up to 1.75" for the Kings. All the other pieces fall in between those two measurements. They are rather small, but very detailed. **Q: where is the set made?** A: The sticker on the bottom says, "Made in England." ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely lovely!

The board and pieces are very small, the board is only 9" square, but very detailed. The storage for the pieces is nicely lined and offers excellent protection. The pieces have a good weight to them for their size, they are not flimsy plastic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Isle of Lewis Compact Celtic Chess Set 9 Inches - The Lewis Chessmen: Unmasked - Ivory Vikings: The Mystery of the Most Famous Chessmen in the World and the Woman Who Made Them: The Mystery of the Most Famous Chessmen in the World and the Woman Who Made Them --- ## 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.com.cy/products/21172398-isle-of-lewis-compact-celtic-chess-set-9-inches](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/21172398-isle-of-lewis-compact-celtic-chess-set-9-inches) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
