Black and Golden 15 Inches Premium Quality Marble Chess Set

I am very satisfied with my purchase, BUT... there are some things you should know before buying.I bought this set for the pieces, and the pieces are great: very nice, very heavy, just what I wanted. As you can tell even from the pictures on radicaln, though, the pieces are WAY too large for the board. I already had a beautiful 18" marble board, so this was not a problem for me -- these pieces look GREAT on an 18" board. But on the 16" board provided with this set,... the pieces look as cramped in real life as they do in the radicaln pictures. (The board provided is also very beautiful, though, and I certainly plan to use it with some other, SMALLer chess pieces at some point in the future.)Another slightly negative note: The case the board comes in, and which you can put the pieces in (if you decide to use their too-small board with these pieces...), is pretty nice -- but the CLASPS are very flimsy -- too insecure. I know if I used that case one day I would have a massive spill when it flew open. Also, the case would be MUCH more useful if it had a handle of some kind, for carrying, along with more secure clasps.

Beautiful set. The board is heavy and solid. The pieces look great. I decided to keep the box it arrived in because it has thick styrofoam with slots designed for each individual piece, which would be perfect for protection during storage or moving. The pieces are solid and well made but they are marble, so be careful not to drop them on tile floors. The set is even beautiful enough to double as room decor. I would recommend this set.

The board is very nice, but some of the yellow marble pieces are covered in some sort of crystalline fuzz. Not sure what it is, but I’ll be returning it. UPDATE: shop sent new pieces immediately.

This was a gift for my wife for her birthday. It is really an amazing set. For the money this is heirloom quality. It really far exceeds my expectation. And as a follow up...on the first day my wife dropped a pawn and broke it. I reached out to Radicaln for options to purchase a replacement. They responded immediately and after a nominal fee sent me a whole set of pawn replacements! Unbelievable service.

A very fine board and pieces; excellent for gifts, for play, or for study. Do wish it came with the traveling case though. Upon arrival my black king was broken in two but they responded promptly and replaced it.
