Excellent chess set - delivered promptly and very well packaged.

Dave MorrisonReviewed 06/10/2023

Second time I've used this company and would be my first choice again. The small set I bought for training was high quality, with perfectly weighted pieces. Delivery was prompt and the set was well packaged.

Product Description

Downhead Acacia 3 inch chessmen. These are a classic design, one that we have sold for years. These new editions are made from Acacia wood which is more sustainable and less regulated than Sheesham. A lovely set of weighted chessmen made to an amazingly high standard. Bases are lined with thick billiard cloth (green). Ideal for chess boards from fourteen to sixteen inches.

"Pieces were a little rough around the edges, but can't complain."

J Quarterman, 30th March 2021

"Lovely pieces for the price. There's a nice weight with them aswell. A joy for practising and playing with."

C , 20th February 2021

"A lovely little competition style chess set. Well made, and fits perfectly on 40mm squares."

M A Aram, 12th January 2021

"These pieces are beautifully carved from wood and feel tactile to use. Although quite expensive, I think they will last for a very long time and are well worth the investment."

P Macfarlane, 10th January 2021

"A very nice set! They feel good and weighty in my hands and whilst playing at the board - they are well finished and a joy to practice with, so much so that I bought a similar set for my partner's chess board, which were of the same quality. I'm beginning to really like regency chess!"
