Looks good, well priced, slightly damaged on arrival.
Pieces look and feel great.
The board had a few scuffs on it and one of the joins at the corner isn't quite flush.
But for the price pretty happy with it.

Looks very good
Looks very good, but I feel the veneer is quite poor, which is even broken/chipped in one place.
Would have included an image but doesn't seem to be that option here.

Excellent Professionalism
I didn’t actually make a purchase from this company as the set I enquired about was out of stock but when I was asking them many questions about various sets they were still amazingly helpful and professional and spoke highly of another company who I ultimately ended up purchasing a set from. I was impressed with their professionalism and also their responsiveness and the company I eventually purchased a chess set of also said what an excellent company this was. I would have gladly purchased from this website if the set I looked at was in stock but it wasn’t to be on this occasion despite their amazing customer service and willingness to help despite them not gaining a sale. Thank you Official Staunton and maybe next time!
