15" Wooden Chess Set with Magnetic Pieces - Extra Queens - Folding Chessboard Portable Travel Tournament Chess Board Games for Adults Kids

I bought this 15" wooden magnetic chess set as a gift for my son, and it was an instant hit. The craftsmanship is excellent—the wood has a rich walnut finish, everything is smoothly polished, and it feels far more premium than the price suggests. Also, the magnetic pieces are a huge win. They hold firmly in place without feeling awkward or overly strong, which makes it perfect for travel or casual play on the couch or at the table. Even when the board is tilted or moved, the pieces stay put. The felted bottoms and magnetic board show real attention to detail. The folding case and internal storage are extremely well designed. Each piece has its own slot, so nothing rattles around or gets damaged, and the metal clasps keep everything securely closed. I especially appreciate the rounded corners—they help prevent the edges from getting dinged or chipped over time, which is a smart, practical touch for a portable set. This is an excellent gift for kids or adults alike—portable, durable, beautiful, and extremely well made. Highly recommended.

This set arrived a few hours after I ordered it much to the delight of my 9 year old grandson. This set is attractive and well made. The magnetism works well and the pieces store safely in padded compartments. A great value!

This wooden chess set is beautiful and high-quality. The magnetic pieces stick well, making it perfect for playing without constantly knocking them over. The board has a nice weight and finish, and the size is just right for comfortable play. It’s both a great decorative piece and really enjoyable for casual or serious games. We’ve already spent hours playing and love it!

Very pleased with this purchase. Was looking at different boards, and was a little hesitant to get a folding one, but saw this one on sale for $25 and change, saw that it has favorable reviews, and decided to take the plunge. So glad I did! Board has a nice finish, piece storage is nice with the foam cutouts, and the board lays flat when opened up. The pieces themselves are not heavy, but aren't what I would consider lightweight either, they're a good balance. The magnets hold them well to the board and the style and finish are nice also. Purchased this to teach my daughter how to play, and this really is ideal. Board is big enough to allow her to move the pieces without easily knocking into others, but the magnets hold well enough when she does. Price to value ratio is great in my opinion. I didn't have to spend a bunch to have a nice quality chess set that will hopefully give a great return on investment with the memories made! Definitely recommended.

Great quality board. Magnet strength is strong. Foam cutouts hold pieces secure for storage or travel. Priced right for the quality.

5 stars for value. Yes, there are other chess sets out there that are nicer...triple weighed, solid mahogany, hands carved by a master tradesman in a remote alpine village. But this one is nice enough that I don't imagine anyone will judge you over it. And if they do, they aren't someone you want to hang out with long enough for a game of chess. If you're looking for a set that looks nice, feels nice, and that you can snag at a price low enough that you're willing to let your kids play with it, get this one.

Well-made, pieces are fairly heavy, nice inlay work on the board - latches to keep it shut and foam with recesses for storing the pieces. Wood finish is great. Magnets in the pieces not quite as strong as advertised, I doubt that the pieces will stick when the board is upside down like the listing says, but better than nothing. I like how they included a pretty complete set of rules for chess, nice for new players. Overall a good value, in my opinion!

Great quality. Nice finishes and closing mechanisms for the price. Bought two chest sets, one costing much more. The second did not compare to the value of this one. Wonderful gift for a beginning player or seasoned, with the magnetic pieces.
