I'm quite happy with this chess set, and it's definitely going to find a place in my ever-growing collection. The craftsmanship on both the board and the pieces is simple but elegant, and you'll certainly find nothing to complain about there.
In terms of size, this set exists in a kind of middle area between a home chess set and a travel set. The board and pieces are a little on the small side for a home set, but the reversible drawer design offers large, portable storage space which makes the whole thing a little large for travel purposes. However, don't let that turn you off. Personally, I'm actually fond of the larger-than-average size for a travel board, because as long as you have the space in your car or suitcase, the larger size makes it much easier to play a good game.
Whether you're just learning the game or whether you're a lifelong chess enthusiast like me, you won't be disappointed by this set.
