Not for Everyday Use
By Mom2Boys
We purchased this chess set for my son who really enjoys playing chess as well as studyigng the Civil War. What could be better than both combined? Unfortunately within a few days of use literaly half the pieces had broken. The pieces are not weighted correctly so any simple nudge will knock them over. They then fall on the hard, heavy board and simply break. The Queen's head, the King's arm, the Knights' / horses' feet. Literally half of the peices have been glued back together, and this in just a few days of use. So no, this is not a chess set for everyday use. And, as it is not even that pretty, not for collecting either. You would do better to look elsewhere.

It is exactly what you pay for
By Bruce Kendall
If you are buying a theme chess set to use, then you are getting what you paid for. However if you collect themed chess sets you will be disappointed, spend the extra bucks. I bought or rather Santa delivered this for my ten year old son to help keep his interest up in playing chess; since he had become rather fascinated with American history during the Civil War period this allowed me to support his interest in History yet encouraging continued development of his concentration, and problem solving skills while having fun doing it. While the board itself weigh's several pounds and is awkward to move around we have enjoyed it.

Save your money for something better
By iamdavinci
This is exactly a toy made from some cheap plastic material from China - the pieces and board come in a Styrofoam box that was crumbling when I opened the UPS box. It does not even have a regular box to store the board and pieces. Save your money for a better set if you are a civil war buff. This is not acceptable and I will be returning it. I am glad I got it at a cheap price and not the $79.99 price that I have seen it at. Still when it comes to craftsmanship this chess set loses. The pieces look horrible and are not well made. But you get what you pay for.
