I bought this product 3 weeks ago. First of all the magnet is week and does not hold the pieces on the board when tilted. Secondly there is no cover to protect the board which also folds as a box. It can get scratches easily. It will not be useful if you are traveling since the magnet is not powerful enough to hold the pieces in place. The pieces move when the board is shaken lightly. It is as good as a non magnetic board.

When I am writing this review, I have just read the other 2 reviews…one good and one bad, and I can say that both are somehow right: the magnets are weak(but I feel they are just enough strong for my need, just to hold the pieces when I move around the house or bed), the pieces size is good for the board size and I like it as my study chessboard.
The knight could look a bit better, and I somehow dislike the white colour of the white pieces, but curently it is my favourite chess set(and I have more than 5), so if you want a study magnetic wooden folding chess set I would recomend it: 4 stars

The board and pieces seem to be of good quality. The pieces are the right size for the board. Most importantly, they stay put, even when the board is tilted at 90 degree angles. Can’t speak about it’s durability yet but it seems to be well constructed, with metal hinges and solid wood. Very nice, especially for the price.
