I think the chess set is worth it for the price storage inside the playing board works great was able to fit all of the chess and checkers pieces inside. I am a very satisfied buyer. I strongly recommend buying this Lego set.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5 from 25 reviews

It was not in an Amazon box. This lego set was shipped by putting the label on the actual lego box. The postman left it outside in the snow. The legos were ok, but it was a birthday present and the box was all bent up and wet. Not good. The chess set was monotonous to make. It looks cool but it is difficult to move the pieces on the lego board. It's frustrating because it is very easy to knock over the other pieces when you are moving your piece. It is a disappointment. My grandson liked making it, but it is not easy to play with. I'm sorry I purchased this.
