I have a half dozen humans most of whom aren’t very responsible. I wanted to stimulate their brain with a minimum of cash investment and this chess board accomplished that mission. My eldest commented on the cheap nature of the set to which I retorted that it is precisely that quality which drew me to it, and perfectly fit the bill of my requirements.
The great thing is that this chess set is still going strong, many early mornings I’ve gone in to the kids rooms’ to find them huddled around the chess board, and when I hear the pieces fall to the floor, I just grin and know it is in good use and if it breaks–who cares?
Buy this set, leave it lying around, and with any luck, someone you love will actually put it to use and offer some muscle building competition to the brain jelling most of our society’s entertainment outlets offer.

I purchased several of these for a kids’ chess club and they work just fine. I did not find them to be as flimsy as cereal boxes, as another reviewer claims. The board doesn’t always lie entirely flat until after a few rounds of play, but they fold down to be very small, so for a chess club, they work great. They are suitable enough for casual play and work well for teaching kids.

This board is about the thickness of cereal box cardboard. Very warped and will not straighten, not even with an iron – totally useless – do not buy unless you just want the classic cheap pieces.
