Review: Beautiful - This chess set turned out to be even more attractive in person than the pictures. The squares on the board have a nice grain to them (in different directions between light and dark squares), and the ridges do in fact catch ambient light in a striking way. I also think the pieces are close enough to standard shapes to be easy to recognize but different enough to be interesting. I haven't seen the quality control problems others have noted. There weren't any scratches or mismatches between the tops and bottoms of the pieces. Everything looks and feels very high quality. Maybe the manufacturer has fixed some of those problems, or maybe I just got lucky with my set. As for playing, it's obviously not the most usable set. You can't easily slide pawns forward, like chess players usually like to do. And the wobbling of the pieces can be distracting during play (though it doesn't last very long). However, the pieces are nice and heavy with a satisfying "thunk" when you put them on the board. And the pieces have a lot of tactile interest to them because they have a lot of curves, so fidgeters like me will enjoy playing with them. I wanted an interesting, beautiful, reasonably playable, reasonably priced chess set; I'm very happy that this one has checked all of those boxes.
Review: This wonderful set makes the game more fun; assuming it arrives in an acceptible condition. - It's an excellent design i spotted in chicago 5 years ago at architecture foundation but couldn't buy. Congratulations to the designer who created such a wonderful idea, and to desertcart who made it accessable. I will use it with pride when i welcome chess playing friends. But, it's a fact that the set should be packed extremely well for unharmed delivery to the buyer, which it wasn't. That's probably why the board was cracked horizontally in one corner, under about 4 squares. This was apparent before opening the package since it obviously received an impact on one of the corners on the way. Well i like desertcart and use all its branches every once in a while, but this is an important mistake, fortunately not writing off the set. I can't be bothered dealing with exchanging the board even if someone says there is such an opportunity, since the corner seems solid enough, the squares are unharmed and crack wouldn't propagate further. I will continue shopping with all desertcarts but will hope for undamaged products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Wobble chess set is for the chess enthusiast!
*by M***I on January 21, 2024*

The Umbra Wobble Chess Set is for chess lovers. Of course, being a novelty item it would interest just about anyone but as a gift, I cannot see spending a premium price point on anyone who is not acclimated to the game. The pieces wobble to and fro with a nudge, or seemingly “breakdance” when spun, so it is a definite conversation piece. Both the pieces and board are very well made down to the finish. The base of the pieces seem to be a polished metal and the carved wood finish of the tops of the pieces are hard and lacquered. The king has a rather thin neck that kind of worries me if I ever were to…. drop it…. and he and the queen are adorned with metal pieces to help differentiate them from the bishops, which by the way have a slot carved into their heads. The rooks have two such slots but they are crossed on their stubby flat heads, and the knights look like horses so they will never be mistaken for anything other than their stereotype. The pawns are short like the rook and knight, and they wobble/spin the best due to their lower center of gravity. The board has squares that are concave with just the right curvature so it cradles the pieces as they move in place. For those of you who care to know: if you spin them too fast they might hop to a neighboring square. The board’s finish is near flawless, although my F6 square (or C3, depending on the orientation) has a scuff mark that does not seem go away (possible damage during shipment), but it is barely noticeable so I still find myself happy with my purchase.
