A couple of the magnets are a little weak but outside of that, no problems.

Perfect Size Chess Set

Love the quality and feel of this chess set. This travel size chess set not too big to take with you places and not too small to be uncomfortable playing. I have had a couple of folding travel size sets that were not comfortable playing on an airplane or on the sofa. This is the perfect size chess set has great magnets and a joy to use.
