Another customer noted that they found a lower price for the same model of chess pieces, making it difficult to gift due to the higher price. Two customers commented on the weight of the pieces, suggesting that they could be heavier. Some reviewers also mentioned that the natural finish of the pieces could use a bit more contrast between the white and black colors. Overall, the 3.9" Russian Zagreb 59 Series Chess Pieces only Set from RoyalChessMall has received positive feedback for its quality, weight, craftsmanship, and unique design. The set is Considered a great choice for both playing chess and displaying as a showpiece.
