wonderfully made and beautiful wood and carvings... just a little too heavy

Purchased as a gift for my mother, and she absolutely loves it!  Wooden case and racks are a beautiful wood with a lovely finish.  The bottom of the case is covered with felt to protect the surface on which you place the case.  The tiles are well made, have a nice heavy feel, and a deep, clear imprint.  The graphics on the tiles are attractive.  The only negatives, which are fairly minor are that the  pushers are a "universal" type and therefore have an end that is not useful with the racks in this particular set.  Also, the green ink is so dark in color it is difficult to distinguish from the black ink used on the tiles.

Wonderful. The weight and feel of the pieces makes them great for actually playing chess, and they look like the pictures of the sets in the National Museum Scotland and the British Museum. Excellent facsimile. You will love them for playing chess if you don't mind departing from a Staunton design. Otherwise, you will love them for their aesthetic appeal.

Photo's of these figurines don't do them justice. They are extremely detailed works of art, I almost find it hard to call them toy's. I am 49 & instead of collecting stamps or model trains I am building a Medieval castle siege that has grown so large I had to move it to my basement. In building this Diorama I have found 4 company's that make these figures Schleich being the most detailed rivaled only by Papo's Prestige line & Safari's Real historical figures. Schleich is very accurate to history the only discrepancy I have found is in the color's of the Fleur Di Lis Camp & The Lion Coat of Arms Camp the colors seem to be opposite to history the French army's in blue & the English Army's in Red.  But this small discrepancy doesn't distract from the amazing craftsmanship involved with these figures. Also it should be known that these "Toys" quickly gain in value when Schleich retires there product run!  Even the more recent figures made with a Polyethylene resin instead of metal are already reaching triple digits!!! This makes these figurines quite a lucrative investment when kept in good condition. The Lion Coat of Arms & the Fleur Di Lis camps represent the hundred year wars between France & England But you can add the tournament knights & Crusader knights to your collection without stretching the imagination to far as many a Nobel Knight would return from the Crusades only to find his fiefdom usurped by a cowardly relative!  And during many siege battles Mercenaries were hired by both sides to try & win the battle!!!  I guess my love of history is showing!! Long & short of it is whatever your reason's for purchasing this beautifully crafted Knight, you will not be disappointed as a toy they are extremely durable & as a display figurine they are incredibly detailed !!!!

This is absolutely a beautiful set. Very stylish and I love the color and patter. Made very well. I went to town carrying it, and was asked who is the designer and I need this. So you will have no problem making a statement with this set. Each bag is deep and spacious which is perfect for a carry on, moms needing to bring extra things and more. So feel confident in this purchase. It comes with a purse cover for storage and oh yeah, the gold accents are amazing too. I just love this set. I did get this at a discount but this girl LOVES IT and this is an Honest Review!!!

This is the perfect gift for my grandmother! This piece is so sturdy and so bright and colorful. I really love the butterfly design and neat accents that are included with it.

the chain is a very thick gold color almost spring like chain that is very thick and sturdy. The clasp is a lobster claw clasp and it holds very well especially considering the weight of this piece. I am certain it will last a long time.

I also love the slide for this necklace. It is a brightly colored butterfly design enamel that is very well made and it also has some small white crystals offsetting the butterfly design. It really looks beautiful.

The earrings in this set are a bit larger than I like to wear but I'm sure that my grandmother will like them. They have a unique clasp design .so no need to run around .looking for earring backings for this set. They are a little bit heavy so I would worry a little about them stretching out your holes if you wear them on a regular basis.

Overall I was extremely satisfied with the quality and design of this piece even though I believe the weight and size is suited a little better for someone older than me. I was able to try this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I wasn't sure at first about ordering these reproductions since they didn't have any reviews however after checking out their reviews on etsy, eBay, and their personal website I decided to take the plunge.

I have been more than 100% pleased with my business interactions! As these were a present I needed them to be perfect. I contacted Bridget Rojas with some questions and she immediately got back to me. She even included a wonderful note in the box. They are on top of their customer service down to the details!

The details of the chess pieces are superb! I compared them to pictures of the originals and they are beautifully done reproductions! They are just the right weight with a beautiful antique finish and have a nice felt on the bottom so they don't scratch your chess board. My only wish with these is that they would have come with a nice chess piece box to store them in. They don't actually fit in any regular chess piece box as I expected since the pieces are on the larger end. I don't think my crappy phone pictures do them justice at all as they are stunning in person. Truly a remarkable reproduction!

What really drew me to The Chess Guild's: Isle of Lewis Chess Set instead of the National Museum of Scotland's Chess Set was the variation in the pieces. Each side is different. There are different berserkers included on each side along with the two different warders. I just love the pop of red that these ones have (just like they think some of the originals were prior to fading). They are as close to the original sets size as I could find. Best part is they don't have the price tag of the British Museum's: Isle of Lewis Chess Set.

This is a 1:1 chess board which means they are supposed to be the exact same size as the original Isle of Lewis Chessmen in Scotland and Britain. The white king is a little over 4 inches and the red king is very slightly under 4 inches check pictures for measurements. (Do not get confused...they ALSO sell a smaller version of these that fits a more standard chess board on etsy and their website)

This 1:1 chess set needs a board with 2.5 inch squares. Don't try to go any smaller! The base of the king fits perfectly on this size square. I ordered in a 23.6 inch wenge and maple chess board with 2.5 inch squares from The Regency Chess Company, which I think goes really well with these pieces. You can see the pictures below for the match up. Link is included: http://www.amazon.com/Wenge-Maple-Deluxe-Chess-Board/dp/B002LYUS14

Overall customer service was great, packaging was perfect, and shipping went smoothly. I am very happy with the exquisite details of the product and I would definitely purchase from them again!

P.S. I dropped one of the pieces when I was unwrapping them and it wasn't damaged. They seem reasonably durable, however I don't recommend dropping them on purpose! '

This doll carriage is AWESOME! It came super quick and it was very easy to assemble.  Took approximately 5 minutes.  My daughter is 3 and we are expecting our 2nd baby.  At first she though it was a present for the new baby, but then realized that it was a double carriage and said we were only have one baby and she has two babies so it must be for her!  After we added the handle bar (which was perfect height) she knew it was for her and squealed with excitement.  She quickly had her two babies buckled in and told daddy that the Easter Bunny had brought her an early present.
It is very sturdy and does not feel or look cheap in any way.  It is made with quality materials.  Some great things about this pink doll stroller is that it has adjustable handles up to 30".  It is a twin stroller is fully assembled all you need is to put the wheels on and it also folds flat.  The twin carriage fits two 18" dolls and has a large storage basket to keep all of the dollies essentials and anything else your princess wants to carry around.  The stroller has a belt for dolls to keep them secure.  The only thing I wish was different was a belt in the middle where the doll legs are so they can't slip under the strap.  This is made by The New York Doll Collection which also offers very high quality doll strollers, furniture, clothes and shoes and accessories!

I adore this unusual locket. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to open it. It's gorgeous with no It's at all. I slipped pictures in to both sides.  2 different pictures of the the great Man o' War. The pieces are solid, and tug rose gold is the perfect finish for these photos.

Gift to Pastor and Wife, and they loved it. Very well made and heavy. The packaging was excellently packed, was in two boxes, and had the firm star foam around the chest with a plastic bag over the chest. I was very impressed with the packaging, ups delivered it and it was very heavy. I had ordered from another place and had to send it back two times, because the round knobs were broken off, so this one was my third chance, and I said third time is charm. I loved the handles and the weight of the chest, very well made, the handles gave it a victorian look, and the color of the chest I loved, perfect color of wood. A much better one compared to the other one I had ordered and had to send back two times. Thank goodness I got it in time to give to them for Christmas. Very fast delivery. I am so glad I found this one and ordered it for my Pastor and Wife! Wife said it was gorgeous, and that she had never had anything like it before, best gift she got for Christmas! I also had purchased Christmas Holly Berry silverware and put inside for a perfect display!

I purchased this figure, along with several others of the Schleich line, and was amazed at how well crafted and beautiful they truly are. The figures are well sculpted, well painted, and very durable - meaning that if I WAS to let my son have a go at them, they could hold up to the punishment.

They are accurately detailed, with no traces of 'fantasy' or 'mythology' to them - no flaming swords, or oddly shaped weapons and armour. The knights are superbly crafted and historically designed.

If I may quote the previous post of EquisNiger: "The pieces come in two opposing camps: the Red Fleur de Lis, and the Blue Lion, and each piece has a corresponding piece in the other, with somewhat different design and graphics. This reflects an impressive variety in styles of armament and armor of the period, and vastly improves the educational value of the series. "

In all, I give this line of figure and their accessories Two Thumbs Up!

I was amazed !!, This item was shipped 1 day after being ordered and arrived 2 days later.  All 91 pieces are smartly packaged in a high density arrangement and are of excellent quality, workmanship and way more affordable than the Thomas or Brio track sets. My Wife and I can't wait to see our Daughter, Son in law and Grandson playing trains with their new expansion set. Both big 'Kids' spend hours constructing different layouts with their 3 year old Son and that makes for some great family time.
Some previous reviews concerning weak and thin crossing gates and non-operating turn table quality appear to have been solved.
I would definitely recommend this to any train enthusiast.

I am very happy I found this little fellow at a reasonable price! He is what I believe to be a earlier release of the Fleur De Lis & Lion Coat of Arms Schleich product run & long since retired.  If you are familiar with Schleich figurines then you know how beautifully detailed & historically accurate these figurines are. I was unfortunate & didn't discover these collectable figurines until many were already retired.  It's almost difficult to call them toys because they quickly gain in value once retired & their detail far exceeds that required for toy's, they are also individually hand painted making each one vary ever so slightly giving them a unique individuality. This member of the Fleur-De-Lis Camp is called "The Halberdier" but is actually holding a Glaive, the subtle distinction between these pole arm weapon's is that Halberd's were defined by a war hammer like face or Hooked Spike opposite the axe face edge. The Glaive grew from farming tools & eventually became the Halberd over time. This Warrior also carry's a axe by his side for close combat & is a wonderful addition to any army. Although I collect these figurines to add to a Medieval Siege Battle going on in my basement they do make good toy's as they are made of a very durable polyethylene like product.  But as a toy they are rather pricey, & since they gain rapidly in value after retirement there value would be compromised if damaged or scuffed up in use as a toy. This soldier is becoming very hard to find & is quickly rising in value already.

My granddaughter absolutely loves this carriage and she takes it with her wherever she goes. It is exactly as it appears in the picture and very easy to put together. It is just a matter of putting on the wheels. Very pretty for a little girl and the fact that it can be converted into a stroller is an added bonus.

I choose this handleset for the front door of my traditional 1860's New England home. It looks beautiful and has a sturdy heft to it. My contractor advised me when shopping for new hardware not to try to cut corners on this purchase for safety and long term usage concerns.  Of the possible selections I made we both agreed for looks and performance the Baldwin was the best choice and I've not been disappointed.
