Between CB and HOS, I prefer the HOS' The Fischer Dubrovnik Series Chess Pieces with 3.625" King.

They're always sold out with the brown Anjan model (pictured above). Having said that, I'm sure both CB and HOS Dubrovnik handles well during play.
I have used the HOS set for a few years and it handles fine. When it arrived some of the pieces had to be returned as they were not in good shape. HOS actually argued with me on that. It is sad that HOS allows garbage sets to leave their warehouse with no inspection! It is bad business.

I agree, I've had similar issues with a few HoS sets. If there's a problem, their attitude seems to be, "prove it!" Which makes no sense. Why would I send a piece back if it wasn't damaged? I had to build a case for every piece I had to return.
