Anyone have cracks in chess boards?

To be fair to Raphael Neff, it not only states the pieces are made in India but I also know of no company based in the USA turning wooden chess sets for many decades (my guess is about 80 years). Every set of chess pieces are imported unless someone private is making the set for you. The best wooden sets are all made in India. I copied and pasted the specs of the set or you can see for yourself at this URL.  https://www.chesshouse.com/collections/usa-made-chess-products/products/heirloom-championship-chess-set

CHESS PIECES

  • 3 3/4" King
  • 1 1/2" Base
  • 32 Pieces + 2 Extra queens for that occasional pawn promotion
  • Felt bases
  • Ebonized Boxwood is created when Boxwood is specially stained to the black appearance similar to the desirable Ebony wood. This is ideal for those who like the black contrast at a reasonable price. The light pieces are finished in clear-stain Boxwood as with most sets of chess pieces.
  • Made in India

CHESS BOARD

  • Board size: 21"
  • Square size: 2"

Looks pretty clear to me.
