Can anybody review wooden magnetic sets?

Sort:

Hi friends, I am wondering whether any of you own or had a chance to use one of those folding wooden sets with wooden pieces and magnets in them. I know there are the ones that are made in India somewhere and are sold by many online retailers under no given brand name. And there are the wooden magnetic Wegiel chess sets. I am deciding which is better for use if I don't want the pieces to shift if the table is pushed. Visually they kind of all look nice but pictures can be deceiving. 

Can anybody give some feedback on those, or some alternative sets? Thanks!

 

ps: I do own a couple of Chinese made plastic sets with black and white plastic pieces and grayish dark squares and light grey, chrome-like light squares. The 12" is good and has good magnets. The one that is under 10" has magnets that are too weak for my liking. Second one has metallic colored plastic copper and silver color pieces. I am sure you've seen those before.
