I don't own any of those since I only collect 3.5" to 4" sets built but I've seen them first hand from another forum members collection and they were all beautiful. I personally prefer the Victoria design.

Thanks for the feedback! I believe that is the Wellington that you have a pic of, which is what I'm currently leaning towards. Looks fantastic!

Yes that's the Wellington. Again they are all beautiful so it's a personal preference thing. I mainly posted the picture of @QtoQlevel3's to illustrate the type of wood grain and craftsmanship of real pieces rather than their advert pictures.
*Pictures were taken with flash to better see the grain pattern.
I'm looking to buy a quality set with a 4.4 inch king from chess empire but can't decide which from the below sets. Does anyone here have any experience with CE and any of the sets below?
Many thank
