Ow boy. I DO have experience with that exact chess set from chess bazaar and it is not a good one.
I bought two of these chess sets as I was planing to use them a lot outdoors and was expecting I would lose/break some pieces over time and so have spares. The sets were very cheap at the time due to Chess Bazzars commonly held sales.
The sets I got in the mail were flawed, the dark pieces (sheesham) were incredibly light in color, so much so that I played with them once and once only. My usual sparing partner was not amused either, they were confusing on the board being too close to the light pieces in color. If these were the only sets i had i suppose i could force myself to play with them, but as is, they just sit in storage and i hope that maybe the wood will darken with time.
To further clarify I own several other chess bazaar chess sets including ebonized german knight (same set just black) and their english chess set also in shesham and those are just fine in color. I also have no experience at all with their chess boards.
It is very possible it was just a bad batch and you’ll get a perfectly fine darker wood set, but the two i got were a mistake and a waste of money.
I am currently planning to buy and use the below set at home for daily play/study. If anyone has used this, your opinion would help me in making the right decision.

Also I liked the below set, but not able to figure the company/make. Please help me identify the below chess set(Board and the pieces) in the video.
