Looking for a set for home and use for travel. I’d love wood but that might be too spendy?

If you can afford it, based on your income and living situation, it's always nice to have a good set around. Just make sure you take care of it and be very careful when and where you use it.

Depending on your lifestyle, it's nice to have a nice cheap non-basic plastic set around for kids, blitz, bughouse, club or tournament games, and to have a wood set for nicer large events (do keep in mind that top boards at main tournaments are almost always supplied with organizer-issued sets and clocks).

For Black pieces, natural ebony or blood rosewood are excellent choices.
