Does anyone have hands-on experience with the new Nymzo Staunton Series 01 pieces?

I’ve had them now for 2 weeks, at first I was skeptical paying $180 for plastic pieces but decided worst case I could return it.

I don’t regret it, the quality is outstanding. The metal base I thought would stick onto the silicone mat but I don’t know what they did, it slides very smoothly.

The carrying bag is very high quality, with branding even on the string.

Overall, the whole thing is amazing, nothing feels like a generic part which got rebranded, everything feels custom made.

My one gripe if I had to find one is the mat is great but a bit harder to carry around compared to some other boards which you can scrunch up into a ball and throw it in a backpack, but the mat being such high quality I think makes up for it.

I also had a minor problem with my first order and one of the owners got in touch with me same day and sorted it out, the customer service was fantastic.

Overall I highly recommend it, it was between this or a $900 Purling London set, which I know is not comparable, but the nymzo set definitely delivered on the quality, and now I think I can go without the purling London I had in mind for now since these pieces are already so nice.

Maybe it's this:

I guess it's a "Stanton" style set - whatever that is.

The set looks really nice. Clearly a lot of effort went into the design and execution. The price point is going to be an issue though. Only a small percentage of the chess buying market will go for that number.
