@KnightsForkCafe I love those borderless boards. And those polymer chess pieces are very nice. they have a few sets on that site.

Love those polymer sets. Look how they have a wood grain in it.

@PBKid I have that set and I was very disappointed for getting it. Not very heavy and for the price. I could get a wooden Zagreb set for about the same price. They are currently out of Sheesham version but it does cost nearly the same.

@KnightsForkCafe The Zagreb set is my favorite wooden set. I also like this set here.

Wish it was black and bronze though.

@sound67 Considering I just bought the Ultimate chess set I think I'll always be disappointed by weight. But that Nero polymer set weighing in at 4.58 lb(2.07 kilos)., that would be a nice set.

 

This set here weighs about 3.75 lbs.

@PBKid if you are wanting a Zagreb set. I found one that is at a decent price.

I’m a big fan of the Nero set: decent looking, heavy, indestructible... they look good on a wood board or a mousepad board.

These are nice sets for the price.  They are a clone of the old Drueke player's choice line - far cheaper than an original set (especially the really rare red/white combo) and just as well made - heavier than the original base line Drueke player's choice sets.
