Amazing set

This set in blood rosewood is a real beauty. I cannot stop looking at it. Not only will you enjoy more every game but it will also shine in your living room... I specially like how well you can distinguish each piece from each other without distracting yourself and the balance between all the pieces. I find the knight, the bishop and the rock especially beautiful!
