https://www.chessshop.eu Good? or Avoid?

Has anyone ordered from https://www.chessshop.eu ?

Prices are good, but no reviews in Trustpilot.

Recommendations or criticism requested please.

Thanks I'll ask @sound67.

I need a big board, or fold-out box/board (55mm squares) for my Xmas present set (102mm King with 42mm base).

https://www.niggemann.com/en/sets-boards/boards.html?feldgroesse=55.0-64.0 is a good store.

Thanks bananamoon. Tremendous choice there.  Reasonable prices, but not as cheap generally as the chessshop.eu - though no-one has recommended that site yet.

I like this one https://www.niggemann.com/en/sets-boards/boards/chessboard-walnut-folding-sq-55-mm.html

and this 58mm one is really inexpensive https://www.niggemann.com/en/catalog/product/view/id/20582/s/chessboard-mahogany-maple-field-square-58-mm-20582/category/391/  I'm tempted !

Did you buy a set from  https://www.chessshop.eu ?

I get an really iffy vibe from them.

See my post here: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/chessshop-eu

 Thanks, will do.

Will do, thanks again.

I was looking at https://www.chessshop.eu/ as well, it would be cool to know if @Malc_C bought is set there. Myself I was looking at this one (https://www.chessshop.eu/chess-sets/89-chess-set-french-staunton-no5.html) as it is a folding board with beatiful pieces with a good price. I haven't seen a similar one in the other sites I've checked

I like the Czech set that they are offering. 

Have you bought anything from them @KnightsForkCafe?

@FernandosGoat No I haven't bought anything for them at the moment. I was merely admiring the Czech Club set they are offering.

Bumping an oldie here, but wanted to share my experience with chessshop.eu. I made an order something like six months ago for a folding 6" board and Reykjavik acasia pieces. Prices were good and they looked pretty nice.

I knew it was probably the worst time to buy chess equipment, so i wasn't too dissappointed when they had to push the estimated delivery to "early summer". August came and I checked their online store, and they had a set of completely new boards and pieces in stock, so i emailed them if I could change my order.

They were both higher in value, but they didn't want any money for the swap, because how long i had waited for my order to be fulfilled.

My only complaint is that they allowed people to order goods that they obviously had no real promise of actually getting or knowing when they get them. Now they have changed this and you can't purchase goods that are difficult to get.

Customer service was always very polite and they responded quickly. How they handled the product change was more than I expected and delivery from Czech to Finland was only 4 days.

These are the ones I finally got and I'm very happy with the guality. Pieces are quite nice for the price point and have proper weight to them. The board looks really good from playing distance but if you go closer, you can see some minor issues here and there. It is a handmande veneer board and at 54€ I think it's totally acceptable. The box is really nice, nothing to complain there.

I payed much less because I initially ordered lower priced pieces and the prices were also generally lower back then, so I got a very good deal in the end. But I wouldn't be disappointed if I purchased these at their current prices, I think all of them are easily worth it and would buy again.

I hope this helps anyone considering to buy from them or just looking for a nice affordable chess set. If you have any questions or want better pictures of the set, just ask.

The weight of the kings are 59,6 and 59,8 grams. Not bad for 3,75"

I'm always on the lookout for new Chess Equipment shops. Browsing through the chessshopeu site, I saw this set and thought it looked familiar... It's the same set displayed in Magnus Carlsen's intro video on his YouTube channel. It's interesting that he (or his team) is using a cheapo €25.00 set during the professional shoot. 

The Queen's crown is very distinctive. It looks like a big pie. I think that's why it stuck in my memory. Haha!

I have made multiple orders from this site. The costumer service is amazingly responsive and ultra kind. Can't say anything bad about this shop. Highly recommand buying here if you live in Europe!
