The Simply Modern is an interesting deviation of the traditional Staunton Design - ideal for all who love a difference. Their design is slick and well... simple, giving it a touch of modern design. Despite the lack of features on the pieces, they are clearly discernable. Even the knight is featureless - but it's this simplicity which gives the chessmen a certain touch of exclusivity - without the associated price tag.
In terms of metrics, the kings weigh 57g with a height of 3.7". The base diameter of 1.4 inch means a board of 1.8 inch square size would nicely fit this army of simple chessmen.
"Simply Modern" is a good choice for your first quality wooden chess pieces due to their low price, yet outstanding design. Also great for collectors of chessmen or chess enthusiasts who also like modern art.
