Avoid These Chess Pieces – Poor Color Contrast Makes Them Unusable

The color difference between the "Black" and "White" pieces is barely noticeable—they are both far too dark, making it extremely difficult to distinguish between them during a game. Honestly, they are completely impractical for actual play. If you value clarity and usability in your chess set, do not buy these pieces. I'll be looking to exchange or give them away as soon as possible, as they are simply not fit for purpose. Save yourself the frustration and choose a set with proper contrast instead.
