I am trying to start learning chess and this is my first set. I'm happy with the product overall. Below are couple of things I noticed.
(1) The quality of pieces is solid. I read a review saying that the pieces are fragile, but I found they are solidly built and durable. They look beautiful. I love black and white plastic pieces rather than wooden (wooden colored) pieces. I didn't find any damage to pieces.
(2) The set contains 34 pieces (32 + 2 extra queens).
(3) I got triple-weighted pieces, and found the weight is perfect. The weight is at the bottom part of each piece, which makes pieces stable. Very easy to move. The size is I assume standard for competition. This is not definitely not travel size, but I found the size perfect. Felt pad is attached to the bottom of a piece.
(4) The vinyl chess board is BIGGER than I imagined, but I guess this is the standard size for competition. It is 18 inches each side. Each square is 2.25 x 2.25. As described, the vinyl is of good quality. When I unroll and put onto a flat surface, it becomes flat pretty quickly. It's also nice that there are numbers and alphabets on the sides, helpful for a beginner like me.
(5) The nylon bag is also big! Of course, the bad can contain the big vinyl chess board and the clock (which is not included). Inside the bag there are three pockets, two for storing black and white pieces, and one for something else (pencil?). There is a strap included, so you can carry the bag on your shoulder.
Overall, I am happy with my first chess board!

Great set. Comes with convenient traveling bag. One zip up compartment for each color set of pieces.
Pen slots for recording moves.
May can be rolled up and put inside and always unrolls easily without getting damaged or stuck.
Absolutely great set, goof for use and gifts.
