Experience with House of Chess folding chess boards?

I was browsing the House of Chess web site and came across these:

They look quite interesting and attractive, but I've never heard anyone talking about them. How is the quality of these boards? In particular, how well protected are the pieces, and approximately what size range of pieces fit in the inserts?

I don't own any of the ones you're looking at, but I bought one of these about a year ago:

I am delighted with it. The quality is exceptionally good, especially so when you consider the price.

Assuming yours use the same storage as mine, and it looks as if they do, then the inlay is a chunk of hard-ish white foam. I don't know what type of plastic it is, but it's like an aerated, squishy, polystyrene. Hard enough to give a good resistance to being pressed, but not brittle. This is then overlayed with a thin layer of green baize-like material. The pieces are held very tightly in place, and on mine you'd have to have a very close match to the shape and dimensions of the supplied pieces to use any others. Perhaps if you email them, they'll let you know the dimensions they suggest, or they be able to supply a set if that works for you. The quality of the pieces on mine is like the board: nice enough that I get pleasure looking at and handling them, but not so exquisitely perfect that I'm afraid to use them. For me, that's the sweet spot.

Thank you, narnys!

This is very useful information.

The problem in my case is of course - as you already hinted at - that I would buy just the board and try to fit some of my existing piece sets inside. I think there must at least some flexibility, because House of Chess also sells some (also very nice looking) "presentation chess boxes" with similar inserts, and these are listed as supporting king sizes from 3.75 to 4 inches for the smaller version of the boxes and 4 inches to 4.5 inches of the boxes:

Still, it is far from obvious that they would work with any piece set within these size ranges.

Yes, I could (and probably will) write to House of Chess and ask, but I would feel safer if I also had some information from customers who have purchased some of these products.
