The modern game of chess started around 1475 in Spain when
the queen and bishop got a much more powerful move. It was
called "Mad Queen Chess".
These new rules quickly spread throughout western Europe and in Spain. The enhanced move for the chess queen started after the coronation of the powerfull queen of Spain Isabella I. The historical records duly note that Queen Isabella I was crowned with the sword of justice raised in front of her, and the sceptre and throne were given to her. This allusion to the real-world event is so clear within the Scachs dÕAmor poem to IsabellaÕs actual coronation that the inspiration of Queen Isabella for the new chess queen and powerfull dama of the draughts game is unquestionable. The Spaniards like the Moors, played a game on the board of lines and called it alquerque. The game became modern draughts through being transferred to the chessboard around that time. This book is the result of at least 30 years investigations in the Spanish archives

Take pictures of product pieces in the carton. Assemble where you have room to lay each piece out.

This is a great product, and easy to assemble. The directions were straightforward. Only snag was getting pieces to line up, but able to figure it out. Good tools included.

Cute storage shelf.
Size: 12 cube
This is particle board, as expected for the price. Instructions were easy to follow. I assembled it alone but there was one step that would have been easier with 2 people. I have a better Allen wrench attachment than the one included and it saved my fingers a lot of pain. It's cute when assembled. The openings are 10.5x10.5x11 inches so 11x11x11 inch baskets don't fit but you can find 10.5 inch baskets that work. It's very sturdy and the way it's constructed, the shelves shouldn't ever droop. It's a good value for the money. It's perfect for my sewing room.

Smaller than expected.
Size: 8 cube
The directions were complicated with only image directions. One person can put this together. It took me about an hour. The item is smaller than I expected. The image is misleading. Definitely not waist high for an adult. More like thigh height. Guess I should have paid more attention to the measurements instead of the image. It looks nice when assembled. For the price I expected something taller.
