In the summer of 2004, we traveled to the USA and Canada. We visited Victoria Island, British Columbia too, which I believe is the place where we got this chess set from. The top of the base was made of glass so DH carefully hand-carried the box around the airport. We never opened the wrapping, it was in its original box. We never really had the space for that. At some point, DH attempted to bring it to Jakarta to be put in his apartment there, but I think, he did not had enough space and decided to leave it for a while. Then it was forgotten.
I placed the box under the printer for a couple of years to provide base and support and elevate the printer's height to a more comfortable level. It was meant to be temporary but it continued until we moved out of the previous house.
Finally, we moved and had a bigger space, a bigger living room for once. DH opened it one day and put the set on the table in the living room. Nice. They are out after five years in captivity.
